Hey everyone...

I am considering eternabonding the vents, seams, skylights, ect on my RV trailer.
How easy is it to remove in the event you need to replace something?

Thanks for the input!

Wow, I can't believe they actually suggest gasoline as a solvent (after other products) to cut the adhesive. I remember using gas for all sorts of stuff way back when I was younger and dumber(er).

I used the first method in Larry's link when I replaced my vents. Worked fine and looks good.

Show me the GRILL and STAND BACK!!!!

Thanks for the information - as soon as the RV is out of storage it will be on the list of things to do....

On my new to me used 03 I went and redid everything on the roof. The PO had prev used Ebond, but failed to do it properly and had dirt and junk under it. I removed everything, washed it all, acetoned it and re applied new tape. Nothing is getting in now!!

I covered the entire roof of my TT. Vents, seams, everything. Took me an entire weekend.

BUT

I had one of the few bad batches of EB that warped up after just a few weeks.

EB was great - sent me all new tape and tools to repair everything.

Only took me like 90 minutes with a hair dryer to get up all the original tape.

Took me another full weekend to lay it down...again....however

While we're on the EB subject.......

Our camper is 2 years old, and whatever calking they used on the roof vents/AC/etc. is beginning to crack; I patched the cracks with Dicor Lap Sealant before the winter.

Now I'm thinking that I should remove the old calking and replace with EB. What size EB is the best?

So, have any of you guys done that, and how major a job is it? Any trade secrets to make the job easier?

Thank you
