When I started this blog, I was a reset merchandiser, traveling the southeast. Now I'm retired, visiting and going to events. Or I was until the pandemic hit. Now I follow weather, going to places I can avoid people. When I started this blog, I'd just moved into a 26' Class C. Since then I've lived in a 32' Class A, a Grand Caravan, and now a B3500 former wheelchair van. All these varied rigs have been right for a particular time in my travels. ~ Gypsy Jane

How do you spell Relief? RV IN SHOP.
The Bad News is - I did a spot test of the Liquid Roof on 10 square feet of my roof. The product is fine but my old rubber was NOT good enough - it came up in ripply lumpy wrinkles and I have no confidence in it readhering when it lies down again. Trust me, I was about ready to scream. I have done many successful do-it-yourself projects before. I have rebuilt cabovers. I have rebuilt a kitchen from floor joists through ceiling. I have built buildings and porches. I'm not nearly as inadequate as I have felt this week.
And the Good News is - this morning I found a professional RV shop willing to take on the project at a price I can afford. That's what I wanted to do in the first place. So the rig went in the shop this morning. It will get a new roof. Still a rubber roof, but new, all in one piece, no leaks. I will sell off my unopened 5 gallon can of Liquid Roof, and life will be good. Now let us all pray that I don't get a phone call next week saying, "uh, Jane, the rig fell apart."
Now I think I hear a guitar calling me.

Fix it right and forget about it. You will have piece of mind after it comes out of the shop.
