Help with small leak around tv antenna

[chiefcop]

We have a small leak around the tv antenna of our tt. Any suggestions on what can be used to seal it?

Liquid Rubber/Roof sealant.

I have also used the Elastomeric rubber roof stuff you can get at Home Depot and it has worked well in sealing my entire roof on my huntng trailer.

You can also use Eternabond. Whatever you decide to use make sure it is compatible with your roof material.

... and clean the ever loving heck out of the mating surfaces!

BTW, I used Kool-Seal to coat my entire roof on the moho... two thick coats and lots of fiberglass mesh around penetrations really did the job.

I'd just use some silicone caulk - you can buy it anyplace, including your RV dealer. Check the caulking around the antenna mount, clean it and smear some around where it looks like it's cracked. You should go up on the roof every spring and inspect all the seams, recaulking where necessary. I also clean the roof every spring with rubber roof cleaner - can get this at Wally World or your RV dealer.

If you have a rubber roof, silicone caulk will shrink and may tear your roof. Be careful.

Okay, I went out and looked at the caulk I got for the roof last year, and it's not silicone - it's butyl rubber, so I stand corrected. I still swear by the rubber roof cleaner from Wally World, though.
