roofs on 89 Itasca Spirit?

[GreyDawg]

Hey guys:

My "new" 89 Itasca Spirit has a no evidence of roof leaks, and I want

to keep it that way.

The caulking around the vents, etc looks good. I don't know if it was

ever replaced or is original.

What about the roof? I think it is a rubber roof, right? Do I need to

recoat or seal it every couple of years? Do I have to take off the a/c

and the antenna and the vents to do that right (I envision having some

rubber stuff to "paint" on the roof, right?)

As you can see, I am sort of clueless here.

Thanks,

Zack

That model has a solid aluminum roof.

Someone may have put a roof coating on it.

You can continue to re-coat it to keep it looking fresh but the coating will not do more than make it look nice as it should not leak. I prefer Dyco 890 as it is an solvent based elestomeric compound with teflon. It stays white longer and the teflon keeps 'crud" from sticking to it.

You "should" remove all vents and stacks, clean the old butyl putty tape off of them, apply new putty tape, and re-install them. This is the proper way to maintain the waterproof seal of these through the roof objects.
