Nice thanks for taking the time i using the crazy seal on my RV its older 96 MA but in fair condition but replacing the Rubber is a real pain and as you know alot of upkeep .
That's one heck of hail proof roof and looks good. 10 years ago we were in Deadwood, South Dakota for the motorcycle Rally and fortunately we were back at the KOA campground in Deadwood when the sky opened up showered us with golf ball to hard ball sized hail. We had covered our Harleys and sheltered in our 30 foot Tahoe Transport Toy Hauler which was fairly new at the time and made it through the hour long hail storm with slight damage consisting of all of our roof vents! Our rubber roof was OK but looking around the campground after the storm the damage other peopled suffered was pretty bad but nobody got hurt there. There was broken truck windshields, dented hoods, dented Harley gas tanks & fenders some torn canvas on a few pop up campers. We replaced all of our roof vents with I think Camco Polycarbonate "hail Proof" roof vents. There thousands of damaged Harleys and vehicles that were on the road when that storm hit in August.
That’s Crazy. I replaced all of my roof vents and added a skylight…. All are polycarbonate. They state “unbreakable” on the literature but not on the warranty. 🤷🏼♂️ I’ll just keep them treated with 303 Aerospace Protectant to help prevent UV deterioration.
Looks good. I used a gallon of white flex seal. And I added four 100watt solar panels as well and use putty tape and self-leveling sealant to go around the screw holes in the mounts for the solar.
Thank you for using tape to tape off before you paint! I can't tell you how many rvs I've seen that are sealed with their finger or small brush and it looks horrible! Its so much easier and looks better if it's taped off. Question though...If some people use Dicor caulking to seal around the seams, vents and screws wouldn't you want to do that after you've put Crazy Seal or whatever roof sealant you use? The difference between the Dicor caulk and the the Crazy Seal caulk is the Dicor will keep leveling or spreading itself out while the Crazy Seal is silicone based that once it dries that is as far as it's going to spread out. If you paint over Dicor caulking it will keep spreading out and cause cracks in the roof sealer. I know there is Dicor under the roof sealer but will the silicon roof seal start peeling off and could cause water to seep in under it? If it was the Crazy Seal Caulking you'd be fine but the Dicor I think should be on top of the roof sealant not underneath it?
Hey Roller, good to hear from you. Hope you’re doing great. Thanks man…. It was a lot of work that needed to be done but we’ll worth the effort. I’m impressed enough with the crazy-seal products that I would become an affiliate and installer. Just not sure if I want to take on another business. I just passed my home inspector certification last month and will be launching that new business in January. Let’s just hope the economy turns around soon. Maybe by the time this administration is out the real estate market will cycle back. Cheers man ☕️
@@covetthecamper2289 I see a great opportunity to be an installer with that product...and mobile travel to the jobs. You would be an excellent trainer getting a business like that off the ground. Let's hope so! Our country needs to reverse course on some policies that serve everyone and not just the 5 or 6 folks at the top of the pyramid!
Will be doing a ton of testing this spring and summer. It get 115°f regularly here in Northern California but the humidity usually stays low. One other reason I purchased this particular a/c is for the dehumidifier (Dry) setting. I’m hoping to pull moisture out of the air and capture the condensation that drips into the pan through a valve/hose insert. My early proof of concept tests pulled out nearly 2 gallons of water into my 2.5 gallon jug over a 4-5hr period of running. I can either filter and consume this water or use it for other purposes. The condensation from the fresh air intake on normal cool settings can can be captured as well. I went to Athens Texas for a couple months (May/June) of 2018 for my RV Tech & Inspector training. The humidity is brutal there for sure.
That Crazy Seal - does it dry hard as a rock or flexible? My Bigfoot uses a fiber reinforced alkyd, honestly this looks like the exact same product, so I'm just curious. Looks waterproof for sure.
I have watched nearly every video, this has been very good and informational. I have just purchased a palomino maverick for 800 bucks,, and it has almost identical damage in all the same spots as you showed, and I think I can handle doing nearly all the same repairs that you have done, fingers crossed. The major difference is that I need to replace both side panels on the front cap. I see where you had mentioned you replaced one of them, but never could find how it was done. Mainly how to peel back the Filon material and reattach to the new, or do I need to remove the entire side of Filon front to back, since the whole side is one piece. Thanks again, great videos.
I did the rear side skirts on both sides of my camper but not the front sides of the cabover. James over at AZ Expert has a great video on cabover sidewall delamination repair. Here’s the video: ua-cam.com/video/7l0JMVbBetA/v-deo.html
Nice job! Do you have any delamination on sides of camper? Mine has and i plan on fixing the delam before installing new roof. Great tip on the cleaning up of metal pieces..
Yep, some delamination on both sides and the rear wall. That low quality 3-ply luan substrate these manufacturers used (and some still use) was made with non-waterproof adhesives. Any moisture from condensation or a leak and it lets go. I’ve peeled the fiberglass back in some areas for re-adhesion using better water resistance adhesive.
Hey Jeff when you installed the new clearance lights on your project how did you water prof the new light.Did you you use butyl tape and silicone the edge or some other way. I am replacing mine with the same lights and since the new ones are totally different and sealed, I thought about sealing the screws and a perimeter seal, period. Throw me your approach please.
I used OSI Quad Max behind to seal the wires/hole and around the light perimeter. I dipped the screws in sealant before fastening them down. Just check the lenses often for cracks.
Some people advise leaving the bottom of the fixture unsealed to allow for drainage. I seal the entire fixture perimeter because when driving, water can push its way up into the bottom of an unsealed fixture.
Yeah, I mentioned in the video that the installation/application process for each type of substrate is on the crazy-seal website. It is very difficult to get video of the process as I do all of this myself.
Awesome videos, which is why you putting the playlist BACKWARDS is a bummer!😮. Watched the slide repair series anyway. Thanks!
Nice thanks for taking the time i using the crazy seal on my RV its older 96 MA but in fair condition but replacing the Rubber is a real pain and as you know alot of upkeep .
You did a great job!! I just wished you had showed more on how to physically use each product.. And what to use to apply it.
Thank~you🌻
great job. thank you for sharing this video. very helpful.

Those LED lights look so bright! I’m gonna have to upgrade
Very nicely done.
Thanks for the great videos and tips love the old IH scout in the back ground
👍🏻
Now you have time to work on mine some more when I get back from Mexico.
Hope you’re doing well and having fun in Mexico.
Cold beer time!..Thanks for sharing!
Hi I agree, under 1 condition NO DRINKING AND DRIVING.
Coming together good, our 2006 Lance 851, has a white roof, and stays cool, 👍🏼🇺🇸
It’s amazing how much cooler this roof stays. It’ll be interesting to see how it does this summer in 110° heat
Impressive job on a real beauty. Congratulation!
Thank you, great video
Great job!! It sure saves money to be handy like that. I’d like a follow up video next summer also. Cheers! ~M

Great job. 👍 Learned some new tricks from the pro! Definitely will be looking into crazy seal hope your an affiliate.

Great job, enjoyed the process with you. How about a follow up in 6
Months and see how it’s performing. Enjoy!
Definitely will be a follow up.
How is your roof holding up today, since you posted this video?
Awesome job, interested to see how the a/c works, in Texas I can tell it would for sure be a no go. High altitude might work though.
