Why Resealing Your RV Roof and Windows Is Essential for RV Maintenance
Proper maintenance is key to protecting your RV and ensuring it’s ready for years of travel and adventure. One of the most important and often overlooked parts of RV maintenance is resealing your RV roof and windows. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, snow, and temperature changes can cause sealant to crack or deteriorate, allowing moisture to enter your RV and lead to costly damage if left unaddressed. At Great Escape RV, we regularly help RV owners protect their investment through routine inspections and preventative maintenance, including roof and window resealing.
Why RV Roof and Window Seals Matter
Your RV’s roof seams, vents, skylights, windows, and exterior joints are constantly exposed to the elements. As sealant ages, it can dry out, shrink, crack, or lift even in areas that appear fine from a distance. Small gaps around seals can allow water to seep inside, leading to interior damage, mold growth, soft spots in the roof, and deterioration of walls or insulation. Resealing your RV roof and windows helps keep moisture out, protects the structure of your RV, and extends its overall lifespan.
When Should You Reseal Your RV Roof and Windows?
At Great Escape RV, we recommend inspecting your RV’s roof and window seals annually to help prevent leaks and protect your RV from long-term water damage. As part of our RV service offerings, we provide professional seal inspections and resealing services to ensure your seals remain flexible, intact, and weather-resistant. In many cases, resealing may be recommended based on the condition of the seals, how often the RV is used, and the environments it’s exposed to. Routine inspections and timely seal maintenance are a small investment compared to the extensive repairs that can result from unnoticed leaks or water damage.
RV Roof Reseal Inspection Pricing
At Great Escape RV, we offer clear, upfront pricing for RV roof reseal inspections so you know what to expect before any work begins. Our Unit Reseal Inspection starts from $375 and includes a detailed inspection of your RV roof and existing sealant. Roof inspections and touch-ups are priced starting at $5 per foot, allowing us to tailor the service based on the size and condition of your RV. If our technicians determine that additional resealing or repairs are needed beyond basic touch-ups, we’ll provide a clear quote before any work is completed. This approach helps address potential issues early and prevents minor seal wear from turning into costly water damage.
Extending Seal Life with Proper Lubrication
In addition to routine resealing, using a proper seal lubricant can significantly extend the life of your RV’s roof and window seals. At Great Escape RV, we offer a specialized lubricant designed to keep seals flexible, prevent drying and cracking, and help protect against weather-related wear. Regular application of seal lubricant helps maintain elasticity, improves water resistance, and can reduce the frequency of resealing over time. When combined with routine inspections and professional maintenance, seal lubrication is an effective way to protect your RV and preserve its long-term condition.
