Common Causes of RV Roof Damage in Colorado:

Common RV Roof Components:

An RV roof typically consists of several layers of materials that work together to provide protection against the elements. The specific components of an RV roof can vary depending on the type and age of the RV, as well as the manufacturer's design.

The following are some of the most common components found in an RV roof:

• Substrate: The substrate is the bottom layer of the RV roof and provides the base for the rest of the roof layers. It's typically made of plywood or particleboard and can vary in thickness.
  
• Insulation: The insulation layer helps regulate the temperature inside the RV and provides some soundproofing. It's usually made of foam or fiberglass.
  
• Decking: The decking layer is typically made of a lightweight material such as aluminum or fiberglass and provides additional support to the RV roof.
  
• Membrane: The membrane layer is the outermost layer of the RV roof and provides protection against the elements. It's typically made of rubber, PVC, or TPO and is available in different colors and thicknesses.
  
• Sealant: The sealant is used to seal the edges and seams of the RV roof to prevent water from seeping in. It's usually made of silicone or other materials that can withstand exposure to the elements.
  
• Accessories: RV roofs may also include accessories such as vents, skylights, and air conditioning units that are mounted onto the roof.
  

Maintaining Your RV Roof in Colorado

To help the roof of your RV last as long as possible it's important to take proper care of it. Remember, prevention is always the best cure when it comes to RV roof repair.

Here are some tips for maintaining your RV roof and preventing damage:

• Regularly inspect your roof for damage. Make sure to check the seams and edges of the roof, as these are the areas most likely to be damaged.
• Clean your roof regularly. Use a soft-bristled brush or pressure washer to remove any debris, dirt, or grime that has accumulated on the surface.
• Clean snow from your RV roof. The western slope of Colorado, including Arvada, Broomfield, Thornton, and the surrounding areas can get a lot of heavy snow in the winter. It's important that you don't let too much snow accumulate. The weight of the snow can cause structural damage, and the water of the melting snow is a constant attack against the roof and other accessories.
• Avoid walking on the roof as much as possible. The roof of an RV is not designed to support a lot of weight, and walking on it can cause roof damage.
• Trim overhanging branches. Overhanging branches can scratch or damage the roof of your RV, so make sure to trim them regularly, and avoid them whenever possible.
• Use covers when storing your RV. If you're storing your RV for an extended period, use a cover to protect it from the elements. When you are ready to take your RV out of storage, check us out for winterization/de-winterization.
• Invest in regular roof maintenance. Consider hiring a professional to inspect and maintain your RV roof regularly. A professional can spot potential issues before they become more significant problems and prevent further damage.
