seal

As I more closely inspect this 2021 FR I find I am really finishing the build for the factory. I’ve often read that these new trailers don’t hold up, and compared to my 1996 Georgie Boy the quality is not the same. BUT some basic care and craftsmanship I think these new trailers will hold up...

We have a 2015 Coachman Prism. We just discovered that the permanent skylight above the windshield ( NOT the electric skylight behind this one) is BARELY attached and caused some interior damage before we discovered it. Is this something that may be addressed as a manufacturer's defect? Or a...

Reading up on treating my slide seals. Seen video suggesting treating seals with baby powder? Also the various spray products. Some say use nothing greasy. Some use Amorall. Bit confusing to me and sure Ill get many opinions here but gonna ask. ???

I wanted to see what everyone uses for the sealant around the exterior of the camper. Specifically the cable panels, electrical covers, pass through doors. I had to remove the cable outlet to repair it and it looks like it had silicone caulking but everything I read says not to use silicone. I...

Where can I find the Sealant Chart for my 2018 XLR BOOST? Other manufacturers have them on their websites, can't find it on Forest River's.

I have pulled the windows out to seal and used butyl tape, the leak worse now then before. Should I be using new screw holes to get a tighter seal? I have ordered some of the foam core butyl to try again...Ugh!!!

Hi All, General maintenance question here. I am checking all of my seals and applying lap sealant and Dicor as needed. None of the screws holding on my gutters are covered with any kind of sealant. Should they be? Is it necessary or is there a reason why they shouldn't be sealed? Thanks for...

Hi there. New owner of FR3 30DS. So far so good Any recommendations on lubricants for the slide (and how to apply) and sealants for roof (Dicior)? New at this and appreciate the info

We bought a 2007 Surveyor SV 235RS, I have found leak in the corners of the bedroom slide, can I get some suggestions for sealant and sealant tape, and possibly could someone point me to a thread to use it? We are doing some minor remodeling and restoring on our little camper, to be expected on...

The bottom seal on the shower door in our 8289WS has torn. Has anyone replaced these and if so where did you get the replacement?

I found a few spotty spots on my roof I'd like to add a little more sealant to. Nothing leaky (yet) but they look unfinished. How do I know what type of sealant is right for my roof?

I have a 2018 cedar creek 29re. Is it common to have a tear on the D-seal? I have conditioned all seals frequently. The top seal is torn away from the edge on one side.

I am having a hard time getting the cap (cover) off the end of the drain pipe before dumping black tank. Is there a lubricant you can put on the black cap rubber seal so it will turn easier. I have one of those wrenches to twist the cap off, but thought a lubricant would help. I have a 2018...

We have a 2012 Forest River Surveyor Anniversary Ed. We bought it second hand last summer. Most people leave their RVs at the park during the winter after winterizing them. We show shoed into the camper several times over the winter to check on it and the last visit we noticed a dent/break in...

I need to remove a window to do some filon work, do I use butyl tape when I go back or something else? Thanks

Hi. My 2016 Flagstaff MicoLite 23LB needs a new roof vent I think. It is the forward vent. It seems really loose and the seal the vent closes on is worn out and misshapen. I don't know how to find the right replacement part. (misshapen: not having the normal or natural shape or form. had to...

Any info on this forum about how to replace the upper seal on a 2018 cedar creek silverback 29re?

I am going to put on some new stripes and I want to remove hatches and exterior shower to make it easier. What chemical would clean off the caulking around these items? Thanks

I have been working for what feels like months (although only about a week) with our local RV dealer to find the replacement seal for the back drop-down bed for our Shamrock 21SS. I thought I would reach out to the larger world of hybrid ownership and see if you all might have any insight or...

This is the 6th season for our RV and I finally have some time to perform some maintenance that has been in queue for a while. One of those items is to try and make the storage compartments more water tight. Since we've moved and now have the RV parked someplace new and it now sits with a...

Hello, Trying like heck to find out what the soft black caulking is between the front cap meeting the sidewall on a 2021 Salem Cruise Lite. Could not get an answer at the dealership. It has some cracks I’d like to fill. I thought to remove some where it bulges to fill the lean areas, as a...

I have a small area where the sealant has come loose on the the frame around the slideout of my 2108DS. The frame is attached to the outer wall of the trailer. What sealant would you recommend?

Does anyone know how to adjust the seal on the top right side freezer door. It is a norcold 121x model. I can tell from all the condensation inside that air is leaking in. It has always been this way. The manual says take it to the dealer...
