Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 2006Roof Question
I am in the process of rehabbing a VERY old RV (1973 open road, 400 Chevy V-8). The tin on the roof has numerous pit holes from corrosion. Can I use flexible, rubber based flashing sealant? Or is there a better option? I've had to remove 1/2 of the interior ceiling to remove warping plywood. I'd really prefer never having to do that again. Thanks, >I am in the process of rehabbing a VERY old RV (1973 open road, 400 Chevy >V-8). The tin on the roof has numerous pit holes from corrosion.

That thing probably has LOTS of hidden water damage you have yet to discover.  SignatureChris Cowles Gainesville, FL >I am in the process of rehabbing a VERY old RV (1973 open road, 400 Chevy >V-8).

Or you can get aluminum roofing material and apply that. Either one will do a very good job if you want to go through the time and expense to do it right. If you just want to stop it from leaking for awhile then get a couple of gallons of Kool Seal or Liquid Roof and apply that. You can look at what these products are at www.campingworld.com Do a search for Roof. EPDM roofing should be available from hardware stores or roofing dealers or RV dealers and other places on the web. Hope this Helps.
