Metal Roofs for RVs Need Care

While metal roofs for RVs may seem impervious to water intrusion, they are not. In the right conditions and with enough time a metal roof will begin to rust at the seams that connect the roof to other metal sections around the body. Another prime area for water intrusion are the joints that connect appliances, vents, antennas and such to the roof. These photos show water intrusion that rusted the seams of metal roofs on a couple RVs that we recently worked on. We carefully removed all rust and old sealant, and then resealed the metal seams and applied sealant around all attachments connected to the roof.

A Hydralift System for a Diesel-pusher

A short bit ago we installed a Hydralift system for this beautiful diesel-pusher. We’ve been installing lift systems onto motorhomes for many years, and highly recommend Hydralift. It’s a solid, heavy duty and well built lift system that can easily lift and carry heavy motorcycles such as a fully dressed Harley Davidson.

It should be ready for the owner to pickup and hit the road for another fun outing this Friday.

Fixing Truck Camper Lift Jack, Nearly Ripped Off.

This week we got the Truck Camper (see previous post) ready for repair by removing all broken material to reveal how extensive the damage may be. We found some water intrusion damage around the corner where the Camper Lift Jack attaches. We decided to create a fix that is better than factory made by welding up an aluminum frame and building it into the corner. That way the Camper Lift Jack will be more solid than the original. After we attach the siding, trim, the jack, and seal all the joints everything will look great, function properly and be ready for another fun adventure.
