Roof Seal and Skylight Maintenance for GRECH STRADA Is that lap sealant around your Strada’s roof seam already cracking, or are you trying to get ahead of it before water starts seeping in? Either way, you’re looking at exactly what I find every time I get called to one of these vans: that fiberglass-to-steel transition … Read more

Roof Seal and Skylight Maintenance for OUTSIDE VAN ATERRA Your ATERRA’s dealer paperwork doesn’t spell out what happens when water finds its way under a lifted sealant edge — or how to tell the difference between a repair you can handle with a caulking gun and one that’s already rotted structural plywood underneath. I’ve opened … Read more

Roof Seal and Skylight Maintenance for WINNEBAGO EKKO I was standing on the Transit 350 HD roof of a 2022 Ekko last month, eight-foot ladder planted on asphalt, running my fingers along the rear cap-to-metal roof seam where the fiberglass composite curves down to meet the factory Ford roof structure.

Roof Seal and Skylight Maintenance for COACHMEN GALLERIA Skip this maintenance and water will find its way in — not immediately, but inevitably.

Roof Seal and Skylight Maintenance for JAYCO MELBOURNE I was halfway through a two-week loop down Arizona’s backroads when I parked at a small BLM site near Holbrook and noticed something I shouldn’t have: a dark water stain blooming across the headliner fabric directly above the rear storage cabinet. The Melbourne had been bone-dry three … Read more

Roof Seal and Skylight Maintenance for CHINOOK BAYSIDE Your Bayside’s service manual will tell you to inspect seams. What it won’t mention is that roof leaks on this particular rig almost never show up where the water actually entered — it travels sideways under the membrane first, then drops somewhere that looks completely unrelated to … Read more

Lithium Battery Bank Service and Solar System Maintenance Most Winnebago Revel 44E owners assume their lithium battery setup works like a car battery—you charge it, you use it, and it keeps working until one day it doesn’t. That’s backwards. These systems aren’t simple storage; they’re networked electronics that talk to each other constantly, and when … Read more

Fresh Water System Service and Cassette Toilet Maintenance I have a corroded quick-connect fitting sitting on my workbench right now — pulled it from a Revel I picked up last spring. It’s weeping just enough that the stain on the subfloor underneath tells the real story: nobody on that rig had checked the water system … Read more
