Re-built and Relaminated rear wall on Jayco super lite 

We try to salvage the siding because a new piece would stick out like a sore thumb and wherever the customer goes with this coach everyone will be asking ... What happened?? That gets to be annoying. Also is keeps red flags down if folks decide to sell the coach. Thanks for watching.

@RVROOFINSTALL you sound like Hank Hill when you laugh especially at 5:24

@JeffinTD if thr Filon isn't wrinkled or creased real badly, it can be reused. Takes time to clean it up. Trying to remove some of the Luan iff the back is a rest of skill to not rip the Filon. Thanks for watching

I don't own one either... Lol .. hmmmmm???? Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Well now you got one finished you can enjoy... Glass half full! Thanks for watching.

Good luck with the warranty....in your owners manual it will stipulate YOU need to slather more caulk on the vents, , skylight ladder etc. More on, more on more on....lol. welcome the the RV world. I don't own one! Thanks for watching.

Absolutely not built to last it is ridiculous and will always leak somewhere constant maintenance press board gets any water it has to be replaced all in all I’ve experienced that everything from the drawers to the floor just disintegrate. Very unhappy with the costly repair work and unprofessional workmanship

Fern Dog, do your own caulking/sealing. I recommend OSI quad max. If you want water clean up, go with DAP Dynaflex. For roofing, nothing beats Eternabond with Premium Pro sealant on tbe edges. Dealers or factories will just use the same garbage that failed already.

Thank you. We are a professional shop doing what folks entrusted us to do. They come a long ong way because they trust we will do the job correctly and we will. We are honored that folks come as far and have the trust they do. I see many YT videos giving tips and installation advise which is going to fail and yet the average person would not know this. Scroll down and read the comments of those videos, and people are raving with compliments. Our channel on is geared to educating viewrs and so the customer can see all the work that went into their rebuild. Thank you for watching.

Don't be deceived..I have not seen a coach with Azdel on the side. Only the back and do front. Don't ever believe a salesperson. There are a couple of Hideouts on the channel with Azdel walls. Watch them..

@jerrytalley802 Everything the rv industry had told you about maintenance is a lie ! Thanks for watching.

Did you get your fixed. My 14 chaparral has it now.

Mine was $4000..

@jerrytalley802 I don't know the year. I'd have to surf through work orders to find out. The issue with aluminum siding is making sure it's sealed well, especially vertically in the corners. We use big stretch by sashco. Don't us silicone on anything. Thanks for watching.

Depending on the job we will let the customer handle what they can to save them some money. Thanks for watching!

We got a new 2019 Jayco needing a roof and Jayco will barely pay half the cost. They are trying to force her to go to a dealer. I'll be doing a great review on that for sure. Thanks for watching!

I was impressed with my buddy’s, until a cabinet door hit the ceiling and we realized the roof was sagging around the AC…

Where did you buy the 06 StarCraft? Individual or a dealer?

@jerrytalley802 we made sure the foam was dried out thoroughly. Watrr finds it own way. Some are rotted crazy bad, some we can salvage. A lot of time, we skin the interior, which was tonthe paper and glues that dame paper back to the new one with a clothes iron and adhesive so it looks original. Sometimes, we can't. Thanks for watching.

Eating them raw is a native crunch...lol. Thanks for watching.

We trade with a local distributor here in Chattanooga. Most of the products can be purchased at your local commercial roofing supply. Thanks for watching!

Thanks !! Keep watching

Any commercial membrane lap sealant would work better than Dicor. EPDM membranes...rubber...use lap sealants. You can buy them at any commercial roofing supply house. You should be able to go over the Dicor with it, but do one and see to make sure. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching

You can use 3m90. I will be ready to adhere in a few minutes. If you touch it and it's a tad tacky....you're ready to go.

@@thebluetravelers7544 we don't sell anything. We do not sell roofing, caulking....all our curbs, boots and accessories are proprietary to us. Everything is custom fabricated for it's application. We absolutely appreciate you watching the videos, however they were never intended to be a DIY video. We do not want to be responsible for improper application or installation. Thanks for watching!

Off the shelf silicone won't work well. I would suggest using OSI quad you can find that at Home Depot, Lowe's. Use a scrub brush to ensure all the filth is removed then apply. A mild cleaner should get it clean enough...soapy water will work too. Make sure it is dry before applying. We appreciate you anticipating coming in for us to do the roof work. We book out fast. We are tentatively booking for late Aug, Sept. Just keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!

They're all the same. Literally. I don't own one. ...lol. Thanks for watching

So depressing u buy these for so much $ and they end up rotted delaminated rotted floors

@@RVROOFINSTALL IF you were going to buy one, old or new, what would you buy? What manufacturer do you work on less than others. I've been told since covid, they are pushing TT out the door so fast, as are the dealers, no one cares they are falling apart. Do you get fewer older aluminum "stick n tin"? I don't own one but I'm pondering......

