2018 377RLBH Roof Sealant
I want to buy some self leveling roof sealant to be ready for covering the inevitable cracks in the roof caulk. I called Jayco and they didn't recommend a specific brand. I am wondering if anyone on here has a recommendation and where to get it.
thanks
Van Sayler

Your dealer, CW, Amazon should all carry Dicor self leveling sealant

^^^What Tom said. I have a couple tubes and some Eternabond Tape that I got for Christmas. I'll be putting on my 377's roof...whenever I get her back from the dealer.

I just carry a bit of eternabond. I did do almost every seam with it this past summer, so I should never have another issue unless, I tear the roof on a branch.

What width Eternabond tape do you recommend for covering seams? 3", 4", or some other width?

I got a roll of the 4" for Christmas...I'll probably use that where the front and rear caps attach. I also have a 2" roll that I keep in the 5er for "when" I hit something and put a hole in the roof! I think for the other seams you could use 2" or 3".

I have a 4" roll for any opp-sees. I ordered a 50' roll of 6" when I did the roof.
The caulking at the front seam at the front cap, was really wild, and I am glad to have the wide stuff. I used the remainder to do the other seams. I did have to narrow a bit for around the Frig roof vent. Other than that, the 6" worked great.

I find the 4" most convenient. It is wide enough for most applications since I can overlap, but also can cut in half to 2" if needed.

Does the 377 have an Alpha roof? My 18 Pinnacle has the Alpha roof, and the owners manual and dealer told me to use the Alpha roof sealant only. Got mine , I the right color, from my dealer.

The 377, or at least my 377, has a rubber roof. Not sure if it’s TPO or EPMD but it isn’t Alpha

My '16 377 roof is Dicor non-Fleece TPO. I believe all the NP are, but won't swear to it.

Got me thinking so I asked Jayco and got the following information back regarding the roof material on my specific 2017 377RLBH...
"Jason the roof material is DiflexII 114.00x420.00 the vendor is Dicor."

I was going to get 8” for just this reason. The cap section is wild.

For those that put Externabond on the front and end seams did you remove the sealant first or just put over it?

I cleaned mine up with some acetone and a rag. Then just wiped clean with damp rag (water only). Put the Eternabond right over the top.
