Start of our new roof

This summer we noticed a water leak on the inside rear wall and the outside Big Foot control compartment at the front of our HitchHiker.  Judy climbed onto the roof and saw the Eternabond tape between the front and back caps to the rubber roof had deteriorated.  We decided that rather than a quick and economical fix (replace the tape and caulk) we'd get a new lifetime roof so we don't have to get up there to check it or caulk it anymore.  In addition we don't have to be concerned about future rubber roof problems or new leaks.  It's much more expensive but has a lifetime warranty and needs no maintenance. 

 Here's Dave & Barb's setup at our site, they are the contractors doing the work.  He removed the vent covers, A/C covers and dish then cleaned the roof really good while Barb rinsed the dirt off the sides.

Below he's taping the edges to keep the coatings off the places it doesn't belong.

He uses a brush to do the cut in then rollers the large open areas.

Here's the roof at the end of the second day, this first coat preps the original rubber roof for the next two coats.  It rained in the afternoon so they only got half a day's work done.

He is tuff, it's in the mid to high 80s and very humid.  No way I can work outside in the sun in this weather!!  Wait until you see his next hat!
