Protect your RV from hidden damage before it costs you
One of the most overlooked parts of RV maintenance is also one of the most expensive to ignore: your roof.
RV roof damage doesn’t always show itself until it’s already caused thousands in repairs. That’s why regular roof inspections — especially before summer heat or rainy seasons — are one of the smartest investments you can make in your rig’s long-term health.
Here’s why RV roof inspections matter, what we look for, and how Murphy Mobile RV Repair can inspect and seal your roof without you ever needing to leave your driveway.
1. Small Cracks Can Lead to Big Leaks
And leaks don’t stay small for long
A tiny crack in your sealant or a soft spot near a vent might not seem like a big deal — until water finds its way in. RVs are especially vulnerable to:
- Roof sealant shrinkage or cracking (from sun/heat exposure)
- Water pooling around vents or skylights
- Mold, mildew, or rot in the sub-roof layers
- Wall or ceiling damage from slow leaks
By the time a leak is visible inside your RV, the damage underneath is usually far worse. A regular roof check can catch these issues early, when they’re cheap and easy to fix.
2. Heat and UV Damage in Orange County Is No Joke
California sun takes a toll
Even if your RV hasn’t seen much rain, the UV exposure in SoCal can dry out your roof’s protective coating, fade sealants, and cause cracking that invites trouble later.
We recommend checking your RV’s roof at least twice a year, especially before and after summer trips or storage.
3. It’s Not Just What You See — It’s What We Check
A full inspection looks deeper than just a quick walkover
When you schedule a roof inspection with Murphy Mobile RV Repair, we check:
- Sealant conditions around every vent, skylight, and edge
- Roof membrane integrity (rubber, fiberglass, or aluminum)
- Signs of bubbling, soft spots, or pooling
- AC shroud condition and vent covers
- Roof ladder and attached accessories
- Underlying signs of leaks inside the rig
If we spot trouble, we’ll show you exactly what we’re seeing and discuss the next steps. We can reseal small problem areas or complete full roof resealing depending on what’s needed.
4. Resealing Can Extend the Life of Your Roof — and RV
Preventative maintenance that actually saves money
When done right, resealing your roof:
- Helps prevent leaks and structural damage
- Prolongs the life of your RV
- Can boost resale value
- Gives you peace of mind before long trips or hot summers
Pricing varies depending on the roof condition, length of your RV, and number of sealant tubes required — but we’re always transparent about the cost before any work begins.
