Today, we'll be taking a quick look at the butyl tape for enclosed trailers. This is going to be an important part of your installation of a roof air conditioner, a vent, a fan or anything you want me to install your enclosed trailer or RV. The butyl tape is going to create a watertight seal between that accessory and the top of your roof. It also helps to get that adhered to the roof membrane. You can also use this to actually install a new roof membrane on your enclosed trailer.It's made of a synthetic polymer based-material, so it's going to stay flexible even after years of service, but also the adhesion actually improves over time. When you first put this in place, after about 24 hours, it's going to really get tacky, and the longer it stays on there, the better it holds.
It works in the hot, cold, it doesn't really matter.It's nice and pliant. Whenever you're going to install this, you can just tear off the chunk to match the size that you need. It kind of squishes down into place, so whenever you're installing your hardware, typically you'll have your butyl tape down on the roof of your vehicle or whatever you're installing this onto. You put the vent over that with the shroud going over that butyl tape, put it in your hardware, and then seal it off with some self-leveling sealant.Now, the self-leveling sealant, vents, air conditioners, all those kinds of things, you can find all those here etrailer.com if you need to pick any up, including the roof membrane as well. We've got a lot of options here for your additional parts of that install.But this material is going to definitely help to make sure that you have no issues with water leaking in and causing damage to your gear inside your enclosed trailer or the enclosed trailer itself.
Now, this measures 50 feet long. Our butyl tape is 8th of an inch thick and it's 3/4s of an inch wide. You can see it's already kind of tacky right now, and the longer it stays attached to your roof, again, better it's going to adhere. It's made in the USA.And that's going to do it for our look at the butyl tape for enclosed trailers.

Appears to be ok. I haven't used it yet.
It works
The way they package their product creates a lot of chance of being damaged. It was great working with Will!
The service at the trailer was excellen t.
Its butyl tape, looks like it will do the job.
Made install of sideout awning easy. Sealed great.
Ordering was simple, and shipping was quick. The project is still in process so I can't comment of the product.
Exactly as ordered and got here quickly.
Due tyo flopping around loosely inside the large shipping box, the roll was pretty beat-up and misshapen around the outer edges.However, it unrolled OK as long as I was careful to not "get ahead" of myself with the brown paper and the butyl tape, and working to not let the tape stretch longer than its original length.
Applying it to a powder-coated aluminum flat bar, it wanted to stick to my fingers more than the bar, so that part was a bit tricky. Once pressed in place, on the fiberglass side of my trailer, it made what appears to be a water-tight bond, all's well.
Used the Butyl tape to seal off the solar slide out topper in stalled on a 2021 Winnebago micro Minnie. 2108 DS
The tape works well as a sticky place holder while installing the top slide rail and under brackets
The packaging of this butyl tape was horrible. It is usable but will be difficult to use. The pictures shows how bad it is beat up, looks like a potato chip.
Replaced a skylight and used this product between roof and skylight. Next screwed the skylight down and sealed with sealant just like the etrailer video shows. Product adheres nicely and is easy to use. Do not rush your repairs and you should be fine.
product looks good the packaging could be better a little smashed
The tape worked well after I got it back in shape. There wasn’t any packing paper to keep the butyl tape in place during shipment. As instructed by etrailer I let in warm in the sun and it went back into shape beautifully. etrailer gave me the information to help me and would have sent me more if the tape was unusable. Happy customer!
looks good. The vent is lmost an exact match to the old worn out one, That is good.
The product is exactly what I needed.
WORKED GREAT
This stuff is AWESOME! It seals up EVERY screw hole and gap in the trim. It cuts easily, forms to the fit, and sticks to plastic well, so you can put it on a part and then put the part on the camper without needing four hands.
Great product, fast shipping!
