RV Roof Repair - '89 Winnebago
My name is Nathan and I am living full-time in my RV. Patches is a 1989 Winnebago Superchief on a 1988 Chevy P30 Chassis with a 7.4l BBC 454. She is 35 feet long, rear bumper to front bumper.
Follow me around as I live a nomad lifestyle being off the grid, boondocking, traveling and work on the RV making repairs and completing upgrade projects!

Definitely don't get the acrylic stuff, ive had good luck with the latex but needs to be repainted ever so often, after this i might go ahead with some of the expensive silicone stuff, maybe a membrane kit. I also would get thicker panels and get marine grade panels. This was a rush job because the rain was coming so there is a lot i would do differently but ill try to cover that in an upcoming video.
Such courage to even attempt such a task, the old chewing gum was like something from a bad sci fi movie.
Now this is what I call an episode, I prefer the 1 hour or more format. this is one of you're best Nate, I hope you continue to do longer episodes. The new roof aught to last a good long time and it looks great, you did a fine job, as always. your craftsmanship is outstanding, before long you will have a whole new RV. I look forward to future episodes, but the waiting on this one nearly killed me... Keep em coming brother, if you film it we will watch...
One man all done by hand. Only if motor homes were also offered in kit form one could assure the finished product more so than rather the committed face value bought by most.
I’ve been looking forward to watching this, it’s been a hell of a project. I bet removing all of that white sealant was an awful job to do. 👍
Great job on that roof, it’s the inside that’s really going to be tough. But if it turns out looking anything like the roof, then this rig will be solid. Thanks again, GREETINGS from Southern California.
Nice work that should keep the old girl on the road for a few more years
I must have rewinded back to min 28 like 20 times by now.. that is priceless. Exceptional stuff there .. extreme project. Good job !
I did a complete roof re-design and replacement on my 81 Southwind. It took me two years to finish it while living aboard. Quite a project. You rocked that repair! Leaks suck.
That's a really great job, it should last a long tine.
I love the projects vids on patches
My wife and I enjoyed this show, you are simply amazing 👏.
You've done a good job there mate,
Heck of a job brother.
Very great job you do fix the roof impress you did the whole thing
WOW!! What a project! 😳 I watched the whole thing 😂 Nice job it looks great! 👍
Thumbs up on this project!
A lot of respect to you for taking on this challenge. Your skills are remarkable and I will continue to watch and learn. Kudos to you!
Nate prying off the roof at side structure wall: “Oh my God…Jesus…” Me prying up wood in bathroom yesterday: “ Oh my God…Jesus” -Both older Class A Winnebagos 😆
Nice job !
Looking good 👍👍
Good job Nate. I have an '89 Winnebago Chieftain with an aluminum roof. Going to replace it soon. Thanks for making the video!

