Henry Tropi-Cool Sealant: amzn.to/43TIxPt
Eternabond Roof Seal Tape: amzn.to/3JcErIJ
We've done a complete restoration on this trailer covering every seam, axle, roof and all. If you have any questions about anything else we used on this project to protect and seal our trailer, let me know!
Check out this video to see a 2yr update with the same roof setup:

2 1/2 years ago I also used the Tropi-Cool on my roof of my 31 foot class A, all I have done is to pressure wash it and it comes out like new. The only bad thing I can say is, when wet it is soo damn slippery.
@@TIREDOFEVIL that’s great to hear. I installed a solar panel after this, and cleaned the area and yeah, that was slick!
Well done, just what I needed. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, good video and information.
Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
I did the exact same thing on my 5th wheel camper. I had a little left and coated my ac cover as well to keep that cooler.
That’s a good idea. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for showing your process. I'm doing a very similar restoration of a 24 year old trailer with the same issues. Lots of videos on the subject but I like the way your roof turned out.
Thanks so much. I hope it’s a success for you! We’ve been hit with some big rain storms since then, and it’s been great!
Just did the same to mine. Works great
@@dusty4208 that’s awesome
Hey man I saw your videos tdy , mmm they are absolutely beautiful content for sure mh man keep it up your good work 💗love from Sri Lanka
Thanks so much!
@@tracenfitzpatrick 🥰❣️
Great video, getting ready to do our camper tomorrow 😬
Thanks so much. That’s awesome, I hope it goes well for you guys!
I did the exact same thing on my 2021 wildwood. 29' I use the tape and Henry's. The roof was good no problems but I wanted to put a shell on it and to keep the camper cool inside. Since it is white it will reflect the heat.there was one comment that you didn't use the same product you mention not sure were he was going with that.
@@topgun5399 nice! That’s always good to hear of others success with the same setup. Yeah, not sure on that comment either. Best just to ignore those.
5 gallon did 2 layers on my 32 footer and did my 5x8 enclosed trailer i use for storage top sides one layer
That’s awesome!
I have a 2003 sunliner solaris.Look s just like yours.I am buying a cover and redoing the roof soon.
That’s awesome! I hope it goes well!
did this 7 years ago still like new and the tropicool was under 200 for 5 gallon now its around 400
Yeah, pretty pricey. But still worth it hearing yours is still strong after 7 years!
I was just quoted $2500 to patch and seal my RV roof so I'll soon be in line at home depot happy to pay the $400 🤦♂️ can't be having water getting in the rig!
@@TheChadSmithPodcast exactly! I hope it goes well!
Hi, I noticed that you had the eternabond on first and then swept and watered it down. So it's okay to put the tape on first and the water wont delaminate the tape?
The tape holds up to water just fine, yes. We put the tape on before winter, just make sure to wash where that will be going so it sticks to a clean surface.
If water delamed the tape it'd be worthless.
If that's a set up that you'll take on the road with you then Henry has the tropicool caulking tube at Depot for repairs if it catches a branch or something. Came in handy for me because that finish can scrape.
That camper will last a long time to come. Good ole Sunline from Pennsylvania! Cult classic brand and was sad to see them have to close up shop.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate the recommendation as well!
I figured they must have closed down with how hard it is to find info on ours.
@tracenfitzpatrick yes, for Sunline you would have to seek out the owner's forums. A friend of mine is on one and gets a lot of good info from those guys. Sunline lingered around I think for a year after the 2008 crash but that's what killed them. I think their biggest problem was trying to keep up with the other companies making bigger trailers with all the slide outs. I think had they cut back to their staple 18, 22 and 25ft models they might have made it through. Ironically today all the small units are the most popular but they were stuck in a market phase that killed them.
@@ToddStull that’s rough. I’ll have to look out for one of those forums. We really love the trailer!
@@ToddStull thanks for taking the time to comment. I haven’t run into another sunline owner yet, so that’s cool that you’ve got one!
@@tracenfitzpatrick I don't own one,, it's a good friend of mine that has one. I just know a lot about them as I've followed them from when I started rv'ing.
The only thing I've heard, and I think I'm remembering this correctly, was that it didn't stick well on top of the eternabond tape unless you primed the top surface of the tape. But hey, if it works without it, that's great.
I wonder about that too. But so far so good!
I don't think it matters if it sticks to the eternabond. Imo it doesn't have to.
That tape is a great product for going over seams, vents, edges of the roof
where the tpo meets the drip cap. Just apply it to the edge of the tape
Skip the eterna bond If you need more of a heavy seal lay a bed of henry down and the use their cloth tape inbedded and then covered with more Henry.
Great suggestion, thanks!
Is your roof tpo or epdm?
Ours is TPO.
how long is your trailer
25ft
@tracenfitzpatrick ok thanks getting ready to do mine mine is a 27 ft with overall so it 25 ft to
@@richardpotter1568 yeah, pretty much the same. Best of luck with yours! Hope it goes well.
I thought with Henry products you don’t need primer
Right. I used a cleaner to make sure the Henry’s would stick. No primer.
My cousin bought a motor home and needed to replace the roof they wanted $10,000.
@@tincanboat whew, that’s brutal!
The roof sealer you used and the one you say to use are totally different products. Should anyone believe what you say?
May I ask what are you talking about? Seems to me he is talking about the tape and Henry's witch I used and that's what he was using.just curios what you were referring too.
@@topgun5399 look at the product he used in the video. Pay attention to color of can and such. Then go to description and click the link to get the product. It’s a totally different product
