Professional RV shops and dealerships do provide a number of maintenance services, including resealing and reroofing. However, most places will charge well over $3,000 for the job, with larger RVs requiring an estimated $5,500 to $2,000 for a full reseal.
How often should you reseal your RV?
Ideally, an RV roof should be resealed every year and entirely replaced after 10 years of use. Not taking proper care of your RV roof will lead to water leaks, high damp levels and even mould inside the motorhome.
How long do RV seals last?
Generally, it is always recommended to reseal your RV rubber roof at least every 5 years. Although this will still vary on how often you use your rig and how often you clean and maintain it.
Can a rubber roof be recoated?
On top of saving you money, recoating your rubber roof can extend it's life by up to 20 years. This is a much more affordable option than a new roof, and it still provides the long life that a new roof would. And then, at the end of the 20 years, you can recoat your roof AGAIN!
Do RV rubber roofs need to be sealed?
If you spot an RV with a rubber roof that looks loose or swollen, the owner most probably used petroleum products to clean it. Use a self-leveling sealant, such as Dyco Flow Seal Caulk, to seal roof joints. Inspect all seams yearly and touch up any cracks with the sealer, to ensure you never suffer water damage.