I really enjoyed the video. I just acquired an 89 Chieftain and there is all kinds of water damage due to the aluminum roof having small pin holes all over it. I am literally in the process of tackling replacing my roof by myself as well. I've searched all over the web for a video like this. I an actually replacing the aluminum with aluminum. I have been taking pictures since the beginning. Hopefully my project turns out as nice as yours!!
that was one hell of a nice job you did
it’s a lot of work but it looks really good 👍 keep up the good work can’t wait for more video’s
Very impressive Nathan. Well done mate.
Well done, good job ! 👀👍
Great job
Man...you did a really good job on the RV Roof! Awesome job!
Hour long vidya!! Yes! Gonna make some lunch and sit down and enjoy this . EDIT: Great job Nathan, that came out fantastic .
Nathan you did a great job you are so talented and so Intelligent I'm very happy for you I know it was a hell of a job but you did great really great you should be proud of yourself
No gonna lie I jumped around a bunch, but I was pulling for ya the whole time. Patches is ready for another 30 years now. Great job!
I enjoy every single minute of your video, many thanks for showing us the procedure you decide to do.
Great video and great job. Thanks for recording, it was good.
By far, the best episode ! It is good seeing Patches out of weather issues. It would be nice to see a continued renovation of her. Maybe a cheap wrap or paint job on the exterior. You already have her running good. Then a room by room interior remodel that only fits your lifestyle. I see a potential for huge KZread revenue here.
wow good job on the roof
A lot of us were waiting for a roof repair video because it’s a common issue You did a nice job Now we get to see how well it holds up
Look at all that room for solar
I have been waiting for this one. It must feel so good to finally have that big project not weighing on your mind anymore. The finished product looks amazing, and I love that you decided to not put any holes back into the roof; it should last you much longer that way I would think, since there's less chances to invite moisture into the structure. Congratulations on another successful project!
Good job, glad to see you putting on a new roof, instead of just more coating.
Love the cabinet toss out the door and then the look back at the camera. Priceless!
Looks Great!!!
Damn dude. That was epic. Congrats on skill and hard work!
oooo yeah Nathan your spoiling us with a 1 hour vid, love this channel
New roof looks awesome.
wuaooo what a fantastic job , you have guarenteed your roof for the next 10 years ,hell of a job
love watching your videos.. great job !!!
Awesome job
GREAT job Nate :) wow!
Hi I just love you're videos you do keep in up all the best Shaun
Wow! You did an amazing job! The roof looks fantastic
Superb job 👍 well done
Cant wait to see what you do to the interior.
Awesome and THXs a lot. I also have the same P30 chasis. I had some delamination on the side panels from the windows on down and replaced it with 1/4 inch resin treated plywood over the foam panels spray painted with a few layers of the flexible black stuff they use to protect the chasis underneath the cars from rust and after it was well dry I just sprayed the whole thing over with some regular auto paint. Surface is a little different but actually way better then before with the old plastic liner. It looks even good when painted with a flat darker color. Now it´s holding up for 3 years with no issues and I like it because it is very easy to repair from all the little scratches from driving in rough countryside. Was a big project. Had to take out all the windows and rebuilt all the storage lockers and make it fit again. My roof is still rock solid but it was really helpful to see how the whole structure of the roof and the side panels is put together. My next project will be replacing the upper part of the plastic liner of the side panels.
WOW! What a big job to tackle and congrats on getting that done. It looks terrific. You must feel great about getting that off of your list of things to do. i think this has to be one of your best videos ever. i loved watching every minute of it. Take care!!
Wow, that was a transformation. Looks great. Thank you.
Good job!
Hi Nate, inspirational vlog yet again. Nice job.
Awesome job man that looks great!!!
Awesome job man. 👏
Wow that was a lot of work! Looks great 👍🏼
Very good job and so instructive!
Hats off to you dude that was a brilliant job and very satisfying to watch. Cheers
Awesome Job!! Very Well Done!!!
Nice work and a lot of it too. I have no idea if I would have anticipated the extra repairs either but I think you did a good job of mitigating those unforeseen issues. I am very interested to see what you will do to repair that rear cap. I am sure it will be solid and water tight when you are finished
Awesome job man 👍
You my friend are a brave brave man! But awesome job. I love seeing your confidence. I love seeing that you have a vision and can make it happen. And I also love that you aren’t scared at all to dive right in and face any challenge or problem that is thrown at you! A true old school sole! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A Job well done
Great job nate
Great job!
35-40 years ago i worked for a few the rv shops in Elkhart, Indiana and know there put together like crap & yet i own a 1987 chevy champion lasalle that i'll be living in next year & it's in lot better shape only has 55,500 miles on it & i'm the 3rd owner got all the service records with it & about do the brakes & shocks before winter & last year got 6 new tires that have not been mounted yet !
That was a great job - well done!
Looks good ! Long overdue.
Well done, excellent work; the new roof looks neat. 👍I agree with your idea of having no holes in the roof. At 1:06:20 maybe you could mount some solar panels on the wall instead of the roof? 🤔🇺🇸
Nice job 👍looks really good... And should last a long time. Look forward to see the rest of your repairs/ remodel... ✌️
Amazing, thank you for the entertainment.
Good job, respect mate. 😎👍🏼💪🏼
Congratulations on the new roof! Its always nice not to worry about leaks. Awesome video took me two sittings but I watched the whole thing. Good job ✌👍🇺🇸
nice work dude!!
Nice job
It looks 1000% better. No more random holes and patches. You'll be able to put 1500 watts of solar on your roof now.

That would actually be a good next investment. Since the panels would save on fuel for the generator, and they can also be transferred to whatever vehicle or stationary home he may wish to upgrade to. In my opinion with solar, you kind of have to go either big or go home for it to make a difference on the bottom line. Otherwise solar ends up as just another project toy.
What a great job 👏 you should be proud of yourself! Loved the vid! Thank you for showing us!
Nathan have you given any thought about possibly doing the sides of your coach I know that would be a hell of a job also just asking
Omg bro. That roof is f*****ing fantastic. Well sorted. And very well done pal😜😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nearly 26k subs bud, good job keep it up. Oh yeah monumental task you just did that's one 'Project' 👍
Good job
Wow! Great effort man
Great Job! Looks Fantastic!!
At 2:25, I wouldn't worry to much about your trailer roof, but that roof in the back ground is a real problem! Good luck with those rain gutters.
Great job wish I could do all the things you do my motorhome would be on the road now . Stay safe and enjoy your life
You repaired that quickly nice work!
Wow Amzing work
Worth the wait! Great job!
