I need to replace the round vent on my Rv top. IS this the type of sealant I need to make it waterproof?

yes sir after removing the old one or just fitting it around the pipe that's going to be underneath whatever is there
136261
Yes but butyl tape should be put down under the flange of the vent and then use the Dicor over the edge of the vent to seal it further. You may have to remove all of the old butyl tape that is under the vent flange to get the surface clean for reinstall.

yes, but mostly to install penetrations into the roof. like the vent for the black water(toilet) or a nick in the rubber roof. this stuff is self leveling, fills in where you put it, so only put it on the top.

By using an outdoor recepticle box with Gasket you should be ok , however waterproof from a direct spray of water.......Idoubt it

While i have not installed these on a fiberglass roof, it would be no different than on a rubber roof. The inner part of the vent slides down over the vent tube that comes thru the roof of your RV. The 3 screws that come with it fasten the conection together. The cone that seals out the elements simply sits in the roof and can be sealed with most quality RV sealants. After the application is complete and seal is cured, i like to finish the install with Flex Seal spray sealant you see on TV. There is nothing with the install that needs to be screwed into the roof. Enjoy the seasons and fish well.

It has a rubber gasket. The side holes for the hinge wire are too big and not in the right location. Seal is not tight, these will leak air!

If your travel trailer's vent opening measure 14" x 14" and it has a crank hinge the ventline lids should work. However, I recommend that you have a local RV repair shop install it for you, as the installation took my a while to figure out. The accompanying directions were no help to me, really, because these lids can fit a variety of models. In the long run, if you order it and it doesn't fit you should be able to send them back. Hope this helps.

I purchased the Easyway 16" heat sealer and am very happy with it. It has a wire installed and a spare wire and cover. Both wires are flat but I don't know if a round wire would work or if it is even available. Hope this helps

That's what it's made for, this one is very thin. Would only buy double thickness next time, not this one , also most models of fantastic vents have lifetime replacement on the covers, got a new one free from them, call them up with model number.

finally head from our designer. Please see response to your question. thanks, Lee CarCoverkingdomHi Lee,Here's an update: We contacted a vendor who manufacturers an RV with a rubber top and he advised that a Polypropylene cover will not react with the rubber top seal. Only issue is that some covers insulate so well, they can increase the temperature of the roof and cause laminate damage. Our covers do allow for ventilation so I think it would be a personal decision on the buyer's part.Let me know if you have any questions or need anything further?MJ finally head from our designer.

It is installed over the normal Rv vent by drilling small holes in the existing vent flange. Than just bolt in place. Worked well in a heavy rain storm.

We used a standard paint roller when resealing our rv roof. It spreads out on its own, so no need to worry about the small bumps from the roller. As stated in the description, it adheres to metal.

I used it on the fiberglass roof of horse trailer. Stopped the leaks no problem

I cleaned my aluminum RV roof with a broom and some light household cleaning fluid, and let it dry. I installed my Peel n Seal roof in 2010, and it's still looking brand new. Seams are sticking perfectly, and no leaks most importantly. I applied min in October when it was a bit chilly, so I used a heat gun to help melt the adhesive when I rolled it over the roof edge to ensure a good seal. I'm glad I did, as it's held up incredibly well.

I have learned that you cannot go by what type of camper you have. I have 2 different types on my Winnebago and one was installed years after the camper was purchased. You really need to look at what brand of vent you have and the type of hinge it has to match it. Sometimes just going to an RV dealer works best and they will match it up. Doug.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

On mine, I had to scrape off the roof coating the was covering the screws of the old vent, then remove those screws and take off the old vent. That exposed the vent pipe. You simply slide this sewer vent over the vent pipe (be sure to put the bottom cover on the Cyclone vent first), lift the cover as high as possible so you can attach the Cyclone vent to the vent pipe with two small screws that comes with it, then allow the cover to drop down to cover the vent pipe hole in the roof. Be sure to seal around the cover so that water doesn't get in. It was actually very easy for me and works great! Wish I had it sooner and would recommend it to everyone that has a sewer smell coming in their RV.

Kirsten, Maybe you could use this "food grade" silicone. AST-RTV 27110 Food Grade White 100% Silicone Adhesive/Sealant/Instant Gasket, 10.3 oz. Cartridge

I did not use dehumidifier packets such as DampRid prior to covering my boat with the Vortex Heavy Duty cover. There are no vents in the cover however I do not believe I have a 100% water seal on the boat. Its never a bad idea though to use DampRid packets for winter storage of your boat.
