Title: Who resealed your LDs Aluminum roof? No leaks but it's 20 years old....
Post by: treelee on April 11, 2024, 07:54:57 pm
We purchased our 2004 30ft IB LD roughly 2 years ago, now we are living the dream. So very very happy with the purchase. Our roof doesn't leak but we would really like to have it resealed. [WE REALLY WANT THE MOTHERSHIP TO REOPEN, at least for service, we would do it there]. Any who, does any one know of a reputable company that will reseal a Lazy Daze aluminum roof? If it's horribly expensive we'll just take out another loan to get it done. Thanks

It isn't hard to do yourself using Eternabond.
Just be careful as once it gets put down it won't come back off easily.

Ditto what jota said. It's a pretty simple job and there are tons of posts here on the steps to get it done: Essentially:
1. Clean the roof;
2. Snap a chalk line;
3. Lay down the 4" Eternabond.

If you need someone to do it, I would think any RV shop or a handyman could take care of it for you.

When I did mine I only resealed the side and front seams. I don't see any reason to seal the protrusions like vent pipes and so on.

You might try the place where Vince, former service manager for LD, was working a few years ago.   No idea if he's still there.

A friend of mine just had a bunch of body work, including some limited repainting, done on their midbath at Leisure Coachworks, and said Vince was great. Having seen the results, I can attest that the work was very well done.

Vince and Leisure Coachworks are awesome, highly recommended. I'm the one who recently had some bodywork done there. I'm so pleased with their high quality work. (Hi, Andy!)

Here's a tip if you do decide to have any work done at Leisure Coachworks. If it's your first time there, ask for the first-timer's discount of 10%.

That said, I agree with Jota and Jor about resealing with Eternabond. I did my own roof years ago. I was sure sore afterwards because of all the kneeling and ladder work, but it was worth it.
