I didn’t go down I-205, I went east on I-84, then south. I was in the Portland area for a couple weeks but spent all my time on the east side this time. Sorry that your subscription didn’t take, I’ve installed a new provider applet but it’s now broken too. Trying to figure it out now.
I just found a link to your website on RV.net. At times I really enjoy a good read. Right now today, I don’t have time to read the entire blog, I’m working on my HM getting it ready to GO!
I didn’t want to loose track of what appears to be an account from a like-minded individule. Good luck with your travels and I hope to meet you down the road sometime!

Thanks Dan, hope you enjoy my Blog…sorry I didn’t answer earlier but Word Press didn’t notify me (this blog software is suppose to do that!) of your comment for some reason.
hello, i love your channel. I read you post on your winnebago roof radius repair using Eternabond. I think that job came out beautiful. I have a 2005 journey 32T that i love. I have owned it since 2019. i did not know about the roof radius issue untill about 8 months ago. I was going to reseal this spring but recently going over a curb at my driveway about a 3 foot section of roof came out of the channel on the right side near the entry door. the sealent on both sides are shot. My question to you are you still happy with the eternabond ? i have full body paint but would be willing to use the black 4″ or 6″ tape to do this repair. my coach is Almond color and black from the ground will not be that bad. im almost 59 and 350 lbs and my days of going up on a ladder are over. i love this motorhome as its my first and enjoy camping with my wife and daughter so much. thank you for any feedback and keep up this great site, Michael
Thank you for the kind words!
Yes! I’m still happy with the Eternabond edge application. I applied the Eternabond, 2″, white, to the roof edges in Feb. 2017. I can see the roof edges from the ground and here in late 2022 they still look great. I was up on the roof back in Sept. 2022 and inspected the tape topside too, and again, still looks good. So 5 years of not having to worry about the roof being ripped off so far. More years expected, knock on wood.
If it does ever start to come off (and that can happen if the RV is racked too many times or too aggressively), I know I would hold it down with a temporary fix (grey tape), then head for Mexico and try to find a handyman like I did back in ’17 for a cleanup and reinstall of the Ebond. There have been some driveways I’ve attempted where I did sweat it a little because of the racking but I always take it really slow over something like that if I see it in time. Then I check the roof from the ground as soon as I can, and from up topside when appropriate.
Good luck with your installation, hire a handyman, give him my blogs link so he can read up on it. Remember I didn’t have much in the way of goo slathered all over the edge like some people have, so cleaning was easy. Pulled off the old, professionally applied OEM Silicone (or whatever it was), scrubbed with an alcohol soaked rag, scrubbed some more with a bristle brush. Apply the Ebond, use the roller tool to roller it down solid. All on a fair weather day.
