Most RV manufacturers recommend inspecting your roof sealants and seams every 90 days. Performing regular checks and resealing as needed can help prevent costly RV roof repairs down the road.
One of the most important components of RV roof maintenance is checking lap sealants and Eternabond tape. These materials play a critical role in protecting your investment by ensuring a watertight seal around all roof penetrations and edges.
Lap sealant is specifically designed to seal joints, seams, and openings in your RV’s roof system. It comes in various consistencies, but manufacturers typically use a white, self-leveling formula for most roof applications. Keeping this material in good shape helps maintain the overall integrity of your roof and prevents water intrusion.

- Perform roof inspection to check for sun damage or aged items that need to be replaced prior to service.
- Remove old sealant (as needed) to prep following areas for resealing: Front and rear moldings, ceiling roof vents, skylight, refrigerator vent, plumbing vents, TV and radio antenna, satellite dish, solar mounts, ladder stations and side seams.
- Service Includes: 16 tubes of self-leveling sealant, 2 tubes non-sag sealant, solvent cleaners, and shop supplies. (Additional charge for sealants as needed.)
A follow-up inspection is required within 90-days of the completed service. At that time, a free inspection will be performed. This is to ensure that the adhesives and sealants used in the reseal of your RV have remained in place from traveling, flex, vibration or hidden damage under moldings or joints. A no charge spot seal is included during this inspection if needed.
(AFTER 90 DAYS)
Exterior roof and sealants must be inspected and maintained every 90 days or as needed depending on weather conditions and usage. Even the finest materials will eventually dry out and lose their effectiveness. If any visible shrinkage, cracking or peeling, or any voids or missing sealant is evident, these areas must be resealed immediately to prevent damage. California RV Specialists is not responsible for inspection or spot seals after the 90-day in house warranty period.
