The Newell Project Begins: Roof Is Leaking??
What happens here
Moving to the exterior, the creator identifies a large side panel on the RV where the original sealant has deteriorated, describing it as 'fubarred'. He explains that the old, hardened 'crud' (sealant) needs to be removed from these seams. He highlights that the structural components of the RV consist of an aluminum skin, foam insulation, and a plywood wall, and that the compromised sealant allows water to penetrate these layers. He prepares to begin the process of carving out the old sealant.
Goal: Clear away degraded sealant from exterior seams to prepare for new application.
