The self-leveling is for horizontal surfaces such as top of your roof. They also make another version that is non-self-leveling for non-horizontal surfaces such as around windows that won't run down the side of your coach after applied.

We use this on our roof. I don't know about caulking. We have a 1995 sunrise Tt and our rv mechanic recommended this Dicor works great on seams and roof. No leaks. The roof is rubber not alum.

Per the manufacturer's spec sheet, EPDM Lap Sealant creates a secure, secondary seal along the roof's edges, air vents, vent pipes and screw heads. Compatible with EPDM and TPO sheeting, it adheres firmly to aluminum, mortar, wood, vinyl, galvanized metal, fiberglass and concrete. Ideally suited for aftermarket use, the lap sealant is one the highest volume products sold in RV stores today.Available in three formulations:Self-levelingSelf-leveling HAPS FreeNon-sag (not self-leveling)

Yes, I coated our 26.5 ' RV about a year ago. It took a little less than the 5 gallon I bought, Had about 2 quarts left over. Need two people for the job. One to mix & hand up to the person coating the roof. It did a great job. Lot cheaper than a new roof. I called the company & they informed me to leave the air bubbles as they were. Not to cut them but to paint over them.

While i have not installed these on a fiberglass roof, it would be no different than on a rubber roof.The inner part of the vent slides down over the vent tube that comes thru the roof of your RV. The 3 screws that come with it fasten the conection together. The cone that seals out the elements simply sits in the roof and can be sealed with most quality RV sealants. After the application is complete and seal is cured, i like to finish the install with Flex Seal spray sealant you see on TV. There is nothing with the install that needs to be screwed into the roof. Enjoy the seasons and fish well.

Yes, it is designed to fit. All RV's built as far back as i can remember have standardized the vent openings on the roofs of Trailers, Motorhomes, even pop up Campers. This way manufactures can produce vent covers, fans such as Fan-Tastic Vent. All roof mounted A/C units are designed to fit this opening. Hope this helps. Thanks!

from what I have experienced, the gas turns red and the rust seems to come thru, or is still living beneath it.. I used a radiator shop, they did a serious chem bath and coated it with an crazy sealant..looks perfect.. $110, if you want to make it perfect.. I had the option to leave it bare metal inside..

Agree with Mark & Grady. Fittings are similar but different. Quick connects on my air compressor lines are smaller & tend to leak a little as they wear. That could cause some excitement when you lit the Barbie next to your trailer. Also flexible lines of the air hose may not be resistant to LPG..............Bill

I purchased the trailer for the same purpose - easily molbility but the only problem you may have - if when the trailer arrives and you put it together and the welds and brackets do not alien - if that happens send return right away and have them sent a new one! This is what I did

I do not think it matters and would work just as well either way. I needed to mount the vertical aluminum on the outside because the bottom inch of my panel was damaged in places due to snow & rain and a lack of paint. I used a lot of 100% silicone behind the aluminum to get a great seal and stop the rot a month or so after painting it.

Best way to find out - if you have a 25' tape measure, run it from one end of your trailer to the other. I suspect it will be marginal, but you can also purchase extra wire to splice onto the ends. Use at least 18gauge wire for this. Crimp fittings work great for this. Waterproofing the splices isn't necessary if you disconnect the trailer before launching - the short term exposure shouldn't cause problems. Just remember to hook up again after retrieval.

Hi Debbie, I'm a consumer like you who happened to have bought the Camco Vinyl Trim Insert product. I've helped some other potential buyers who have had questions and thus my reason for writing you. It's difficult to answer your question because of some variables only you may know. Let's start with your current trim. How is it affixed to your RV wall. This trim from Camco was manufactured to replace trim found in a metal trim rail, usually run along the RV exterior. Installation is simple, once you pull out the old trim with a screw driver or other tool. The new trim strip bends with your fingers in half down the middle, across its 1" width, and pushes down into the RV metal trim rail. When you release your fingers the trim expands into the U shaped trim rail channel and allows the trim to hold fast in a slightly bowed shape. The very outside edges are slightly thicker which help anchor it in the railing. I'm not familiar with trim channeled railing being used on RV interiors. This trim is about 1/16" thick and an 1" wide. Its soft and flexible and perhaps could be used for your application with out a railing by applying an adhesive to one side or putting small finish nails to hold it place. Hope my words help you! PS. I'm married to a Debbie, I find them great folks!!! :-) Regards, Dan

I have a 40 ft long 8 ft wide trailer, I used 6 gallons; Including 3 slide out. I use a small container to scoop it out of the 5 gallong bucket and poor it on the roof then use the Squeegee and spread it with a roller, just like the instructions. I applied it last year, it's been raining lately and got no single leak, roof looks like new.

I couldn't tall you for sure but it does run a little. its thick and dries hard enough to fill small gaps.. If you apply a small strip to a vertical wall it wont run down the wall at all, but if you gob it on it will run.... its not like caulking

Your question would better be directed at either:1)The professionals at Draw-Tite. (extension use already cuts vehicle's tow capacity by 50%)Can only assume you indicating flat four towing? Not your vehicle aboard a trailer behind your RV type of towing?2)Your RV owners manual? And/Or the manufacturer of the hitch that is on your RV Lastly probably never ask the "professionals" here on Amazon.

Mine fit perfect.As I recall it was listed to fit a 30 to 33 foot unit and I am using it on a 32 footer. It was on my trailer all last winter and still looks new.

i hope you didnt put it on the whole trailer. i would do say a 3 foot square in the shade.see if the rest comes off. did the trailer have paint on it? it is alum. you just need to polish it.

It depends on how you wrap it. It will do 100" if it is run straight without wrapping it around the pipe in a spiral. Then wrap in alumin foil and cover it with self sealinfg pipe tubing. I have a 40" RV and 50" waterline I wrapped all internal pipes and pipes inside trailer along with water hose with straight run, no wrapping of heat tape. Never had a broken pipe with heat tape. The good thing about this heattape is if the electrical connector burns out the heat tape doesn't have to be replaced. It only cost about $12-$15 to replace connector.
