Discover how James at High Road RV Repair revitalized a damaged RV roof and slide-out seals. Learn about common RV sealing issues and prevention tips.

A well-sealed RV is essential for a comfortable and leak-free camping experience. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause RV roofs and slide-out seals to deteriorate, leading to water damage and costly repairs.

Today, I am excited to share a before-and-after look at a recent RV roof and slide-out seal repair project completed at the shop. This particular RV had been experiencing leaks and drafts, but James was able to restore it to its former glory.

The Before

As you can see, the RV roof and slide-out seals were showing signs of wear and tear. The sealant was cracked and peeling, leaving gaps for water to penetrate. This type of damage can quickly lead to water damage, mold, and other serious issues.

The Repair Process

James the expert Technician at High Road RV Repair began by thoroughly cleaning the roof and slide-out seals to remove any dirt, debris, or old sealant. 

Next, he carefully inspected the seals for any underlying damage, such as rotted wood or damaged rubber.

Once the damage assessment was complete, James got to work repairing the damaged seals. This involved removing the old sealant, cleaning the surface, and applying a high-quality RV sealant to all affected areas.

After

As you can see, the RV roof and slide-out seals look brand new! James was able to completely restore the seals, preventing future leaks and drafts.
