Shane: Hey guys. Shane here with etrailer.com. Today we have a 2005 KZ New Vision fifth wheel travel trailer, and I'm going to be replacing the roof membrane. Our customer's old membrane was severely damaged and it needed to be replaced. Luckily, they caught it in time that it didn't cause any damage to any of the wood underneath it. What are some other reasons that we can find that we would need to replace our roof membrane Maybe we find a small leak, a lot of those times, those leaks can be easily fixed by simply replacing the silicone sealer around all of your trim pieces.

Let's say we get up on the roof, we go to replace that sealer, we find that our roof membrane is brittle, soft, it is starting to break apart.There are three different types, or there are actually several different types of membranes. You have a harder membrane that's kind of a fiberglass, and we're going to have a few different soft ones. You're going to have a synthetic rubber, we're going to have a rubber, and then we're going to have a PVC. Synthetic rubber is what you're going to find on most of your campers, sometimes you'll find rubber. With the rubber and synthetic rubber, what most people don't know, and what most of your dealers are not going to tell you, is that the rubber roofs have to be sealed or treated every two years, if they're not the sun bakes down on them and it breaks them apart.You look at it like this, in the winter time, your skin gets dry, you scratch it, it starts to flake, you put lotion on it, you're treating that surface.

If you don't treat it, scratch it some more, that skin starts to break down cause it's getting weak. It's kind of along the same lines of what those rubber roofs. Say we go to a campsite, a really nice campsite. It's got a lot of trees in it. We haven't treated our roof because we didn't know we had to, a tree limb falls on it, puts a tear in it, there's temporary patch kits that are available that you can put on those tears, keep in mind they're not the best, they don't stay on very well and they are temporary.

You're going to have it in your mind wondering if that patch is working.Let's say it doesn't work, water gets in there, leaks through that spot, goes down your roof, down your wall. You're not going to know because you don't see a spot on your ceiling. You move your couch out like you're getting ready to clean it and your wall is warped. Well now that whole wall has to be replaced. Let's say you can live with that spot, you push your couch back, keep in mind your ceiling and your walls have insulation in them, anywhere that was saturated by that water is going to get mold on it, now you've just cost yourself a ton of extra money, and possibly your whole camper because it's not livable anymore.

If we fix it right the first time, we'd save ourselves a lot of money. That's what I'm going to recommend, the PVC roof membrane, It's going to be more durable and it's going to be much thicker.This is going to be our PVC membrane, this is going to be our rubber roof membrane. Our synthetic rubber is going to be similar only it's going to have a white back instead of a black. What I want to show you is this synthetic membrane or this rubber roof membrane what it's doing,