@@cynthiapanter6808 if I were to buy one I would opt for an older one ... 2006 or older with Filon siding not aluminum. They were built better before the recession. Once they learned how much they could save on cutting corners they stayed the course and got worse. Just watched a video on how keystone is making travel trailers lighter by using a thinner frame... the frame will buckle and fail at the hitch. The only camper I have not worked on is an airstream. If you buy a motor home you will need to tow a car because when you hook up and decide you need to go somewhere you will need to break down your electric and sewer to travel to come back and hook up again. Class Cs are known for bunk leaks . Class A are very big and gas hogs. I would like to have a basic camper bumper pull with no frills or unnecessary electronics. Eventually I will build one.

@@RVROOFINSTALL When you do, we would all love to see it come together. I will start looking. Oak Ridge is close enough you can fix it if it needs repair! Thanks!

Depending on how bad it is delamed you could take out windows, doors lights to get behind it and epoxy it back. Sometimes you have to cut the siding, make repairs and re-adhere the siding which will require some sort of bodywork or creative thinking to conceal the cut. The very first step is knowing where the leak source is and have that corrected as you go about the repair. No sense fixing the damage if the leak source will ruin it again. Thanks for watching!

Never mind, hahaha. I did a little reading down in the comments and got it figured. Thank you anyway and keep up the good work!!

You're not understanding RV manufacturer mindset....Get it built, Get it out, Get it sold!. Thanks for watching. Hit the like.

Lol. No just glue or caulk. Thanks for watching.

You do realize we are an RV shop and not a videography company?? We will work on camera skills. Thank you

Yes.

​@RV ROOF INSTALL how well does the adhesive hold up?

It will eat it up. It's a solvent propelled product that will degregate the polystyrene foam. Need to find something compatible that will hold up.

Commercial roofing manufacturers use a lap sealant for EPDM rubber. You can get that at any commercial roof supply store. Thanks for watching. Smash the like button.

Dicor roofing is manufactured by Carlisle Syntec, very large company. Carlisle manufactures commercial grade roofing membrane and they so have there own kap sealant. Any commercial grade lap sealant will work better than Dicor. Your local commercial roofing supply house should have it Thanks for watching.

No I do not own one.

@@RVROOFINSTALL sorry confused you with rv daydream guy. again i am sory.

Filon is glued to Luan...usually 2.7mm. 3m90 spray is the adhesive. Thanks for watching!

@@RVROOFINSTALL thank you for your reply and happy new year from Ireland

@@georgebush2798 Happy New year! 3m90 is a spray adhesive in a can, like spray paint.

Sometimes the spray can not reach, or the delam is worse. Pouring the epoxy will allow you to have gravity help. The objective is to adhere all the plys together, adhere the foam and/ or the filon to the plys. Thanks for watching.

Use Carlisle's EPDM lap sealant.

Stainless bare sifter than the zinc. Tend to break the screw heads...but we do appreciate your attention detail. Well aware of the galvanation process, however there shouldn't be any moisture issues if the roof is sealed. Thanks for watching.

@@RVROOFINSTALL isn't there always going to be moisture in the trim? It seems like every screw I've seen in these videos are rusted and often near failure, as you have said, you know about electrolytic transfer, and it seems marine and even commercial construction uses SS... IMO, steel, zinc plated or not, is part of the process leading to delam failures. Also the application of trim doesn't seem to be structural enough to snap the heads of SS (unless they are being torqued to much on install). Thanks for the vids and the thoughtful response.

@@berthaduniverse we seal every screw...every screw! If you were to remove the vinyl trim you would see every screw with a caulk grommet around the head. I would agree with the torque issue but most guys I come across have no knowledge of torquing, so I am forced to stupifying the process...lol. I have some SS screws in stock but you would be forced to pilot out every screw hole...then I got guys breaking small drill bits. It is extremely hard to find qualified help that has an understanding of the tasks you'd expect them to know. Needless to say...I have gone through a slew of morons... lol

@@RVROOFINSTALL quiz test for all new hires: give em a box of assorted driver bits and see if they can ID them. Most millennials can't tell a torx from a flat blade.

@@RVROOFINSTALL I don't understand your answer. You don't like Dicor so get a different Dicor lap sealant? Can you be more specific? Seems like everybody in RU-vid uses Dicor so just wondering.

@@vigilantezack the Dicor roof membrane no is made by Carlisle, not the cheap Dicor caulk. Carlisle has a commercial EPDM lap sealant. Dicor gets there membrane from Carlisle. The Dicor caulk they get from someone else. Does the help to clarify?

That is a floor roller. You can get them at Home Depot in the flooring dpmt. Maily used to roll the edges of linoleum flooring down tight. Thanks for watching.

