Jayco slide out tape

On my 2013 Eagle on the top side of the slide out along the front there is tape that runs the length of the slide out. In a couple of places it looks like is starting to come loose. I want to replace it before it’s leaks. What would the recommendations be for tape? I’ve looked at eturnabond and that expensive but if that’s what I should use I use that.

When I took ours in for its initial service they found a potential issue on the slide roof at the end. They applied a piece of that tape along the front edge one side to the other an it hasn't budged. That was 4 yrs ago.
Spend the money, apply, an forget it

eternabond. Probably last longer than you'll have the unit.

Much cheaper than water damage and you don't have to worry about it coming off for the most part. Just part of regular inspection checks.

As mentioned, Eternabond is the best sealer tape to use for the slide roof flange seam application......, I've used Eternabond on my present and prior TT slide roof seam.

It's best to remove all of the cheap existing tape, not just the spots where it's coming loose. I found using a heated blow dryer aids in removing the existing tape.
