Watching the weather? wasnt so dry last year

[EthansDad]

I dunno. here is a pic of the roof of my RV right now (as of 20 min ago). had a problem on the last trip, got a way high estimate, so I've taken the job on myself. I'd still be working right now if it did not start raining....:mad:

If I pull this off, we'll go, and I'll add one more item to my list of what you need to show up at a national - RV roof repair specialist, grade 1. :)

Gorilla tape and a tarp will do just fine

[quadnana7]

We know what you mean about the roof had a leak over the winter and did not know it not only did it ruin the roof the ceiling in the rv is stained. We had to replace the roof but I can live with a stained ceiling. The price of the roof was terrible

[Logan #34's Dad]

Oh boy EthansDad, I feel your pain. We had our pull apart in the front where the front cab-over (Class C) part meets the flat roof on the way to Loretta's last year. Duct Tape got us to the track. Had to go to a Lowes (with Gary Rozelle - which was an event in itself. lol) and buy stuff. The best thing ever is Gorilla Tape. I ended up taking long deck screws and running them through the metal factory strip that pinches the two roof parts together and into a 2x3 board inside the rv. Also I bought a 4 inch wide strip of thinner aluminum to put under the factory metal strip to make the "clamp" wider on top. When you tighten the screws it pulls everthing back tight. Then I covered the area on top with Gorilla Tape. ALL AT THE TRACK! 1500 miles later - All is well. knock on wood.

Good luck!

Sure would be nice to be able to afford a Renagade eh!

[EthansDad]

I was a believer that duct tape could fix anything and was "god-like" until I saw gorilla tape. I'm replacing the wood, but actually found something STRONGER than gorilla tape! I might keep some of this tape on my trailer for frame repairs :)

how does that work on mouths???

[Logan #34's Dad]

WOW! that looks like some great stuff!

[dblacks]

We had to take the entire front off back in Feb/March to fix the leak on ours, turned out the factory seal going across the roof never really sealed to the fiberglass and we peeled it right off after we got it started. Water was leaking in and going under the bunk and had no place to go so the plywood was all delaminated.

sure ain't much holding the front up. mine needs the same thing done. I drilled drain hole in mine.
It's shame, My old rv works flawlessly but it is falling apart around itself. dblack, you wanna do mine? lol.

[edwardsp&b]

That sucks guys!! I'd much rather work on the quads instead of the rv's. We cant make it to Illinois, with school honors and stuff we have to be at school thursday night. We will see yall in Pa in a couple of weeks.

NO!!

[EthansDad]

comon dblacks, Rocky and I will keep your quads running in trade for nose cone work! :D

I finished mine up. man, eternabond, ask for it by name! that is some serious tape. I did have to replace all the wood, so it was more than a tape job, but I think the eternabond will make leaks on that cone to roof seam a thing of the past.

BTW- if you see our rig going down the highway to IL, honk your horn and point at our roof. you're sure to get me freaked out that something has come loose!

Hey Bryan you are right working on the quads....I pulled the boat out about a week ago and the water pump wasnt working. Took it to the shop and they said that was the least of my worries....The Block and manifold is cracked. The water pump was broke and didnt pull antifreeze into the block when I put it up last October. $4,500 for a new water pump and 5.7 volvo crate motor.:eek2: I guess the boys wake boarding will be on hold for a while. Maybe you guys can head to Loretta's a day early and come by for the day, we'll take Ben and the gang on a wake board trip....got a massive tube as well.

Wont make it this week or PA either.

[RCR_531]

Sorry to hear about your boat. My aunt had the same thing happen to hers and her Ins covered it. I was worried that my camper was going to have leaks this season from having a family member winterize it. So far so good

[edwardsp&b]

Bruce, count us in. We have some grandparents coming to Lorretta's, as soon as i get their plans down I'll call you. We have a Sequads race the weekend before Lorretta's so we will just leave from there to your place, and then on to Lorretta's.

Get your boat ready and we will see if we can get that tube airborne!!! It should at least make for some good pictures! LOL

[thequadfather+2]

I'll see you at SEquads...make plans.

Fridays pratice looks like it will be muddy. We got over an inch of rain last night with more on the way but Weekend looks great for the races.

[Logan #34's Dad]

Looks like its going to be a fun windy/rainy drive! Just can't wait for the bulldozer to yank us into our parking area. Ugh.

[121dad]

why change? got away with th last 2.:devil:

[RCR_531]

The sun has came out and warmed the place up. Hopefully the pits aren't to bad to get around in. I will be leaving for there in a couple hours. See everyone there.

I have never seen so many nice RVs being pulled by bulldozers. I hope that it dries up before Sunday not that it is bad to walk around in by it sucked pulling the Fifth wheel in.
