Protecting Your Investment: The Importance of Regular RV Roof Inspections

Your RV is more than just a vehicle; it's an investment in adventure, relaxation, and countless memories. To ensure your investment continues to provide you with joy and comfort, regular maintenance is key. One often overlooked aspect of RV maintenance is the roof.

The roof of your RV is the first line of defense against the elements. It shields you from rain, snow, UV rays, and more. But over time, it can become vulnerable to wear and tear, potentially leading to costly repairs if not properly maintained. Regular RV roof inspections are crucial to safeguard your investment, and if you're in Michigan, this is even more critical due to the state's unpredictable weather conditions.

Understanding the Importance of Roof Inspections

An RV's roof is exposed to a wide range of environmental factors, and Michigan's climate can be particularly challenging. The temperature fluctuations, heavy snowfall, and rain can all take a toll on your RV's roof. Here's why regular roof inspections are vital:

Preventing Leaks: A damaged roof is a prime entry point for water, leading to leaks and water damage inside your RV. In Michigan, where rain and snow are common, preventing leaks is essential.

Avoiding Costly Repairs: Neglecting your RV's roof can lead to extensive damage that is expensive to repair. Routine inspections can identify issues early, saving you money in the long run.

Prolonging the Lifespan: A well-maintained roof can extend the lifespan of your RV. You want your investment to last for years of adventures, and regular inspections play a role in achieving that goal.

Finding Reliable RV Roof Repair in Michigan

If you're an RV owner in Michigan, you're in luck. The state has a thriving community of RV enthusiasts and experts who can assist you with roof inspections and repairs. Here are some steps to find reliable RV roof repair services in Michigan:

Ask for Recommendations: Reach out to fellow RV owners or local RV clubs for recommendations. Word of mouth can be a great way to find trustworthy professionals.

Check Online Reviews: Websites and forums often have reviews from RV owners who have used local repair services. These can provide valuable insights into the quality of their work.

Contact Local Dealerships: RV dealerships often have service centers or can recommend reputable repair shops in the area.

Taking Matters into Your Own Hands

While professional roof inspections are crucial, you can also perform some basic inspections yourself between scheduled maintenance. Here's a simple checklist for DIY RV roof inspections:

Visually inspect the roof: Look for signs of damage, such as cracks, tears, or punctures.

Check seals and seams: Make sure all seals and seams are intact and free from cracks or separation.

Clean the roof: Regularly clean your RV's roof to remove dirt and debris that can lead to damage over time.

Inspect after storms: After particularly harsh weather, perform an inspection to catch any new damage promptly.

Conclusion

Regular RV roof inspections are essential for protecting your investment and ensuring your RV remains a source of joy and adventure for years to come. In Michigan, where the weather can be unpredictable, this maintenance is even more critical. Whether you choose to perform some inspections yourself or rely on professional services, safeguarding your RV's roof is a vital aspect of responsible RV ownership. So don't wait—schedule your next RV roof inspection in Michigan today and keep your investment safe and sound.

By prioritizing regular roof inspections and seeking reliable RV roof repair services in Michigan, you can protect your valuable investment and continue enjoying the freedom and adventure that RV ownership offers.

Y/N recently bought an old abandoned farm, the Afton Farmstead, to start a new adventure as independent farmer, wanting to leave zir old life behind zir.

When ze arrived to zir new property, ze heard a commotion at the old barn that is in need of repair, having a huge human-sized hole int he roof. With concern, ze rushed to investigate and saw that a few people, with the previous owner, was trying to clear away the vermin before Y/N arrived.

It turned out to be a pair of harpies that called this place home, trying to protect their nest of 2 eggs. A brilliant oranges and yellows hues egg that you could of wear shines like the sun. And an iridescent blues egg that seems to sparkle like the night sky. Y/N was amazed at the size of them, similar to 6 month old human baby, if zir were to guess.

Unfortunately, they managed to successfully killed the parents and was about to smash the eggs when Y/N intervene. Y/N told the previous owner to leave those eggs alone on the grounds that since these eggs are on zir property now, that ze owns those eggs and what them undamaged. Despite the protest from the others and the trade off that they get to keep the decease harpies, it was a good enough reason to leave the eggs alone.

(*note* harpies are considered protected creatures in this reality and so what these men did are illegal. Harpies are poached for their gorgeous feathers and the shells of the eggs.)

Y/N was relieved but felt great guilt and pity, decided to take to eggs to zir RV and keep them warm until ze decides what to do with them. Luckily ze happen to have a heating lamp and previous knowledge of tending to chicken eggs, so tending to harpy eggs should be the same thing, right? Zir were not planning on any type of animals until the barn was at least fixed up.

Let alone a pair of wild harpy chicks.

