Will the camper ever be moved or does it always sit in one place? I used a product called liquid roof and that stuff was great. If the camper stays at a hunting camp I would just use the cheap stuff from lowes.

Just staying at hunting camp. I got a new lease this year and found a great deal on old camper from a buddy. It had been sitting underneath a shed for the past 10 years and I never thought about it leaking. I opened up the door yesterday and looked like somebody dumped a 55 gallon drum of water in it.

I would build a little shed that it can sit under to protect it from the elements some.

If it's stationary, just put a tarp over it or one of those metal carpets.

What type of roof is it? rubber or metal?

What's the roof made of? The metal roof needs a seam sealer product there's dicor and eternabond tape that is awesome. If fiberglass or epdm use proflex.
And check the holes like air vents a/c hole fridge vent all likely culprits of a leak.

Mytarp.com.A hunting club campers best friend at a fraction of the price.I can usually get about 5-6 years out of the heavy duty tarps from this website.They make em and sell em.

We are using the used vinyl roadside billboards some as big as 35'x14' A guy in my club gets them from Lamar sign for 30$. We Built a skeleton frame roof and covered it with wire fence then covered that with vinyl and held down with felt nails.

Dap 3.0. I re-seal my roof every six. months.
