yeah i got this. Hello folks! John Goldstein here, president of Leisure Coachworks. Going
to take a few minutes of your time, going to save you a ton of trouble, and it all starts with just
a little crack. What a little crack? Little crack here, little crack around the window,
little crack around your awning, little crack on your roof. Without the proper seal,
can turn into a big problem real quick. Let's take a look at each different product and the different
applications for each one. Right here is the most common products that we have on our shelves to
deal with all the different types of cracks. First thing you want to do is start with a clean surface
with a basic auto prep (Nason 481-75 auto cleaner) to remove all the debris and the oil. Next you
want to make sure that you're using the correct seal in the correct spot. This RTV silicone
sealant is used around most exterior windows, not the windshields but windows. This ProFlex
clear sealant is designed to go around all of the exterior on a painted coach so that way whatever
color is behind it can be seen through the seal. This Sycaflex 221 that's white, is designed to
be used on exteriors that are white, and you can use them around the whole entire coach.
This is an Alpha sealant that's designed to use on a TPO rubber roof. This is an Xtrm
self-leveling sealant designed to use on PVC roofs and this sealant is a Dicor product,
that's designed to be used on Dicor, EPDM or TPO roofs and a couple other variables.
Water causes more damage to RVs on a daily basis than all the accidents that are out there,
because it happens and it happens quickly and a lot of the times all it takes is you need to
know what to look for and how often to check. Let me show you why. Right here we have a sealed void
from the roof to the wall molding. You can see this screw is starting to rust and these
this screw is rusted as well, and there's no seal around this one. This is all going to let water
in the wall and can start to delaminate right here. So you want to make sure that whatever type
of roof you have to this type of molding is the proper sealant that you use. And you might need
to use a different sealant over here. If you have the same type of a crack on a front cap to a roof,
you might want to go with our Leisure Coachworks tape. You clean the surface,
you put it on both sides and it'll allow everything to flex and it'll be less likely to
crack. One thing to note, is not all windows are completely sealed all the way around.
This unit is only sealed on the top and it comes a little bit down. Here are some examples of what
happens if you miss that little seal and it turns catastrophic. So most important thing,
twice a year, walk your coach, spend 10 to 15 minutes looking at the front cap, looking at the
rear cap, looking at the windows, looking at every area where you have a penetration or a transition
to keep that seal weather tight. Use the right one. Most important thing is to seal over. Even
if it looks funky to keep that water out and if you're not happy with how it looks, bring
it down we'll make it look good. Like, follow and subscribe to see more updates and more projects.
