Who are we?
We’re Victoria & Craig, a full-time travel couple currently living the RV lifestyle! In 2021, we realized life was too short to wait to chase our dreams, so we purchased a used fifth wheel camper and completely renovated it. After selling our house in Florida, we set off on our journey as full-time RVers. Full time RV living has taken us across the United States, Baja Mexico, and Canada, where we’ve fallen in love with boondocking in stunning locations and living an epic adventure travel lifestyle. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100.
Join us as we explore new destinations and embark on new adventures. From hiking, rock climbing, and paddle boarding to surfing, off-road exploring, and cooking around a campfire, we live our travel couple lifestyle to the fullest!

Clean the area with a good RV roof cleaner and use Eternabond Tape to seal it. The Eternabond tape will outlive the roof in most cases.

@wildrvlife Год назад

Yes! That’s exactly what we did. It definitely seems solid for now. It is on the edge so we’re keeping an eye on it

@mischiefroadtripadventures Год назад

@@wildrvlifeIt will be fine! Some people will edge their entire roof with Eternabond. It could have been much worse. We had 25 feet rip along the edge in a storm and then had to dry it off the next morning and use Eternabond to secure and seal it. As small as your tear, you can leave it with the Eternabond and will have no trouble.

Thank stuff is AMAZING! I did emergency patched on my roof with Eternabond tape two years ago and it still looks and holds like the first day I installed it.

@jessboyle8669 8 месяцев назад

My "bride" of 41 years and I have been camping ever since we got married. Started with a pickup box shell, to a popup, travel trailers and then fifth wheels. We are now on our 7th camper. We consider ourselves pros by now, and yet we still have an "oops" now and then. We have learned over the years, just like our partnership in marriage, that when "stuff" happens to the camper we take it on as a team, just like you two do. If nothing else mishaps make for great campfire stories... As others below have said, don't beat yourself up for things that can be fixed. And Eternabond Tape is your friend and will last for years. How great it is for you at such a young age to follow you dreams and passions to be on the road together and making fantastic memories. My hats off to you both!!

@chrisschiel6741 Год назад

Cut the rough edges and put eternabond tape on it and don't worry yourself. It will last longer than your roof material

@philiplucarelli7576 5 месяцев назад

Just a bit of advice, I have been driving tractor trailers for over 32 years. In watching your videos I have noticed you seem to stay in your lane when making turns. First always look ahead and be safe, and you can approach your turns and make a much wider turn. It's OK if you safely get into the other lane and make a much wider turn. You will be surprised by how much easier it is. Be safe.

@anthonystanley7132 Год назад

We did the exact same thing. I repaired with eternabond tape and we are going on two years without any issues.I do check it on a regular basis with no problems.

@wildrvlife Год назад

Oh good to know that the Eternabond has lasted so long! I know it’s supposed to but like to hear proof of it 😅

@tamathagallegos9790 11 месяцев назад

@RACA040404 11 месяцев назад

Please don't be too hard on yourselves! My husband and I know the feeling when we jackknifed our new super with our enclosed trailer. It sucks but it can be repaired and turn into a memory. So greetings from us, fellow full-time travelers.

@user-sz5qx8il7c Год назад

We had the same thing happen to our rv except it happened in a rv park where branches weren’t trimmed well. We used roofing eternabond tape and it lasted for years. We really enjoy watching your videos. It is a highlight of our week.

@wildrvlife Год назад

That’s what we have on it now! I think it will be good for a while but we’re thinking we might want to fully replace it at some point just to be sure. And thank you so much!!

@lindapatterson3491 Год назад

As everyone else has told you. Eternabond tape and 90% isopropyl alcohol to clean the area. Be sure to allow the alcohol to flash off and you'll be golden for years. You'll find the eternabond at a commercial roofing supply dealer. Always have a roll in a travel bag. Safe travels you two. Keep it between the lines and grounded.

@louissantoscoy6461 Год назад

If you want to conserve on the black tank when boondocking consider what we have done for years. We usually stay at our spot for 2-3 weeks. It may be gross to some, but it is what it is. We urinate in one of those his and hers plastic bottles found on Amazon. At some point we wander in the woods and away from our neighbor's we dump it. You will be surprised how much it cuts down on the black tank from filling. We also have a small bucket in the shower and catch the excess water when bringing the water up to temp. We then use this water for flushing the toilet when needed.

