Camco Cyclone RV Sewer Vent Cover Install 

Thank you so much for the kind words and the support. Congrats on the new trailer.

butyl putty will work but latex plumbers putty will not adhere to epdm rubber it may stick to tpo, but epdm is very specific as to types of sealers that can be used

Thanks for the support. Much appreciated.

I appreciate your feedback I have had RV’s for 12 years. I have always done my roof repairs in that fashion with never any problems. Not sure if you have been using Dicor self leveling sealant or regular caulk but the Dicor is extremely tacky and sticky. It is nearly impossible to remove when set up. Unlike standard caulk which I do not recommend using as it is prone to drying out and losing its elasticity over time and UV exposure. Once again thanks for the comment and concern. I hope you are enjoying your new RV.

I'm doing my 1st repair like this one this weekend. And I'm just soaking up all the info I can. I'm a big time perfectionist. It must be perfect or I start over. Some friends I have that are seasoned campers of over 40 years tell me clean surface is key. They use mineral spirits to clean the surface. Before they reinstall anything on an rv roof. There rv is an 89 model in perfect shape. They bought new in 89. They say the piece you have there has moving parts. And more things to go wrong. And not to use it. So I'm going back with what I have. Cool video though.

Cool. It sounds like you’ve done your research. I don’t doubt it would adhere a bit better to a clean surface. I hope the repair goes well and thanks again for your comments. Your doing all the right things by being proactive on maintenance. All too often people neglect them, I like to describe them as cheaply built homes that go through an earthquake every time you use them. Have a great day and safe travels.

I have not noticed it making noise. It has been pretty quiet.

Rain would be very difficult to get in I suppose there is a chance bugs could get in. But have never noticed any bugs ever in our tanks.

Yes it is. It is the air vent for the black and gray tank.

@@NorthwestRVTours well darn. My husband and I can’t figure out why we smell poop smell outside even when the basement doors are closed. We have cleaned the black tank out with enzymes and it just reeks.

Do you keep water in the tank? I typically keep around 10-20% of water in the black tank to help things stay broken down. Another thing you can try is borax and powdered laundry detergent and fill the black tank up with water and let it soak. I have had good luck with this in the past to help break down and help clean the tank.

@@NorthwestRVTours . I might add we have a vacuum pump system however it has no leaks. Today we used a digester to break stuff down and left it filled up to soak overnight. My husband did notice a little wetness from the drainpipe that fed in to the top of the black tank. We don’t know if the smell is seeping out there or if we have stuck crap in the tank.

@@rebelgurl7948 hard to say. I hope it gets fixed. Good luck.

Yes that’s correct. Drilling through both pipes

Thanks for your input. As I am sure you know the sealant never fully hardens and continues to become thinner. It is quite a bit of work to remove the old sealant and I have found it is easier to just go over the old sealant with new as it still provides some protection. Thanks for the comment and safe travels.
