How to Fix a Camper Roof That Has Become Bubbled on Top

The EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) material that is used for rubber roofs on RVs protects the RVs roof, but must be maintained. If petroleum-based products are used on it the petroleum will penetrate the roofing material and cause it to bubble. These bubbles can be ignored if there are just a few scattered across the roof, but if there are many they should be fixed to prevent further damage.
