Fixing your RV Roofs
A Roof Over Your Head
You bought an RV to have “a roof over your head” (as the old saying goes) even when you’re on the go. But did you know that the roof is one of the most vulnerable areas on your RV body? Therefore, keeping the roof in good condition is crucial for protecting our RV investment. Bring your RV to Genesis Automotive in Tacoma, Washington, for routine preventive services to address potential problems or repair existing ones. Don’t let the heavy rainfall in Washington ruin your RV.
Problems and Solutions for Your RV Roof
One often forgotten problem for your RV’s roof is the dirt and debris that can collect on it. Think of leaves or pine straw landing, settling, and decaying with dampness. In extreme cases, much weight is added to the roof. However, even minor debris collection can destroy the roof over time. Therefore, it’s important to clean your RV roof periodically. But heed a word of caution. While you should clean, you shouldn’t use citrus- or petroleum-based cleaners. Abrasives aren’t a great idea, either. Choose a cleaner made for your particular roofing material and surface. Beyond cleaning, most RV owners may need three basic types of repairs for their roofs. These most frequent repairs are resealing the joints up top, sealing the entire roof, and patching holes or cracking in limited areas. How you do this depends upon the roof’s construction. Repairs may be necessary for fiberglass, aluminum, or rubber surfaces. When you entrust your home on wheels to us, we’ll review the specific application needed. Whether you need only spot repairs (joints, antenna connections, around skylights, and more) or a general roof reboot.