Wanted to try something different to gender neutral pronouns. So this Y/N does prefers "ze" "zir" "zirs" and "zirself". But otherwise really don't care what other people use since in zir mind, zir are all of the pronouns anyway. (Also I might miss the occasionally "he" and "she" during edits....I'm not a that good of a writer or too much patience for grammar checks...lol)

【☆】★【☆】

STAN (hatchet, or flamethrower. perhaps even a chainsaw) is definitely the leader of his motley crew, consisting of:

KYLE. He handles rations, fortifications. Constantly nagging on everyone. Also acts as a nurse. (Golf club, pistol, rifle.)

KENNY. He handles melee. His immortality curse also makes him a great scout. The only problem? He keeps waking up in random places- the curse can’t decide where “home” is when you’re a nomad. (Has a sword, for some reason. Is also proficient with a crossbow and sometimes a baseball bat.)

BUTTERS. He’s the scavenger. Quiet, small. Like a mouse. He can get in and out without setting off almost any alarm, thanks to sneaking out of his room his entire childhood. He also is great at electronics, surprisingly. Runs the radio updates for South Park. (Daggers, bows and arrows. Anything else is far too loud for his liking.)

Strangely enough, also joining Stan’s Gang is GREGORY (of Yardale) and THE MOLE.

Gregory drives the RV they’re all packed in. He and Mole used to live in an abandoned trainyard when Butters and Kenny found them. (He’s weird. He can use almost anything you equip him with.)

The Mole sneaks with Butters after joining the crew. The only thing is, when it’s people and not Zombies they’re stealing from, most people smell his cigarettes…. (Shovel. Need I say more?)

CRAIG leads his own gang, of course. (He uses a pistol, but mostly his spiked knuckles. He throws a mean punch.)

TWEEK of course is with him- handling wounds and any littles they have with them when their group holes up in the elementary school. (He prefers not to fight, but carries a concealed knife and a bow.)

TRICIA is there too. Craig would never leave her behind. She’s a whiz at repairing things. (She has a large wrench, and a set of throwing knives.)

Oddly, CARTMAN stays with them. He pulls his weight- underneath all that pudge is muscle- he was a wrestler. He mostly moves and carries things; great for scouting missions. (He, like Craig, prefers a good ol’ pair of knuckles on top of his fists. I can see him using a shotgun too.)

Yknow, it’s hard to see CLYDE as anything but the weaponsmaster here. He creates shivs, arrows, attaches nails to bats, and most importantly? Molotov cocktails. (Literally anything. He’s an absolute maniac when he fights, though, so they keep him away from guns.)

TOLKIEN would be there too, organizing jobs and helping with some hydraulics for farming on the roof. (He’d use a crowbar or a revolver. He’s a quickdraw.)

JIMMY helps Tweek care for the kids, while also helping to keep spirits high. (He cannot usually fight, but in special situations, Clyde attaches weights and spikes to his crutches.)

KAREN, IKE, and THE GOTHS actually found each other pretty easy. The trainyard, once Gregory and the Mole left, was really safe for them to move into.

Despite the Gunman, PETE’s protests, the VAMP KIDS were welcomed in.

HENRIETTA fashions armor. (She’s not a fighter in the slightest, but give her a gun and she’ll figure it out.)

MICHAEL, despite his limp, is fast on his feet. (He traded his cane for a much heavier one, going the blunt force route.)

FIRKLE is obsessed with knives. They won’t touch a gun, unless it’s to fix it for one of the others or scrap it for parts. (Knives- and fire.)

MIKE MAKOWSKI is a very comforting presence for Karen and Ike, becoming like their big brother and consistently attempting to fix the radio connection to get in contact with their brothers. (He’s a damn good axe user. Guitar or otherwise.)

ANNIE BARTLETT, who is probably the only other surviving vamp kid, is the muscle. She does the lifting and lots of the cleaning. (Fists fists fists. And feet- her massive steel toes make quick work at stomping heads.)

When little Karen, trained with a rifle, and expert swordsman Ike are picked up by their guilt-ridden brothers it’s a tearful goodbye. They visit frequently to bring extra supplies.

The train camp is actually the capital of New South Park. They set up a trade route thanks to the addition of the girls:

NICHOLE, an expert negotiator and teacher. (Baseball bat, and an antique musket.)

BEBE, who is a genius with inventions, actually, thanks to the help of WENDY. (Bebe uses primarily a formerly shiny, bedazzled baseball bat. Wendy is a silent sniper.)

And HEIDI and RED, an unstoppable duo who make the best food this side of Denver. (Heidi, a formerly peaceful soul, uses a metal pipe and a crossbow. Red is more of a guns-blazing girl, and was entrusted with a sawed-off shotgun and machete.)

