Exterior Body Reseal Benefits
Resealing your RV is essential to protecting your investment. By applying fresh caulking around trim, windows, and other critical seams, you create a watertight barrier that helps shield your unit from rain, dirt, dust, and other outdoor elements. Proper caulking not only prevents water intrusion but also minimizes the buildup of debris, helping to preserve both the interior and structural integrity of your RV.
Regular resealing is a simple yet powerful way to extend the life of your RV and avoid costly repairs down the road.
Protect Your RV with Proper Sealing and Maintenance
Moisture from rain, snow, condensation, or even routine washing can find its way into your RV if it’s not properly sealed. This intrusion can damage the structure and lead to dangerous mold and mildew growth. Signs of water damage may include stains on walls and carpet, but in many cases, the real danger—dry rot—remains hidden until it’s too late.
Caulking around key joints helps create a watertight seal, preventing water from seeping into cracks and crevices. Without proper sealing, water damage can quickly escalate into expensive repairs—or even total your RV.
In addition to moisture protection, proper caulking helps with insulation. Gaps around doors, windows, and wall seams can allow hot or cold air to escape, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work harder—especially if you live in your RV full time. This can lead to higher energy usage and reduced comfort.
Many manufacturers don’t fully seal every exterior seam during production—likely due to the time it takes. They often recommend that owners inspect and reseal as needed, with maintenance intervals ranging from every 30 to 90 days depending on usage and weather conditions.
That’s why we offer a free exterior evaluation and inspection of your RV’s body and roof sealants—to help catch issues early and protect your investment.

Insert Molding Replacement
Insert molding plays a crucial role in sealing and weatherproofing your RV. It helps keep moisture and outdoor elements out by covering and protecting the seams along the roof edges, body panels, and front and rear caps.
Over time, insert molding can crack, shrink, or loosen, allowing water to bypass the seal and seep into your RV. Once water gets past the screw cover, it can lead to serious problems—including rusted screws, mold growth, and dry rot—which can compromise both the structure and interior of your unit.
Regular inspection and replacement of worn or damaged insert molding is essential to maintaining a watertight seal and protecting your RV from costly repairs down the road.
