Hi everyone. I'm a full timer and have a 2013 Bighorn 3010RE. I'm in Nashville and have been in 2 storms here which have caused the overhead trees to drop small branches, etc on the roof. I now have a sudden roof leak (water started coming out around one of the overhead LED light fixtures in the middle of today's storm). Never thought I would have to fight this kind of battle so soon. I suspect something fell on a seam or joint and broke the seal. Just a guess at this point.

Anyway, I need to find the leak, which brings me to my question. Can someone tell me what kind of roof I have ? And maybe what will work best to seal the leak ? I've heard great things about Eternabond. Will it work on roofs made of any material ? Or do I want some kind of self-leveling liquid sealer ?

Thanks

Your roof is EPDM rubber.
Yes Eterabond is great product for making small roof repairs. I have a few on my roof.
I've always thought about adding Decor self leveling caulk over the patches but never got around to it.

Peace

The roof is rubber-like sheet made by a company called Dicor. Check out their website for more details and info: http://www.dicorproducts.com/catalo...ation-products/brite-ply-epdm-rubber-roofing/ . Heartland buys it in a long 8 foot wide roll they stretch across the roof and cut to length.

If you are serious about looking for leak sources, you might want to investigate the Sealtech testing process that air pressurizes the interior of your rig, then techs spray bubble solution on all of the outside surfaces to detect the leak points. There is a link to find local places with the testing equipment on the website.