All in all, Stan’s gang keeps traveling. They hope to find and bring back as much of civilization as they can. The trainyard and elementary eventually become one with Bebe and Wendy’s instructions of constructing a wall around the strip of road between the two. The whole area is safe and fortified.

Man's World - Part 5

Masterlist

I'm in a writing mood lately and I'm choosing not to question it. This is a bit of a filler chapter before the real action starts.

We walk toward the edge of camp, where trucks, buses, and shipping containers are arranged into a sort of perimeter wall. Most people at least nod to Miss Ally in greeting; the soldiers all greet her by name - most with the reverence with which they’d greet a military commander (the Boss).

The tents become sparser the further from the center of camp we move until we approach the double-ring of trucks, RVs, trailers, and shipping containers that mark the perimeter of camp - a makeshift wall for our little city, designed as much to keep August’s people in as it is to protect from outsiders.

There are gunmen on the roofs of some of the massive vehicles. Somewhere nearby, Depeche Mode is playing on a crank radio.

“Sy!” Miss Ally calls out as we approach a loose group of soldiers.

The biggest one turns our way. “Miss Ally.” He walks in our direction. He’s tall and muscular and has cropped brown hair and a vigorous beard. Judging by his bearing, he’s some hybrid of a football player, a Navy Seal, and a frat boy at an old Southern university.

As he comes closer, I think I recognize him, but I would have remembered someone looking like that. Probably some weird side effect of the concussion.

“Sy,” Miss Ally says again when he’s in front of us. Didn’t Stiva mention someone named Sy?

He pushes his sunglasses up, resting them on the top of his head. He looks even more familiar now. “Good morning, Miss Ally. What can I do for you?”

“I’d like you to put this young lady to work in one of the stock trucks.”

Sy crosses his arms over his chest as he takes stock of me. “You the one that shot at the Boss during the last raid?”

“Mm-hmm,” Miss Ally says.

Sy nods. “Good. Keep him on his toes.” He extends a large, rough hand. “Syverson.”

I take it and shake once before letting it drop. “Lilah.”

He turns and starts walking without giving me any warning first and I nearly have to run to catch up.

“You pregnant or something?” he asks once we’ve cleared the densest part of camp.

“What?”

“I’m trying to figure out why August hasn’t killed you, since you tried to kill him.” 

August, he said, not the Boss.

“I think he just wants to sleep with me.”

Syverson gives me a quick once-over. “That tracks.” 

It hits me then – who it is that he resembles.

“Are you and August related?”

Syverson glances at me again. “Cousins.”

It’s not that they look similar, exactly, though the likeness is uncanny - the only tangible differences that I can see are that Syverson is slightly more muscular and August’s hair is a little darker. Their demeanors are entirely different, enough that it counteracts the physical resemblance. 

I have the urge to explain all this to him, but an image of Jack’s bored, disinterested face flashes before me, and I decide against it.

We head to the outskirts of camp, where lorry trucks, RVs, U-Hauls, buses, campers, and even a handful of humvees have been arranged in a double-ring that encompasses the whole camp in a makeshift border wall designed as much to keep our people in as it is to keep strangers out.

Depeche Mode is playing from a crank radio beside one of the gunmen keeping watch atop a lorry. A couple of mechanics are cursing  as they attempt to repair a busted solar panel atop an RV. There are a few mean-looking dogs on chains scattered about. 

Syverson isn’t sure exactly what he wants me to do yet so he sort of just turns me loose. 

They don’t seem to mind me wandering between the vehicles and investigating what’s inside. School buses packed with books - school books in one, historical nonfiction in another. One of them is just for children’s books, stuffed with multiple copies of Bunnicula and Percy Jackson and even Twilight. 

There are a few “lady trucks” as the soldiers call them, packed with enough pads, tampons, and menstrual cups to last all the women in camp at least a year. It’s kind of nice, in a weird way, that they thought to stock up on period products. I doubt it was August’s idea, but the trucks’ very existence is proof that the powers that be do care about women’s wellbeing. Kind of. 

Guards linger near the more important vehicles, the ones that house “valuables,” which I assume means medical supplies and ammo and such. I don’t ask for details or to look inside; they’d say no if I did anyway. 

I’m poking around in a school bus that has coincidentally been turned into one of several makeshift libraries, when August Walker shows up.

“Bossman!” somebody calls, drawing everyone’s attention. The men all straighten up where they’re standing. They don’t salute as he walks past but they do dip their heads in respect as he goes by. Almost like bowing. Almost like he’s a king.

I hate how my heart thumps as he comes close enough for me to make out his features. I’m disgusted at his behavior this morning and for his general dickishness last night but Miss Ally is right. I’m attracted to him. There’s no use denying it.

