Another small house project while we are at the big house.
Last fall I was on the roof of the motorhome looking for possible water leaks when I noticed several places around the shower bubble which needed to be resealed.
Also discovered the bubble was beginning to crack around some of the screw points. I sealed everything up and started looking for a replacement. Of course it is not a standard size. I found a place in Maine which will make custom sizes out of a thicker material which will also hold up better to UV sunlight. I ordered the part just before Christmas and got it during the third week of January. My plan was to have the cover here so I could change it out during July or August when we have the least amount of rainy days.All to screw holes were broken away from the body of the bubble. It looks like the original installation used self tapping screws drilled with an eighth inch drill. The problems is the threads of the screw then stretched the plastic bubble when they went through the plastic and into the motorhome roof. Over time the stretched plastic weakened and broke as the sun made it brittle.
Every screw was broken.
Here you can see the lining which keeps the water down in the shower area.I took the shower liner out so I could hang my legs down into the shower area while cleaning all the old sealant off the roof. Here is the hole all ready to install the new bubble.
And the finished installation, started at 8:00 am. finished at 2:00. One more project on our small house and we will be ready to head out onto the road.
