How Does a Repaired RV Wall Look?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's back together and finished. This is the last in the wall series. I try to focus on the ends and outs of sealing the wall and what we did to re-laminate this 2006 Winnebago Journey.
Thanks for watching.

    Good work! And proves to me that I made a wise choice purchasing a travel trailer built with Azdel sidewalls! I’ve seen way to many Travel trailers, 5th wheels, Class C’s & A’s with de-lamination due to water damaged luan walls & caps.🤦🏻‍♂️ Question is...why don’t owners regularly check seals ALL over their units? Cheaper to replace cracking/loose seals than having this kind of work done! Happy travels to all.

After 40 years as a commercial glazier, I learned that silicone will bond to urethane, but urethane will NOT bond to silicone. Learned this through compatibility tests and failed window installations. Amazing the amount of labor involved in this project. Again, great job!!

    Another great job James.. better than factory looks like to me.. only so much you can do.. What sealant do you recommend to seal screws etc on a painted steel roof on my Wanderlodge? I need to re-install the track for my awning its coming loose and I will need to seal it and also a bunch of other holes in the roof where screws mount the aluminum decking on the roof.

    The seams at the slide look like they’re always going to be a problem. 🤔 You may have to take temp readings with a laser to monitor those areas going forward.

    Older video but most informative! Too bad, I never came across your channel, be it a bit late. I would have tackled our older Georgie Boy and repaired the de-lamination properly. In many ways the GB was a better motor-home than the new Jayco we bought.