Syverson steps closer to him and they start talking. I can’t hear very well but the gist of the conversation comes through. He wants to pack up camp by the end of the week. It’s time to move on.

I creep to the front of the bus toward the open door to so I can hear better while doing my best to stay out of sight.

“The place is dried up,” August says to Sy.

The others are listening like me but pretending that they aren’t – also like me. 

“We’ve gotten anything and anyone that could possibly be of use,” August continues. “We’ll do one last sweep through the suburbs tomorrow night.”

“How many guys do you want?” Sy asks.

“Five. It’ll just be escort duty while a couple of Miss Ally’s people poke around. I’ll lead myself.” And then he raises his obscenely large hand, finger pointed right at me though he doesn’t turn to look. “You’re coming too,” he tells me. 

Syverson looks my way, even though his cousin does not. He gives me another once-over.

“Me?” My voice is nightmarishly shrill. How the fuck did he even know I was here? Did he plant a tracker on me while I was asleep or something? “I’m – I won’t be of any use. I thought we established that.”

“You’ll have to earn your keep somehow,” August drawls. “You’ve chosen not to take advantage of the easier option, but if you change your mind, it’s still on the table.”

Syverson tamps down a smirk, raising his eyebrows as he turns to see my reaction.

I can feel my ears heating with the force of my anger. My first thought is, how can I inflict the same harm on him that he has inflicted on me? My second thought is how embarrassing this is for him to say in front of his men. And then I think that I hate all fucking men, but especially this one.

“You must be around a lot of women that will settle for substandard men,” I finally say.

I see eyes widening and smirks growing on the soldier’s faces but they keep trying to pretend that they aren’t listening – except for Sy, who grins and swivels back to his cousin to see his retort.

August is smirking slightly as I step out of the bus and start walking back towards the center of camp. As I brush by him, August murmurs, “If you want proof of what I can do, I’ve got no shortage of witnesses.”

That just pisses me off.

That night, I dream of August. Of myself in that other woman’s position. I wake up sweating and wet and frustrated with myself. How am I going to get through this supply run?

Camping is a lot of fun. You’ve got an excuse to drive very far away from a major city. That means there’s some fun roads, ideally unoccupied by log trucks wanting to re-enact your favourite Red Asphalts. When you get there, you can unload a bunch of cool gadgets from your car that you would otherwise never use. After that’s done, you can grill food, drink your libation of choice, and pass out in nature’s bathroom: nature.

There is an unnatural, devious plot to ruin camping, though. I refer to the RV campground near my house. When I first moved in here, the adjacent “communities” were basically disused industrial grounds. Long-shuttered factories, creepy warehouses, broken cranes collapsed through the rotten roof beams of a quonset or two. You know what I’m talking about. And it was fine for many, many years. Fine, that is, until someone with the ear of the mayor got a wild hair to “redevelop” the neighbourhood. Wouldn’t you know it: an RV campground is the perfect way to hoover money away from tourists without having to do an abatement of all that pesky creosote in the groundwater.

Now, we have campers right next to our houses, enjoying the great rustic surroundings of two Walmarts and a Dodge dealership. And even though the drunken late-night parties drown out the noise of my impact gun and power cursing at 3 in the morning, I would like to be able to leave my house without going 40 under the limit stuck behind a Jayco single-axle. I can’t even camp there: it’s RVs only, explain the bourgeois residents and security patrol. No “van lifers” allowed, they continue, a bit confused as they try to figure out whether or not my constantly-misfiring Suzuki Super Carry actually would qualify as a van, or alive.

For the time being, I have yet to determine an appropriately petty revenge on these individuals. However, the increased vehicle traffic has been phenomenal for the RV repair business that I run out of my driveway. You can do two or three wheel bearing jobs a week and ask however much money you want: it’s not like they can drive away if they don’t like it. For a couple extra bucks, I’ll even dump the greywater tanks on my neighbour’s petunias.

Thanks to having the best brother EVER, roughly a month ago I was finally able to get myself an RV. Before buying her, I was told that her generator needed a new fuel pump and that she had some previous water damage, but that they had resealed the roof so it wouldn’t be a continuing problem. Aside from that, she wasn’t supposed to have any issues. It appears that their idea of resealing the roof involved silicone caulk, and some seal tape around the edges. ***FYI: pic 6 is a PERFECT example of what NOT to do. If you want to do a ‘quick patch’ [which will NOT hold long term or prevent worsening damage from existing water seepage, and appears to be what they tried to do] there should be AT LEAST 2-3 more rows of tape, with the edges overlapping by at least 1/3 the width of the tape.*** While at first I thought it was just the bedroom that would need a full gut and rebuild, I’m starting to notice mold all around the border of the ceiling throughout the RV. I’ve started the gut & rebuild from the bedroom in the back with plans to work forward one room portion at a time, rebuilding any rotted/rotting roof and structural portions along the way as funds become available. On top of that, I have to replace the busted water heater, find and repair the propane leak, find and fix the clog & leak in the outgoing plumbing system [might just fk around and replace it all], replace the steps… While I’m at it I figure I may as well replace my sink & faucet with something of a usable depth, rather than the 6ish” deep split basin that could only possibly be convenient for bathing VERY small animals. There’s a TON of work to be done and skills to be gained, but you damnwell bet I’m gonna get it done!

