Cheryl Tries to DIY

Добавлен 4 сен 2022
Hi! I'm Cheryl. I live in Colorado. I bought a 1998 Coleman Cheyenne pop-up camper last year and it has needed some work, specifically on the roof. I figured I'd upload my big roof project as I got a lot out of watching others' RUclips videos - so thought I'd contribute. I'm no expert, clearly. Haha!
Coleman Pop-up Camper Roof Re-do: Part 2: Prep
After my first video (Part 1: Removing the ABS), here is a video of how I got my Coleman pop-up roof prepped and ready for the grizzly grip application. We filled holes with expanding foam filler, did lots of bondo work to smooth out imperfections and cracks, and lots of sanding. Hope this is helpful!

Coleman Pop-up Camper Roof Re-do: Part 3: Applying Grizzly Grip
Просмотров 13 тыс.2 года назад
This is the final part of my 3-part series on fixing (replacing) the bad ABS roof on my 1998 Coleman Cheyenne pop-up. In the first 2 videos, I removed the ABS that had been delaminating, and then prepped the roof. Here I show you how I applied the Grizzly Grip, what materials and techniques I used, and what could have been done better after all was said and done. I'm very happy with how it turn...
Coleman Pop-up Camper Roof Re-do: Part 1: Removing the ABS plastic
Просмотров 15 тыс.2 года назад
Hi everyone! I decided to document the entire process of replacing my Coleman camper roof. This video is Part 1: Removing the ABS. I have a 1998 Coleman Cheyenne pop-up camper. The ABS plastic roof has delaminated and was allowing moisture in, which was finding it's way into holes and into my camper. After doing lots of research, I decided to go the route of removing the ABS, patching everythin...
How did it go putting the seal on after?
I know these videos are from 2022 but could you post a list of products and the quantity you used?
How has this held up? I'm about to do mine which had the same issue. Also did you ever re-install the canopy?
So more than a year later, how is it holding up?
I replaced all the abs on my 96, just like yours, I used white Speedokote, after I fiberglassed the corners ans the latches. I replaced the rubber seal, and it looks almost brand new!!
Was your roof still sticky at all before applying the grizzly?
Really, really appreciate your videos, have a 1996 that I am doing this next week - mid June 2024. Couple of questions, what expanding foam filler did you use if you remember?? I have a lot of screw holes to fill. How is the roof holding up this past year? Did you re-mount an awning? and if so how is it holding on. One last thing. I see in the Stores "Bondo Glass" with Short Strand reinforced fiberglass filler. I wonder if this would give you the strong cover same as "classic" bondo?? Really appreciate any help. Happy Travels, Kalani MacGill
I don't recall which foam filler we used, but it was a pretty basic type. It's worked great so far! But it really expands so you have to scrape what ends up creeping outside where you want it to. Roof has held up really well, although it sinks in the middle some. We did get some hail damage that put holes in my pretty new roof, but I ordered more grizzly grip and just filled them in. I did not re-mount an awning so can't advise on that.
Still holding up well a year and a half later? Considering buying a 2001 myself but all the stories of these roofs going bad had me worried!
Hello :-) How many quartz did you use of the grizzly grip?
That's my question too!
@@emac1177 I think she said 5 but 9 was recommended.
Great trio of videos. I have a 96 Coleman I will be doing same in the next month. Thank you for paving the way. Has any one reinstalled the track for the owning after applying the Grizzly Grip? or is everyone just removing and living without the awning? or leave track on and cut off ABS around the track and apply GG . Any help is greatly appreciated
You are using the wrong type of roller. You should use a stiff foam roller not a puffy foam roller.
I have the same problem with my Coleman Bayside. How did you re- attach the awning rail so I can still use my add-a-room ?
Thanks for the great video! I have basically the exact camper you have! Your Video was very helpful!
Any updates on how this has performed?
Stumbled on your videos and glad I did. 2000 Coleman SunValley and the roof, though it doesn't leak looks horrible. Looks like I have a fall project now!
how's the top holding up? Any limbs fall on it yet? Dents? How hard is that Grizzly Grip?
Great job. I watched all 3 videos. This is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to document your work!
