Title: Camper Roof Vents Sealant/Caulk
Post by: Kittman on November 03, 2014, 12:46:40 PM: With these last few weeks of heavy rain I recently discovered a small wet spot inside my slide in camper next to a roof vent. Evidently it is way past time to reseal my roof. Have not done this repair before, but my research has lead me to believe there are only a couple of acceptable caulking/sealant compounds suitable for this application. There is ProFlex RV and Dicor Self-Leveling Lap Sealant - White. Please feel free to chime in if someone has used this stuff on your camper and what the results were. They are supposed to work for rubber and TPO roofs.

Anyone on here with actual experience with these types of sealant products?

But everything else get a re seal with proflex. Do it every year or your camper will rot from the inside out.
Insurance will not cover this maintenence.