The elemental chapter 4

Jen hummed as she sat on top of the RV watching Max train Gwen. He had built a rather interesting obstacle course launching cans and tires at Gwen. Jen looked around and saw barely anyone in sight so she decided to have some fun. She walked around the RV out of sight and to a pile of pebbles she made.

Brownish orange veins spread onto Jen's body and she moved her finger making the pebbles rise. Jen began to toss the pebbles without touching them. Jen moved the pebbles up and down then left and right then someone cleared their throat.

~~~~~~~~~

"Jen, how many times do I have to tell you not to use your bending?" Max asked while driving. Jen groaned "but Grandpa I have this power why can't I use it?" Jen whined and Gwen groaned. "Geez, can we not have this conversation again doofus?" Gwen said and Jen stormed to the back.

Max sighed 'I hope she understands one of these days.' Max thought. Then as if the universe wanted things not bad but worse the RV started to break down. Max frowned "this is not what I need." max said as they headed for the nearest town.

~~~~~~~~~

The Tennysons pulled into a town to get repairs but the place was empty. "it's a ghost town." Jen said and Gwen smirked, "yeah, just like your head nothing there haha." Gwen said and Jen frowned. Gwen kept mocking and Jen eventually walked away.

Max just happened to look up at that point and see Jen walking away. "Gwen, go with Jen to" "Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid or use her bending, I'm on it." Gwen then walked off after Jen.

Jen had found her way to the old mine and admired the craftsmanship. "this place is really old school." Jen muttered sounding out of breath. Jen began to fan herself it was rather hot in the mine and Jen's dress wasn't helping. "need to get this off." Jen said and unbuttoned the top of her dress then pulled it down wrapping the sleeves around her waist.

"good thing I always wear a tank top under my dress but maybe I could wear shorts as well so I could fully take my dress off," Jen said and continued to walk deeper into the mines. "hey, wait for me doofus!" Jen turned to see Gwen and she pouted at her presence.

Gwen approached and was about to say something but the two were suddenly ambushed by an alien. They both screamed and ran as the alien chased after them. "Gwen, go alien!" Jen cried trying to keep up with her cousin. Gwen was quick and transformed into ghost freak then flew away leaving Jen behind.

"Gwen, what the heck!?" Jen called before she tripped over a rock. Jen slid across the ground and scraped the side of her face, arm, and leg. "gotcha brat!" the alien said as it pounced on Jen and lifted her in the air. "well, you will be perfect bait." the alien said but then noticed the veins on Jen's body.

Jen threw a hand up raising a rock pillar and hit the alien in the face. "ARGH!" the alien growled in pain and Jen took the chance to run.

~~~~~~~~~

As Jen was running she saw the RV speeding toward her. Max spun the wheel turning the RV to its side and Gwen threw the door open. Jen jumped in and collapsed onto her knees by the door. "are you ok Jen?" Gwen asked as they drove off and Jen became upset at this.

"Why did you leave me like that?" Jen asked and Gwen became panicked. "I tried to grab you," Gwen argued but she knew it was a lie. Jen frowned "no, no Gwen you did not try and grab me." Jen said and Max decided to bud in. "what is important is that you are safe, and did the alien say anything?" Max asked and Jen pouted. "it said something about using me as bait." Jen said then headed to the back.

Jen lay on her bed and watched the ceiling with a stinging pain in her arm. Jen raised her arm and looked, her eyes widened seeing a big purple mark on her arm where the alien grabbed her. Jen sighed and sat up to put the top part of her dress on then there was a thud on the roof. Jen heard a chainsaw and quickly rushed to the front and saw a new alien.

"Who is that?" Jen asked and received a snarl. The alien aimed a blaster at Gwen who put her hand up and braced herself. However, the blast never hit and Gwen opened her eyes to see a pink forcefield in front of her. Jen stared in awe "How did you do that?" Jen asked but didn't get an answer.

Max slammed the brakes sending the alien flying into the road. Max hit the gas and ran the alien over but the RV stopped. He got out and saw the tires had been slashed by the alien. The girls ran out and gasped seeing they had no way to escape.

"come on." Max quickly grabbed them and started running to an old mine. They hid behind a wall and Jen peeked out and saw nothing "I think we are safe." she said. Suddenly the alien from earlier appeared and Gwen growled "you are like a bad luck charm!" Gwen yelled and dialed into the watch. "Max grabbed Jen and pushed her towards the exit "go to the RV where it is safe." He said then ran to help Gwen.

Jen went running back in but her grandpa stopped her "NOW!" Max yelled. Jen growled with angry tears and ran towards the RV "I wish I hadn't come on this trip!" she screamed as the wind picked up. "ALL I WANT TO DO IS BE A HERO LIKE GWEN!!!" Jen screamed as a giant sphere of air formed around her. Jen was lifted off the ground and at least 80 feet as the sphere grew.

Before Jen knew it she had created a sandstorm so strong the RV turned onto its side. Jen screamed in anger and the wind free stronger spreading the storm. "AHHHHHH!! WHY WHY WHY?" Jen screamed before she blacked out.

