SECTION 15 • CLEANERS & SEALANTS

Tip #1
Maintaining the exterior of you RV contributes to extending the life of the RV and
protecting your investment. If you let your RV go, without cleaning it for periods
of time it can be very difficult to get that new look back. I recommend using
cleaners designed specifically for RVs.

Tip #2
Every seam on your RV and anywhere the manufacturer cut a hole in your RV
has the potential to allow water in. To protect your investment and your wallet
take the time to really inspect all of these seams and sealants. Water damage
on an RV is similar to progressive damage to a tire. The outside of the tire looks
fine, but the internal damage, over a long period of time, causes the tire to fail
without any warning. The outside of your RV looks fine but the internal damage
caused by water over a long period of time can result in the entire roof, floor or
wall rotting away without you knowing it. Make sure you use the proper sealant
for the type of material you are repairing.

Tip #3
Cleaning the RV roof is only part of maintaining the RV. Every time you clean
the roof you need to inspect the sealants around all of the openings and the
seams on the roof. Water will take the path of least resistance and if there is the
smallest opening it will find it. You need to thoroughly inspect the roof sealants
for potential leaks and reseal any areas of the roof seams and around openings
where you suspect a leak. Caution: Check with your RV owner’s manual or dealer
for sealants that are compatible with your roofing material.
