Hello fellow Travellers!

I hope everyone is having a good May. Spring has sprung...

We have a 1996 Dodge LTV. I have a few maintenance questions about the roof, and would really appreciate some advice. The fiber glass roof has a couple of chips in it. I'm curious if anyone could recommend a good patching product for these. The largest chip is about the size of a dime.

I am also noticing some fine cracks / spiderwebbing. I have used Dicor in the past for sealing larger cracks, does anyone have experience sealing these finer ones? Lastly, a portion of the stripping (gasket?) that runs along the joint of the fiber glass cap and van body has let go. Has anyone replaced this piece before?

I have included some photos of all of these areas of concern.


Thank you,

Jeff

You may be able to find that cap piece at Recpro or other sites that sell transition strips and caps. On the fiberglass roof, on a camper that old, I would use Eternabond tape after cleaning up the area well and using the prep spray they sell. I would not seal the finer cracks but clean the area up and perhaps use one of the fiberglass coatings several companies sell. Paint really. Or use Henry's Tropicool on it.
