How to Repair an Eternal Bond RV Roof

The rubber roof on an RV can develop air bubbles in the eternal bond that protects the roof itself. If not properly maintained a roof will leak due to age, improper maintenance or Mother Nature. When doing any repairs on an RV roof, only caulking and coating made with butyl rubber should be used. Other products made with petroleum will cause damage, such as holes, cracks or deterioration. Fixing the eternal bond on an RV roof is simple.