@rollingwiththebolings Год назад

My husband says that people definitely should be wearing shoes while driving in case of emergency. We were in a similar situation last week where branches scratched the top and sides of our trailer. We had to get on the roof while the branches were stuck in the solar panels. It was so nerve racking wondering what damage was done. I guess we need to carry a polesaw with us. Hope your roof can be fixed easily. Thanks for sharing your videos. We watch every week and follow you on Instagram.

@wildrvlife Год назад

Aww so sorry that happened to you guys too! The branches can be deceiving sometimes in terms of how low or far they actually stick out!

@carlasmith1786 Год назад

Well, this confirms for us to take some of our lawn tools with us; even considering weight. We recently found you guys and are enjoying your material. We are preparing for full-time RV 5th wheel living in retirement this next year. 😊 Thanks for all of your advice.

@timf6916 Год назад

NO DEAL, like everyone is saying. THAT IS A EASY fix. I did that on my other RV, I did the tape. IT LASTED 5 years till sold it. And it still look ok. The new buyer said it was good to him, he was going to put some free-floating RV sealant on it. Good to go. And I don’t think your insurance company will do a new roof for that.

@wildrvlife Год назад

Yep, we will probably leave e it with the tape for a while.

That kind of mishap can happen anywhere, not just on boondocking sites. Chin up!! Looking forward to your next video :)

We definitely understand. Pulled in a campground a few months ago with our 22 Montana and didn't see a limb and did the same thing. Our tear was more on top. Called our Progressive claims department. We took it to Affinity RV Group in Goshen, Indiana where the adjuster came and worked with them on the estimate and repair. 3 days in and out for a brand new roof that actually looked better than the original. They are the BEST in the country at repairs. If insurance pays for the roof it should cover the cost of them removing and replacing the panels. Ps, im Wendy's husband that won the giveaway!! Thank you guys

Literally…only 5 miles away from the dealer, a car drove into us. We were going 55mph…still accelerating from the on ramp. Then….Boom! Most importantly, No one was hurt! Now we wait…. And wait for our new adventure to be repaired and we can start all over! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@larryk3986 Год назад

Eternabond Tape is your best friend. I drove too close to our house roof line and caught the awning and along with damaging the awning frame, we have small dents in the siding of the RV. Almost broke a window in the house. Repaired the awning (sort of) frame and used Eternabond on the fabric. Doesn't look the best, but it works. Yay, fun times.

Sorry about your roof damage. Eternabond and sealed with Dicor no-sag should create a good repair. If you decide to replace the membrane, you might look at RV Armor. They advertise that they will come to you (not in the woods, perhaps) and will take off and reinstall all roof components. I don’t have personal experience with them, but there are plenty of reviews and RU-vid videos.

It happens! In 2021 we bought our Jayco 25RB. The very 1st time we were going to take it out camping; my husband couldn't wait for me to move one of our vehicles over to the other side of our driveway. Being impatient...He pulled the trailer down the driveway without me spotting him. As soon as he started down the driveway I heard a weird noise. It happened to be the trailer awning being scraped from the side of our garage. Then he still kept going because he didn't see or hear me screaming at him to STOP. He tore the membrane of our Brand New Trailer approximately 8 inches long. To make things short...we took it to the dealership & they put the Eternabode tape over the membrane & told us it would be months before it could get fixed. In October 2021, we took it to Overla Trailer Repair in Howard City, MI & they replaced the roof. Thank goodness the insurance covered the cost; except the insurance deductible. Just saying....It Happens!

Eternabond can be a PERMANENT repair for something like that! If you're nervous about that, edge it off with a coat of a good rubber roof sealant for good measure. Give the area a good scrubbing with rubbing alcohol to clean and dry it off beforehand. You will be happy with the results.

Dude I did the same thing. Momentum 395 43’ fifth. Was in a parking lot parking to eat lunch and wasn’t paying attention. Hit a tree and ripped the front corner. I used eternabond tape to repair yes I know I need to replace the roof and I will but that tape is really good stuff and for the moment I’m not worried about it. It sucks but it is what it is.

Eternabond! I’m sure this will happen again so hold off on a roof replacement. If you all are going to boondock a lot that RV will be taking a beating. I never would have got a new rig to boon dock in but that’s me. A rig like that should just be going to parks. But good luck, love the 5th wheel.
