Question:

Rubber RV Roof Maintenance?

What maintenance do you normally do to the rubber roof found on today's motor homes? I read conflicting views on the cleaners and treatments and would greatly appreciate some of your experiences both good and bad. The roof material is EPDM and the motor home is 3 years old. It will be stored under cover but in the freezing weather of Alaska. Anything special that should be noted? Thanks.

Answer:

We kept all of our first child's clothes (which was good because two years later she got a baby sister and so we got to use a lot of them as hand-me-downs). We still keep some of their clothes but we moved recently and got rid of a lot of old clothes (to Goodwill and friends with newborns) that we didn`t ened any more. We have about 2 rubbermaid containers now in the basement of special clothes that were the kids` when they were little. We kept the carseat so that, if we had more kids, we could reuse. We ended up using the same carseat for our first two girls, then bought another for the third We kept the swing and bouncer as well just because we though we would want them for subsequent kids. We ended up getting rid of both of them a few years back because my husband was complaining that it took up too much space in the basement. We ended up buying a new swing recently because we just had another baby 7 months ago and we wanted her to have one as well.
Most building codes require that smoke detector are hard wired, so finding a replacement should not be a problem. As for changing it out, it depends on your comfort level if you want to do it or not. Since it is hardwired you can always shut the breaker off, killing all power to it. After that it is just a matter of matching the colored wires together (white to white, black to black and so on). It is a pretty simple job and should only take about 10 minutes. If you hire it done it will still only take them about ten minutes, but they will probably charge you a minimum of a hour just for showing up.
The last thing I want is some redneck firing blanket of bullets . Most that would do that are bad shots. The rest of us have more sense.
I think the problem would eventually take care of itself!
