Plus I sealed up the back seam and dug out the other rear molding sealant and sealed that as well.. All I have to do is put the molding back up now that the roof patch was put on just before dark...post-1978-0-82410700-1397359549_thumb.jppost-1978-0-88605400-1397359582_thumb.jppost-1978-0-75175200-1397359620_thumb.jppost-1978-0-78473000-1397359651_thumb.jppost-1978-0-10706300-1397359686_thumb.jppost-1978-0-30591300-1397359717_thumb.jp

Did that trailer not have any corner trim holding those corners together? If not, seems like it would be kind of hard to keep sealed and dry in there. When I did some water damage repair on the old camper I had, I was able to put something like this back on to keep every thing together.

Then you just get the rubber insert to cover up your screw heads and make it look nice.

I had not posted any pics before I tore the wall apart... As you can see the rest of the rig is in excellent shape, granted I will be changing the motif just a bit to suit my liking :thumb1: post-1978-0-48926000-1397427381_thumb.jppost-1978-0-97223500-1397427398_thumb.jp

Please excuse the cabinets and sink on the floor... those were out already when I got the rig..

The project of today....The Eternabond arrived, so I got up on the roof and I taped up the seams on the roof repair post-1978-0-86039500-1398310490_thumb.jppost-1978-0-90134200-1398310524_thumb.jp then got to work on the rear vent area... the tape or whatever it was around the vent looked like crap.. So I removed all the old crap and cleaned the area then applied the Eternabond.. post-1978-0-93828500-1398310114_thumb.jppost-1978-0-97315600-1398310173_thumb.jppost-1978-0-20973500-1398310220_thumb.jppost-1978-0-15998400-1398310264_thumb.jppost-1978-0-66701700-1398310320_thumb.jppost-1978-0-38538900-1398310368_thumb.jppost-1978-0-65711500-1398310407_thumb.jppost-1978-0-26151400-1398310447_thumb.jp

Looking at the pictures of your roof in the other photos and these I would say you roof is getting rather wore out and won't last too much longer. There is a roof coating you could treat the roof again with to extend the life of the rubber. I'm going to be getting some this summer and re-doing mine to keep the roof as long as possible. I've only had one leak in the corner of the slide (Eternabond tape lifted) so it weeped into the corner and the wall has a nice patch of wavy wallpaper now. Only about 3x4 inches.

 

Now all you got to do is reassemble the interior right?

You are right the roof need a total makeover but the Lincoln is eating the roof fund :spend:  right now so this will work till I get the funds together next year or the year after... Be cause my mid to late summer savings will be going for new injectors for YabbaDoo :thumb1:  That is the plan anyway :wink:  I will then be putting aside for a new rubber roof for the 5th wheel :thumb1:

Well my friend came over this weekend and we got some work done on the RV... (finally, seems like it has been so crazy lately) First I changed the old tail lights with new LED's and got the rear corner braced and put the new panel in place along with re sealing the back window :thumb1: post-1978-0-26253700-1404101608_thumb.jppost-1978-0-56778400-1404101621_thumb.jppost-1978-0-00418100-1404101635_thumb.jppost-1978-0-76288800-1404101652_thumb.jppost-1978-0-86403700-1404101665_thumb.jppost-1978-0-12800700-1404101679_thumb.jppost-1978-0-38739700-1404101692_thumb.jppost-1978-0-47270100-1404101705_thumb.jppost-1978-0-13822100-1404101718_thumb.jppost-1978-0-63044600-1404101731_thumb.jp