~~~~~~~~~

Jen sat with her head down receiving another lecture from Max. "what were you think? Just look at the RV this will take forever to fix." Max said fuming. Jen gripped the skirt part of her dress "I'm-I'm sorry." she said while crying. Max pinched the bridge of his nose "sorry doesn't fix the RV." Max said before walking away.

Jen thought things couldn't get worse until sunscreen was dumped on her head. Gwen laughed with pink energy around her hands "best day ever." she said then walked away. Jen bit her lip and then covered her face with her hands.

~~~~~~~~~

Out in space, an alien overlord watched Jen "hmmm, interesting." he said with a new desire.

Day 5

Finally have enough internet for a real update! Getting out of Texas never felt so sweet for a few reasons; One, it’s closer to temperatures that I can handle (Did I mention that hEDS/HSD comes with heat intolerance?), Two, I’ve already had to do a little camper repair. The high winds between Lake Colorado City State Park and Lubbock were just too much, and only after I pulled up to Prairie Dog Town (Yes, I go to every Prairie Dog town I find near me on the map! You should too), did I notice almost half the fiberglass on one side of the camper had been ripped away. Oh boy!

Seeing that I’ll be in the pacific northwest on part of this trip, this just will not do. After a few hours and some very unhelpful Lowe’s employees, I got what I needed to ��fix” it. Good thing I’m crafty! I laid heavy duty RV roofing tape down, then used RTV silicone seal to make it water proof. This should hold the rest of the trip – but I’m kind of expecting the other side to blow away at some point. Fingers crossed!

Just like new. Right? RIGHT???

Now for the stuff that’s really important: PRAIRIE DOGS! 

My first National Park stop was Aztec Ruins National Monument, not as much ruins as abandoned by the various tribes, like the Hopi and Zia, that lived that centuries ago. My favorite part was the great room in the largest ceremonial Kiva.

I earned my first Junior Ranger badge of the trip! I dedicate this badge to my friend and donor Jason-Fo, aka, Vacation Jason. Jason is one of the kindest, most authentic people I have ever known. We met in 2011 when we both served as chaperones on an environmental education trip taking honors students to the Hawaiian Islands on a 35 day course. We went back again, and have remained friends. Jason, thank you for your friendship and your support of my fundraiser! Mahalo nui loa. This badge is for you!

My next stop was two nights at Mesa Verde National Park. What a surprise it was! I didn’t know much about it, but wow, it’s beautiful for so much more than the many, many dwellings it’s known for. The story is very much the same as Aztec Ruins; the various tribes that lived here for so long eventually leftover time to reach ‘greener pastures’, since they sustenance and economy was driven by agriculture.

I did a ranger lead tour of Long House, the second largest dwelling in the park. There are 150 rooms here, and many families lived in an impressively run community. Rooms stacked on top of rooms, we used ladders to ascent upwards just like they did hundreds of years ago. After moving on, different tribes ended up in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

 I was lucky that at the end of my second day there, members of the Ute tribe performed drums, dancing, and storytelling at their ancestral lands of the park. I also ruined some people’s day by telling them they couldn’t gather firewood in the park. The guy said, “It’s not for a campfire, it’s for, like, a burning man.” I will be honest, I short circuited there for a moment, because although I’ve heard a lot of weird things working and visiting the parks, that was a new one. I told him that it didn’t really matter what it’s for, you can’t take wood, plants, flowers, anything from a National Park, everything is protected. Luckily, he didn’t seem very sharp so he didn’t argue, and when I asked them to put the sticks back in the wood, they dropped them, and looked supremely bewildered as they walked away. Score one for ya girl.

I earned my second Junior Ranger Badge of the trip here. I dedicate this one to my dearest Shelby, who I saw crawl out of the birth canal at zero years old (well, not really, but don’t tell Shelby that). Thank you for being the first person (*that I’m NOT married to) to donate to this fundraiser. You are a great person to have in my life because you are driven, strong, honest, and intelligent. Your love for life is something to aspire to. You are far better quality than this terribly unfocused picture! 

I will update as soon as I have service/wifi again. I have no idea how often that will be! Such is life on the road.

Easy RV Roof Repair: Fixing RV Roof Leaks and Maintenance

Welcome to our guide on fixing RV roof leaks! Imagine you're on a cool road trip, enjoying the breeze and the sun, when suddenly, there's a drip, drip, drip from your RV's roof. Not fun, right? But don't worry! With our easy tips, you can fix those leaks and keep your RV comfy and dry. Let's learn how to do it together!

Understanding RV Roof Leaks: Common Causes and Signs

Let's talk about why RV roof leaks and how you can spot the signs. Imagine your RV like a little house on wheels, and just like a house, it can get leaks in its roof. These leaks can happen for a few reasons. Sometimes it's because of old age – the roof material can wear out over time. Other times, it's because of something hitting the roof, like a tree branch or even hail. Sometimes, it's just a tiny gap where water can sneak in.