Lol,.yes there was a portion used for the ladder. I should've said I don't know why they used such a large piece. Manufactures cut cost everywhere. That piece was unusually large for its purpose. So it throws a flag ....didn't have a dual purpose? Morning this case. Thanks for watching!

Sand it, scrape it. It will be time consuming. Thanks for watching.

If it is going to rain then out the luan side down on your lawn so the water will help release it. Less scraping. Be careful not to bite too much because you risk splitting into the Filon. Just take a little nibbles. Option B....buy a new piece, but you would have to re-decal. Unless you opt to not decal. Good luck and take your time.

Tools?? I'm not following your request.

Any product that requires to be reapplied as Dicor does, every 3 to 4 months can't be very good quality , can it? I don't know the actual chemical compounds in Dicor, but it seems to be a butyl acrylic blend. When the acrylic fractures and cracks it leaves a path for the sun's UV Ray's to break down the butyl.

@@RVROOFINSTALL What product do you suggest?

@RV ROOF INSTALL I would also like to know what product you would suggest.

@@dreday1332 Dicor is a buytl latex /acrylic mix from what I can see. I don't have the chemical compounds but that's what it appears to be. Anyway the product has no UV resistance for long term that's why it fails in 3 months or so. It's their cash cow...getting folks to spend $12 a tube needing about 5 tubes per nor more. They know it fails. If they care they would reformulate the product to last. In 35 years of doing commercial roof systems Dicor is the only product I have known to fail like it does despite being marketed for exterior use. We use M1 by Chemlink. Thanks for watching!

RV ROOF INSTALL how frequently would you suggest reapplying or ensuring no failures for this product?

Red 3M94. Thanks for watching.

Would Weldwood work just as good?

@@donalddeamer1538 I don't know. You'd have to read the tech data sheet for weldwood.

RV ROOF INSTALL what do u use under the outside corner strips and other moldings other than the rolled up stuff? Thanks for your input!!!!

@@donalddeamer1538 we use M1 by chemlink.

Not familiar with flashhold. We use 94, 90 will work

RV ROOF INSTALL hmm the foam looking adhesive your putting on is coming from a large canister per 3m fasthold 70 is recommended for rv’s bonding and lamination with a fast hold. I just want to make sure I’m using the right stuff to glue my outter walls so they don’t fall off!

@@RiseAboveElevation 3m has quite a few adhesives and I buy the ones that will work in multiple applications. If it says it recommended...use it.

RV ROOF INSTALL 3m 94ca comes in the large canister like what you use and 3m70,

@@RiseAboveElevation not sure how much you have to do but Home Depot sells it in rattle cans. Adhesives come in strength some are commercial strength and we use industrial strength. That why there are a slew of numbers for the adhesive. The big cylinders we use will run upwards to 500 with shipping.

What plastic are you referring to? The outside is fine fiberglass. You can fillet it from the plywood.

@@RVROOFINSTALL thanks for the answer. yes outdoor fiberglass. when I separated it from the wall, old plywood remained on it. I took the portable planer and clean off it. and how are you doing?

3m90 should work. Thanks for wàtching.

Should work..... that was the mentality when they built the pos. 3m. Vhb tape is the only way these campers/rv should be built, and aluminum. Just saying,😉

M1 by Chemlink

RV ROOF INSTALL is this stuff self leveling

@@markbeaulieu8004 No, M1 is not self leveling. You don't need self leveling.

A rip-off?? M1 by chemlink is $19/tube. My Dicor is less than that. How ya figure?

They're all the same. Thanks for watching!

RV ROOF INSTALL, let’s agree to disagree. Which make do you see less in you’re shop?

@@opinionmatters7119 we have never worked on an Airstream canned ham. That's the only ones.

We have a Holiday Rambler Alumilite (1996). No leak issues. All aluminium frame. I watched bid to see about caulking. On a prior traier, I used a Loktite Marine caulk designated for through the hull fittings both above and below the waterline. I figured "that ought to keep rain out" and it worked fine for the last three years I had that trailer.

Make that "watched vid". And "prior trailer". Sorry for not proofreading.

We just show what we can when we can. Sorry. But we don't really have time for all that video stuff, we do good to get the video done. They were intended for the customer to see all the work we did and damages, not really meant to create a massive RU-vid channel. Thanks for watching just the same.

The ROOFING material is warranties for whatever years. You'd have to show the roofing material itself had failed. Usually it doesn't, it's the detail that fails...ie...vents, skylights plumbing etc. That cause the leaks. They know this. If people stopped buying a camper even for 1 month...30 days...across the country they'd get the message. Someone needs tonsetbthat up on a social media thing. Just 30 day boycott. Thanks for watching.

They get sued everyday. But they still make money because people buy them. Don't buy a new coach. It's that simple. They'll get the idea when they still sit on the lot. Thanks for watching.
