RV Roofs & Exteriors
Resealing
Resealing your RV roof is important for several reasons:
-
Preventing Water Damage: One of the main purposes of sealing the roof is to prevent water leaks. Water damage can cause significant harm to the interior of your RV, including mold growth, rotting wood, and damage to electrical systems.
-
Maintaining Structural Integrity: A well-sealed roof helps maintain the structural integrity of your RV. Water leaks can weaken the roof structure and lead to costly repairs.
-
Protecting Insulation: Proper sealing ensures that the insulation in your RV remains dry and effective. Wet insulation loses its effectiveness and can lead to increased heating and cooling costs.
-
Extending Roof Life: Regular resealing can extend the life of your RV roof by protecting it from the elements, such as UV rays, rain, and snow. This can help you avoid the need for a full roof replacement, which is a much more expensive and labor-intensive process.
-
Preserving RV Value: Keeping your RV roof in good condition helps preserve the overall value of your RV. When it comes time to sell or trade in your RV, a well-maintained roof can be a significant selling point.
-
Preventing Interior Damage: Water leaks from a poorly sealed roof can damage the interior of your RV, including furniture, flooring, and walls. Regular resealing helps prevent these types of damage.
-
Improving Energy Efficiency: A properly sealed roof can improve the energy efficiency of your RV by preventing air leaks. This can help keep your RV cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing the strain on your HVAC system.
Regularly inspecting and resealing your RV roof as needed is a key part of RV maintenance that can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

RV Mobile Rescues also offers a specialized service known as an exterior body reseal for RVs, aimed at safeguarding RVs against water damage and ensuring longevity. This meticulous process involves a thorough examination and resealing of all exterior elements, including windows, moldings, joints, and seams.
​
Manufacturers often apply sealant hastily during the production phase, resulting in certain areas being inadequately sealed. During the reseal process, the existing sealant is painstakingly removed, and any loose components are secured to enhance structural integrity. New sealant is then meticulously applied to all open areas and penetrations to create a watertight barrier.
​
RV Mobile Rescues emphasizes the critical role of proper sealing to protect the RV from water infiltration, which can lead to extensive hidden damage such as dry rot. RV owners can mitigate the risk of hidden water-related issues that could potentially compromise the vehicle's structural integrity over time.
This service is positioned as a proactive measure to prevent costly repairs down the line, underscoring the importance of regular maintenance to ensure the RV's longevity. The exterior body reseal service not only enhances the RV's resilience against environmental elements but also contributes to a safer travel experience.
By entrusting their RV to this comprehensive maintenance procedure, owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their vehicle is well-protected and prepared for the road ahead.
