Roof repair
We had an early winter storm recently and we had some branches snap off the tree above our TT. We had a small puncture in the vinyl about the size of a quarter. The hole is right along the back edge of the roof.

Any recommendations on whether I should use tape or a liquid sealant?

Is this the vinyl on a hybrid or pop up trailer?

The roof on a regular trailer is either TPO, or EPDM material and is best patched with Eternabond tape. It's a forever fix.

Can you post a picture? There are videos that outline and detail patching a hole like that.

I have done much bigger ones that have held for years.
