Water Damage : The Ugly Truth
If you’re RV lives outdoors you need to take action now.
The suns harsh rays combined with drastic climate changes in temperature and humidity are rapidly exposing your RV to the ravages of water infiltration.
If you’re serious about maintaining your RV and avoiding costly repairs take action now.
Investing 30 minutes of your time twice a year will save you aggravation and lost money.
Detecting entry points for damaging water requires frequent inspection and a keen eye.
Developing the eye to detect pending failures begins with understanding and honesty.
Why honesty?
Because honestly I don’t enjoy crawling up onto the roof.
And I especially don’t enjoy crawling around on my hands and knees, nose nearly touching the roof inspecting seams and caulking for signs of failure.
I don’t enjoy smearing that sticky caulking around or explaining why my clothes have dried goop on them.
Most of all I don’t enjoy explaining how that goop got onto the couch!
And I bet you don’t enjoy that either.
But, I do it anyway, because ignoring the maintenance now costs way to much later.
Set aside 30 minutes during spring and fall to inspect the exterior seams and caulking.
For many spring time includes dusting off the RV, draining the antifreeze and prepping for summer adventures.
Fall indicates the end of another camping season and time to winterize.
Add 30 minutes to the routine and put your eyes to work.
Inspect those seams and caulking for any signs.
And do yourself a favor, if there are any signs of aging or failing caulking.
Fix it now!
Tomorrow may be to late.
