There will be times your pop up camper roof needs rebuilding due to cracks from small accidents or extreme weather conditions. It can be inevitable at times, especially if you use it a lot (or have had it in stock for quite some time).

Either way, it's important to know how to properly rebuild and fix the cracks to have a working roof to keep you protected and warm while camping. Follow these simple steps to rebuild your camper roof

1. Prepare Yourself And Materials
It's time to put on your safety mask, gloves, and goggles. The materials are a toxic, so it's best to wear safety equipment so as not to inhale or get in contact with the fumes.

2. Drill Holes
While this may seem counter-intuitive, drilling holes on the cracks will help keep it from spreading. Drill holes on the cracks with your drill.

3. Roughen Roof
Using a metal file, scrape the roof on and around the cracks. This will help let the filler material stick.

4. Clean Crack Area
With ABS cleaning solvent, clean the cracked areas. This will also help the filler material stick better. It will be easier applying it when there is no dust or sediment around the area. You can also wipe some big particles beforehand.

5. Preparing The Filler
Add one part ABS powder and methyl ethyl ketone powder. Mix it together in a glass container, stir it until it is combined well. Let it sit for a few minutes and use it once it's gooey.

Instead of using the powder mixture, you can also opt to use a rubberized leak stopper. Using the old paintbrush, spread the leak stopper evenly around the cracks and seams.

Cover an inch extra on the sides while sealing vents to avoid slow leaks. Spread it thinly but wide. You can also opt to cover the whole roof to prevent it from leaking, not just the seams and cracks.

If your roof suffers from bigger tears, then fiberglass repair tape is a recommended solution. After spreading the leak stopper or tar, add fiberglass screen tape on the hole, covering it whole.

6. Apply The Filler
Put the mixture on the cracks. You will need to work very quickly, as the mixture dries fast. Add the mixture carefully, and if it spills around other areas, wipe it off quickly to avoid it from damaging other parts of your roof.

And you're done rebuilding and repairing your pop up camper roof! Let it dry for a day or so before you can use it on your next camping trip. This will assure less chance of it breakage or leaking.

You may need help, depending on your skill level when it comes to DIY projects and repair. Either way, it doesn't take much time, so long as you exert effort and follow the instructions.

What's great about this is that you won't need any prior knowledge when repairing the roof. So long as the cracks are nicely filled and done neatly, you will be able to finish this task within the day.