Thank you so much for documenting your process in doing this repair. I have a 1999 Sante Fe that has needed this repair since we bought it in 2021. I've been avoiding taking it on because of a lack other info on how to do. A few questions: (A) how long for each stage did it take you vs total project length? (I obviously understand that everyone's ABS removal stage will differ depending on how much adherence there is) (B) How much odor was there from the Grizzly Grip material? Did you end up needing to use a respirator? I am considering backing my trailer into my garage to complete this repair and am concerned about the ventilation. Appreciate your time and effort to share your knowledge!
2000 Santa Fe. (aherrst) Did you do the repair yet? Mine has more cracks than a plumber convention.
Hello, Did you attempt to remove the adhesive residue that’s left on the top after removal of ABS shell? I have tried every chemical I can think of, and nothing touches it. Hard to believe Grizzly Grip will adhere well to a sticky mess.
Just because you mix that much bondo, it doesn’t mean you have to apply it all. Start with smaller amounts and smooth it out. A lot less sanding. Good luck!
Thank you so much! This was an amazing series. I need to do mine.
How big of a kit did you buy?
Where in Colorado?
Boulder County
Great job on the abs removal
Thanks!
how is it holding up? leaks?
Holding up great so far. Been 9 months and I'm happy. No leaks!
Great videos. Update please on how it’s holding up. Also… did you put tracks for awning back on the roof? Thank you!
Hi there. Thank you so much. It's holding up great. Been 9 months so far, and no complaints yet! I did not put the awning back on the roof, but if you wanted to, I'm sure you could! You'd just want to order one, glue it on with a good glue, and then add your final coat of grizzly grip around it to make it blend in really nice.
@@cheryltriestodiy5398 thanks. Prolly gonna do this for our Cletus 😉 this video was extremely helpful!
Oh, I'm so glad to hear that! That's why I did these videos was because I couldn't find quite what I needed so I figured others were having the same problem. Clearly, I'm a novice, but that means anyone can do it, right? Ha!
@cheryltriestodiy5398 do you still have the popup? Is it still holding up?
Thanks for your videos! We have the same camper that's needs the same repair.
Hope this is helpful!
Here in Iowa set to take on this project on our Coleman. Anxious to know how it is holding up?
Its' holding up great! Been 9 months and I'm very happy with it so far. I did tarp it over the winter.
So far how is it going with the roof I bought one and the roof is horrible on mine I’m deciding on replacing everything or just doing this type of coating
So far, so good! Been 9 months now and I'm very happy with it. So far, anyway!
Hi! I have a 1998 Seapine. How has the Grizzly Grip held up? A lot of posts about it eating away the foam! Thank you!
Hi there. It has held up so far! It looks really good and has held up these 9 months so far. I did tarp it over the winter.
Hi! Thank you for your very helpful videos! I was wondering if you could share which type of bondo you used and about how much you used?
Hi there. We used the Bondo brand regular "body filler" from Home Depot. I can't be sure, but it was I believe the 1lb 12oz size and I'm pretty sure we ended up using 2 of them for our project. www.homedepot.com/p/Bondo-12-fl-oz-Lightweight-Body-Filler-PN0262/202077782
Cheryle, GREAT video. We have a 96 Colman that I need to do the same thing as you did. I have a few questions if you don't mind. How did you decide to use Grizzly Grip versus one of the other bed liners?? I appreciate you showing the can of Bondo and how you applied it. I see there must be close attention to multiple layers and smoothing it out like doing dry wall sealing. How much of the gallon did you actually use? I see you took off the awning mounting hardware. Have you been able to re-apply your awning? Also thank you for the price breakdown also. Again thank you very much, Kalani
Hi there! Sure. I decided on Grizzly Grip mostly because 90% of people on a Coleman facebook page I'm part of suggested it. I used two containers of Bondo on my project, but that is going to vary depending on your project. I did not re-apply the awning, but I'm sure it could be done.
great video series! thank u so much for doing them for us. i’ve got two pop up campers i am converting this year and this info was very helpful in how to deal with the roof issue i have on one of them. ❤😊
Thanks! I wished there was a good set of videos start to finish, so decided to do my own!
How did this turn out how long does it hold up
I can't say hold long it holds up. This is our first camper and first time doing this. But, it's been 9 months and it's looking good and holding up great! I hope it's a permanent fix and lasts for a very long time, as it was a semi-expensive and very time consuming project.
Great job. And, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
