RV ROOF INSTALLATION.

A friend of mine purchased a used RV unit in an auction. This rv's roof was leaking and had caused a lot of damage inside. It also appeared that the decking was water damaged. He decided that he would have to take off the old roof and put a new one on. So he contacted an rv dealer to see what it would cost to put a new roof on his rv. The rv is 9' x35' and does not have any slide outs. The dealer quoted $3,500 to take off the old and install a new one. Since I had some experance with rubber roofing my friend asked me if I would help install a new roof on his rv unit. I told him I had never done this before and was a little apprensive about tackling this project. He talked me into doing it and he purchased a complete rv installation kit for under $ 500 from flatroofsolutions.com. So the two of us started one morning and removed the old roof using the instructional dvd as a guide. It only took a half day to remove the air-conditionar unit and vents and remove the old roof. We then had to replace some of the rotten deck with new. This process was much easier than I thought it would be. We then installed the new rubber membrane on the roof that same day. The second day we finished the roof by attaching the air-unit and vents back onto the rv. It actually took only a day and half for the two of us to complete this project. The whole process was much easier than anticipated. As you can see , my friend saved about $3,000. This price could vary according to your local rv dealer. But if you are some what handy and can follow instructions you should be able to do this installation yourself. As you can see your could save thousands of dollars.
