New RV Roof Vent Replacement + Installing with Butyl Tape

In today’s video, we show you how we replaced all three of our roof vents! The original vents for our RV were not universal, making it very hard to locate new vent covers. Because of this, we decided to remove and replace them all. Great decision!!!

The best process for this is to make sure that when you tear out the old vents, scrape up ALL of the old tar/butyl tape and sealant! You need to have a clean surface for everything to stick to. Though we didn’t show it, we wiped everything down with alcohol before each new step... It’s just a good habit to get into.

Here are the 8 easy steps:

1) Remove the old vent and clean every inch of the roof’s surface
2) Check to make sure the new vent will fit in the hole
3) Apply butyl tape over the pre drilled holes around the edges of the vent
4) Place the vent where it needs to go… make sure it vent opens towards the back of the RV!
5) Drill new holes (if necessary)
6) Secure the vent on the roof with screws (preferably rust resistant)
7) Clean up all of the excess butyl tape from the edges of the vent
8) Seal everything with Dicor self leveling lap sealant.
