Good job. I’ve watched several of these roof replacement videos, some know what they’re doing, others haven’t got a clue. I knew when you used the hole punch that you had a solid knowledge of what you were doing. We HAD a Keystone Outback Sydney edition travel trailer I was getting ready to re roof and replace the AC unit on, but in June of this year we had 3”-3 1/2” hail for about 35 minutes, it destroyed that camper, my pickup and the house. The insurance company declared the travel trailer a total loss, but not the pickup and the house is getting a new roof and gutters. But sadly we lost our camper. We are on the hunt for a new to us 4 season fifth wheel, but today’s economy is really making it tough to get a loan for exactly what we want. The dealers have offered us other campers but we refuse to settle for something we don’t exactly want. The last dealer we went to tried as hard as they could to put us into a camper we just didn’t want, so I told them to go pound sand and we would wait until either they were hurting enough to deal or we were ready to pay cash. These banks today are out to fleece as many people as they can for as many Pennie’s as they can.
Thank you for the comment and sorry to hear you lost the camper. I know what you mean about looking for a new one, they can be crazy expensive. Our latest one we bought was a 2015 Keystone Montana High Country. We paid $6500 for it. Structurally it was in good shape (until I hit a tree with it) but the interior needed to be redone. We put in all new furniture and painted it. I know we are into it for under $12,000. Check back if you want to see the before and after video of it. I should be posting that in another couple weeks after I finish up a few little things I have left to do.
Awesome job! We just got one and this video gives me the confidence I can get things done on my own! The roof looks great, you should list the products you used for the silicone and adhesives.
Thank you for the Awesome comment. I can't remember the names of the silicone and adhesives, but they came with the roof kit I ordered off of Amazon that is listed in the description. I bought the package that had everything. Good luck on your restoration. I will say at times it can seem overwhelming but if you just take it small steps at a time you'll have no problems. Let me know how it goes and if you get stuck or have questions please feel free to ask.
It really isn't too bad, just takes a little time. I am working on a pop up camper roof right now, and I am going to try Heng's rubber roof coating. We'll have to see which is easier to do.
@Parked Redesign I'm definitely thinking about doing it just have to get another ladder and a few more things. I seen this stuff eternabond I may go with that over the self leveling adhesive but I'm just trying to learn all I can these guys rv roof Install have alot of information.
I originally was thinking about having it done professionally. I was going to use RV Armor, very knowledgeable people and the fact that they guarantee the roof for life. Ultimately I ended up doing it myself because of the cost savings and I am on a budget. It is a little time consuming, but overall I was happy with the way it came out.
@@douglasbows7720 wow, was that for RV Armor? If so there prices must have gone up. I want to say they quoted me around 3800 for the 18 footer, but that was a few years ago.
Thank you for the constructive comment. I am new to the editing video part. Some limitations on non-copyright music. Do you prefer no music or do you have a specific sound you would recommend. FYI, my wife thinks it's terrible as well. LOL
@@sharonharrison4795 I will work on my commentary skills for the next fixer upper. I do need to be a little better with explaining what I am doing. Thank you for the comment.
@@parkedredesign, just to add to the comment on the music. I'm not that picky on the music. Yes, some choices are better than others. But my main criticism with this music is this: When you were talking I had to turn the audio way up. When the music came on it was 3 times as loud as your voice and was blasting my ears (and I'm hard of hearing). Music is intended to be background in something like this. Please level the volume appropriately. This isn't about the music. It's about the instruction. Music is intended to be a filler background to help it as you go along, not blaring so loudly. Yea, just tone it down a lot and make your voice better heard when you speak. Thanks. Great instruction.
I’m looking at doing this to my RV early this summer. I’ll be doing it by myself and it looks like you were in the same boat. How long did this take you?
I actually took the roof off, repaired the rotted wood and put the new roof on all in one day. Then it took me the next day to put the molding, AC, and self leveler on to finish it up. So it was completed in a weekend.
You just couldn’t help adding the LETS GO BRANDON could ya? You just lost a subscriber. Not a good idea to alienate 55% of your audience (probably more by now)
Thank you for commenting on that. I actually did that to see if people were watching the video. I agree with you 100%. In no way was I trying to alienate you. I respect your opinion, and I truly am sorry if it offended you. I will see if I can edit it out.
Good job.

@@parkedredesign thank you so much, i might have to message you if I get stuck.
when that panel fit like a glove it was so satisfying, then the glove reference!!!
It was satisfying! Thanks for the comment.
Pretty labor intensive job by yourself. Nicely done!!
Thank you, I appreciate that comment!
Gotta do this to mine. You definitely made it look easy.

@@2alawabidingcitzen Multiple ladders definitely help, let me know how it goes!
Great job. LGB love it as the other 99% do
Thanks, I appreciate the comment!
That's crazy there was that much roof damage but no wall damage to take care of
I was lucky on this one. Its also nice that the wall studs are aluminum.
@@parkedredesign Yeah that makes a big difference
Thinking of doing this also but mine is much bigger. May get a quote to see what something like this costs for a 33-foot trailer.

It will be exspensive
For that size it won't be cheap I have a 22 ft and they wanted 7500.00 times are high now days
@@douglasbows7720 wow, was that for RV Armor? If so there prices must have gone up. I want to say they quoted me around 3800 for the 18 footer, but that was a few years ago.
Good video, BUT the music made it almost unbearable.

@@parkedredesign Like I said, your video content was good just choose better music that is not so harsh.
No music would be great. Maybe give commentary on what task you're doing, why, and tips, insights you'd like to share. Great video!

why didnt you use self leveling lap sealant?
It was suppose to be, but didn't work to well
I’m looking at doing this to my RV early this summer. I’ll be doing it by myself and it looks like you were in the same boat. How long did this take you?

Did you install drywall mesh tape on your seams and perimeter? Or some other type of tape?
Yes it is just drywall mesh tape I got at Lowes for $5 a roll. Recpro sells an "RV" roof seam tape for $20, which looks to be the same thing.
@@parkedredesign Thank you
Mine has 1/8 or 1/4 inch luan plywood.
On the outside or inside? That seems thin for the outside.
@ the roof panels on top.
Good job nice work do you live in fl? I need help with mine will pay you
Thanks! I don't live in Florida, but if I did I would gladly have taken a look.
I would coat the entire roof wood with resin
That would definitely make it water proof. Thank you for the comment!
Couldn't deal with the music mac so i moved on👎
Noted, thanks for the comment.
OMG.... that music kill your video
Noted, Still working on my editing skills.
Dude... music is not like dic...more is not always better.
Thanks for the comment,..... preciate it.
Asinine music
Noted, still working on how to improve my editing, thank you for the input.
Horrible music. Please never use the music again.
Thanks for the input, you're not the first person to say that. Probably won't use that no more 🤣
