RV and Camper Repair
Your RV or camper's structural integrity is crucial for a safe and enjoyable travel experience. While the roof is a critical component, it's essential to maintain all aspects of your vehicle's structure, including floors, walls, and ceilings. Neglecting any of these areas could lead to significant damage and costly repairs.
Roof Maintenance & Repair
The roof is one of the most vulnerable parts of your RV or camper. Regular maintenance is vital to prevent water damage and extend the life of your vehicle.
Rubber Roofs (EPDM or TPO): These require more frequent care. Clean 3-4 times per year.
Fiberglass Roofs: Clean regularly and apply wax treatment annually for UV protection.
Aluminum Roofs: Require the least maintenance but should be kept clean and inspected regularly.
Regardless of roof type, inspect and re-caulk areas annually to maintain water-tightness

Floor, Wall, and Ceiling Care
While often overlooked, these areas are equally important:
Floors: Check for soft spots, which may indicate water damage or structural issues.
Walls: Inspect for signs of water stains, bubbling, or warping.
Ceilings: Look for discoloration or sagging, which could indicate roof leaks.
Regular Inspections
Conduct visual inspections of your entire RV or camper at least once a year. Look for:
1. Cracks or leaks in the roof, walls, and around windows and doors
2. Peeling or worn caulking
3. Sagging or soft spots in the roof or floor
Early detection of issues can prevent more extensive and expensive repairs later.
Professional Maintenance
Consider having a professional inspect your RV or camper annually. They can:
1. Perform thorough checks of all structural components
2. Address minor issues before they become major problems
3. Conduct necessary repairs or replacements
Remember, proper maintenance of your RV or camper's
roof, floors, walls, and ceilings is crucial for preserving its value and ensuring your safety and comfort during travels.