Now, how can you tell if your RV has a leak? Look out for water stains on the ceiling or walls inside your RV. Sometimes you might even see drips or puddles forming. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to investigate further and fix the leak before it gets worse.

Essential RV Roof Maintenance Tips for Leak Prevention

Let's talk about how to keep your RV's roof in good shape to prevent leaks. Think of it like giving your RV a little TLC to keep it cozy and dry inside.

First off, give your roof a regular check-up. Look for any cracks, tears, or gaps in the roof material. If you spot any, patch them up right away before they turn into big problems.

Next, keep your roof clean. Sweep off any leaves, branches, or debris that might collect up there. And if you spot any mold or mildew, clean it off with a gentle soap and water mix.

Another important tip is to inspect your roof seals regularly. These are the rubbery strips around things like vents and antennas. Make sure they're not cracked or dried out. If they are, it's time to replace them to keep the water out.

Lastly, consider giving your roof a protective coat of sealant every year or so. This can help extend its life and keep it watertight.

By following these simple maintenance tips, you can keep your RV's roof in top condition and enjoy leak-free adventures for years to come!

The Importance of Timely Mobile Home Roof Leak Repairs

It can warp your walls, rot your wood, and even mess with your electrical stuff. Plus, it can lead to mold and mildew, which nobody wants hanging around.

But here's the good news: if you catch that leak early and fix it up quick, you can save yourself a ton of headaches down the road. So next time you hear that telltale drip-drip, don't wait – get on it right away and keep your mobile home cozy and dry!

Selecting the best roof sealant for your RV is a crucial decision that can make all the difference in keeping your adventures leak-free and worry-free. Here's a handy guide to help you navigate the maze of options and find the perfect sealant for your mobile abode:

Compatibility: Before anything else, ensure that the sealant you choose is compatible with your RV's roofing material. Whether you have a rubber roof (EPDM or TPO), fiberglass, aluminum, or another type, opt for a sealant specifically designed for that surface to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

Weather Resistance: Your sealant should be able to withstand the full spectrum of weather conditions, from scorching sun to freezing cold and everything in between. Look for a sealant with UV resistance to prevent cracking and degradation over time, as well as flexibility to accommodate temperature fluctuations without losing its seal.

Durability: A durable sealant is essential for long-lasting protection against leaks and damage. Consider factors such as resistance to water, mold, mildew, and chemicals, as well as the expected lifespan of the product. A sealant with a proven track record of durability and longevity is worth its weight in gold.

Ease of Application: Let's face it – nobody wants to spend hours wrestling with complicated sealants. Opt for a product that offers easy application, whether it comes in a spray, brush-on, or tape form.

Maintenance Requirements: Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your RV roof stays in top condition. Choose a sealant that requires minimal upkeep and reapplication, saving you time and effort in the long run. Some sealants may require periodic inspections and touch-ups to maintain their effectiveness, so factor this into your decision-making process.

Cost: While cost shouldn't be the sole determining factor, it's important to consider your budget when choosing a roof sealant. Balance the upfront cost of the sealant with its expected lifespan and performance to determine the best value for your needs.

By considering these factors and doing your research, you can confidently choose the best roof sealant for your RV, providing you with peace of mind and protection on all your travels.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying RV Roof Sealant

Applying RV roof sealant doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the right tools and a step-by-step approach, you can ensure a watertight seal that keeps your RV protected for years to come. Here's a handy guide to help you through the process:

Gather Your Materials: Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. This typically includes the roof sealant of your choice, a caulking gun (if applicable), a putty knife or trowel, a cleaning solution or primer (if recommended by the sealant manufacturer), and safety gear such as gloves and goggles.

Prepare the Roof: Start by thoroughly cleaning the roof surface to remove dirt, debris, and old sealant. Use a gentle cleaner or soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the roof material. Allow the roof to dry completely before proceeding.

Inspect for Damage: Take this opportunity to inspect the roof for any signs of damage or areas in need of repair. Look for cracks, gaps, or areas where the existing sealant has deteriorated. Address any issues before applying the new sealant.

Apply Primer: Some sealants may require the use of a primer to ensure proper adhesion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying the primer, allowing it to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Load the Sealant: If using a sealant that comes in a tube, load it into a caulking gun according to the manufacturer's instructions. If using a liquid sealant, ensure it is properly mixed and ready for application.

Start Sealing: Begin applying the sealant to the roof surface, starting from one corner and working your way across in small sections. Use steady, even pressure to ensure a uniform seal. If using a caulking gun, apply a continuous bead of sealant along seams, edges, vents, and any other areas prone to leaks. If using a liquid sealant, use a brush, roller, or trowel to spread it evenly over the surface.

Smooth and Shape: Once the sealant is applied, use a putty knife or trowel to smooth and shape it, ensuring proper coverage and adhesion. Pay special attention to seams and corners, ensuring they are adequately sealed to prevent water infiltration.

Allow to Cure: Depending on the type of sealant used, allow sufficient time for it to cure and form a watertight seal. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for drying and curing times before exposing the roof to moisture.

Inspect and Touch Up: Once the sealant has cured, inspect the roof for any missed spots or areas that may need additional sealing. Touch up as needed to ensure complete coverage and protection.

Clean Up: Clean any tools or equipment used in the application process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Dispose of any leftover sealant or packaging properly.

Following these steps will help you achieve a professional-quality seal that keeps your RV protected and leak-free, allowing you to enjoy worry-free travels wherever the road may take you.

Maintenance Tips for Long-lasting RV Roof Protection

Maintaining your RV roof is essential for ensuring long-lasting protection and minimizing the risk of leaks and damage. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your RV roof in top condition:

Regular Inspections: Schedule regular inspections of your RV roof, ideally before and after each trip, to check for signs of damage or wear. Look for cracks, tears, punctures, or areas where the sealant may be peeling or deteriorating.

Clean the Roof: Keep your RV roof clean by regularly removing dirt, debris, and grime. Use a mild detergent or specialized RV roof cleaner and a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the roof material.

Inspect Seals and Caulking: Check the seals around vents, skylights, antennas, and other roof fixtures for signs of deterioration. Replace any cracked or damaged seals and reapply caulking or sealant as needed to maintain a watertight seal.

Trim Overhanging Branches: Trim back overhanging branches to prevent them from scraping or damaging the roof surface. Falling branches or debris can cause dents, scratches, or punctures that compromise the integrity of the roof.

Protect Against UV Damage: UV rays can cause the roof material to degrade over time, leading to cracks and leaks. Apply a UV protectant or roof coating specifically designed for RV roofs to help prolong the life of the roof and maintain its flexibility and durability.

Check for Water Intrusion: Inspect the interior of your RV for signs of water intrusion, such as water stains, mold, or mildew. Address any leaks or water damage promptly to prevent further deterioration and costly repairs.

Avoid Parking Under Trees: Whenever possible, park your RV in a shaded or covered area to protect it from the sun's harmful UV rays and falling debris. Parking under trees can increase the risk of damage from branches, sap, and bird droppings.

Winterize Your RV: Before storing your RV for the winter months, be sure to winterize the roof to protect it from freezing temperatures and snow accumulation. Remove any snow buildup promptly to prevent excess weight on the roof and potential damage.

Stay Off the Roof: Avoid walking or standing on the roof whenever possible to prevent dents, scratches, or other damage. Use caution when accessing the roof for maintenance tasks and always use a sturdy ladder or platform.

Follow Manufacturer's Recommendations: Finally, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and care of your specific RV roof material. Different types of roofs may require different maintenance procedures and products, so be sure to consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for guidance.

By following these maintenance tips, you can keep your RV roof in top condition and enjoy worry-free travels for years to come.

Conclusion

Maintaining your RV roof is essential for preserving the integrity of your mobile home and ensuring a hassle-free travel experience. By following the maintenance tips outlined above, you can protect your RV roof from leaks, damage, and premature wear, prolonging its lifespan and keeping your adventures on track.

Regular inspections, cleaning, and sealing are key components of roof maintenance, helping to identify and address issues before they escalate into costly repairs.

Remember to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for care and maintenance of your specific RV roof material, as different types may require different procedures and products. With proper care and attention, your RV roof can provide reliable protection and peace of mind for all your travels.
