Butyl tape is an essential tool for weatherproofing marine and RV components. This sturdy material creates a long-lasting, weatherproof gasket to fill gaps between your RV's outer hull and the mounting points for vents, windows, and doors.
Features:
- Butyl tape functions as a gasket for a weatherproof seal when mounting RV or marine components
- Sticks to the underside of mounting brackets and installation points before pressing into place on your RV or boat
- Provides for greater protection from the elements than using sealant alone
- Prevents the intrusion of moisture into nail or screw holes
- Adhesive works on most nonporous materials including roofing membranes and metal
- Won't crack, harden, or shrink
- Can be applied in temperatures from -5 degrees F to 120 degrees F
- Easy to use - press tape firmly to first surface, remove backing, and then press onto second surface for an even seal
- Applies best to clean and dry surfaces
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Quantity: 1 roll
- Dimensions: 20' long x 1" wide x 3/16" thick
- Application temperature range: -5 F - 120 F
- Colors may vary
- 1-Year limited warranty
Butyl tape is used primarily as a gasket for preventing moisture from leaking into your RV around cutouts in the hull for vents, doors, windows, and wiring outlets. Butyl tape is widely used by RV manufacturers because of its high performance and durability. It does not dry out and crack over time, and its strong adhesive quality means it sticks and stays in place on smooth surfaces.
Butyl tape is most often used in conjunction with sealants to create the highest level of weatherproofing to prevent leaks and ongoing damage. It's ideal for use in areas where fixtures need to be drilled, nailed or bolted into place. The rubbery material keeps those openings sealed and free from water damage. While this is great for those who do their own repairs and upgrades, butyl tape is also good to have on hand to make temporary repairs. The tacky material can plug up any problem areas and hold strong, so you don't have to cut your trip short.

Product is awesome. However the way it was packaged made the product unusable so it wasn’t shipping problems it is packaging problems.

I used this butyl tape for marine application. It's butyl tape plain and simple. Seals deck and port light fittings as expected. Fair price for the product.
by: Eric 03/10/2023
Very sticky! I actully went around the vent opening twice. Very flexible, I was able to mold it around the corners so there is only one seam, which I was able to smoosh togethter so there is no chance of water getting through.

Worked as advertised and shown on [onine videos]

I changed out the OEM bathroom fan with a Maxxair variable speed fan and used this tape for sealing the surface on the roof. It worked wonderfully!

Used it under brackets to seal screw holes through the roof when installing a solar panel on our trailer. Does what it is supposed to do. Comes in a 20' roll where we only needed about 8" of it. Oh well, now we have plenty if there is further need for weatherproofing.
by: Mark 12/15/2022
i am very happy with this product and any other purchases I've made in the past on this site for our camper. I can always count on etrailer for anything im looking for !!! thanks so much for everything.
by: Jennifer 08/21/2022
Used this tape on some replacement skylights. It’s a little tricky to get on as it is not rigid. I found cutting to length prior to applying worked best for me. I found that in the end it was very forgiving.
by: Lance02/21/2022
Overall it was good. The only issue was the shipping. I paid for 3 to 5 day shipping and according to your tracker it wasn't Evan pulled from the shelves till after 5 days of the order and I received the order 5 days after that. One on the items in the shipment was stuck to the box and needed a little protection. (pic included)

view full answer... - Recommended Tankless Water Heater Replacement For A 2012 Keystone MontanaWaste valves aren't really trailer year/make/model specific so the year of your trailer wouldn't be a factor. The only thing that's really important is just ensuring that you're choosing the correct size; 3" for black and 1-1/2" for gray. As for replacing the water heater, there's no guide out there that will tell us anything in your trailer so while I do recommend switching over to the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR you'll need to measure your current water heater to find the...
view full answer... - Recommended Exterior Ladder For A 2016 Forest River Wildwood M-27RKSS Travel Trailer If you're wanting to add on a ladder to your 2016 Forest River Wildwood M-27RKSS Travel Trailer then the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder w/ Hinges - Aluminum - 99-1/2" Tall x 12" Wide # LA-401 you were looking at would be a great option. This ladder is a universal fit that can easily be cut down to fit the height of your trailer. I do recommend picking up some butyl tape # AL28FJ and some non-sag sealant # AL28KV to ensure that you don't have any water leaking in through your mounting...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Dometic Sunchaser Awning Model 834AV21.401To replace your Polar Blue Horizon 21' Dometic Sunchaser awning you'll need the Solera XL 12V Power RV Awning - Blue Fade # LC75FR. At this length you'll want to also get a Solera Awning Cradle Support - White # LC289373 (black # LC289374) to help prevent the middle of the awning from sagging or wagging in the wind when on the road. You'll also want to pick up some butyl tape # AL28FJ to seal up each mounting screw hole while installing the awning.
view full answer... - Are Replacement Parts Available For A 2018 Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer RV Water Heater Unfortunately there is no guide available for the public to know exactly what water heater was installed inside of your 2018 Forest River R-Pod. That being said, the most commonly installed units during this time were either Atwood or Dometic. There should be some sort of sticker/label on the unit itself or on the inside of the access door listing the brand and model number so that we can try to find some parts. If it's Dometic model there's the possibility that you can still get replacements...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GC10A-4E RV Water Heater At this point all Atwood water heaters are discontinued and out of stock so you'd have to switch to a different option like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR. Since water heaters have gotten much smaller in size (12-5/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 19-1/4" deep) versus the GC10A-4E's 16" wide x 15-1/2" tall x 21" deep dimensions you'll have to frame in the cutout hole a bit to install a new water heater. It doesn't have to be fancy since you'll be covering it all up with the access...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting An Atwood G6A6 RV Water Heater Unfortunately Atwood has gone out of business and all of their replacement parts are secondhand at this point so you'd be looking at replacement of the entire unit. To me it sounds like an issue with the T-Stat since it is heating and then shutting off. You could try looking around but you might end up getting priced gouged for a simple parts since there aren't many available. If you instead have to replace the entire unit then I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater...

- How Much Work Is It To Swap Out A Dual Water Inlet With The Valterra lockable Dual Water InletThe Valterra Lockable Dual RV Water Inlets # A01-2000VP is very similar in size but without knowing the actual cutout hole dimensions it's not possible to know if you'll need to make modifications. This dual inlet box requires a 5-7/8" wide x 4-3/4" tall cutout hole. Worst case scenario you would have to trim the cutout hole a bit larger to fit this new inlet box in place. You'll want to use butyl tape # AL28FJ on the mounting flange and non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the outer...
view full answer... - Replacement For A Furrion FWHO9A-AM Tankless RV Water Heater Furrion/Lippert love to change the part numbers constantly on their products so it can be a bit tricky to find exactly what you're looking for if you don't know the right places to look. The FWHO9A-AM refers to the unit without the door, which would be part # FR93FR for our website. If you need the door as well then we have the following sizes: 16" x 16" Door # FR98SR 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR 18" x 18" Door # FR68SR If you plan on completing the installation yourself you'll also need...
view full answer... - Slide Out Topper Extrusion Rail Placement When A Rain Gutter Is In The Way The C-Channel of the extrusion rail that your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168106 is going to slide into needs to be placed 3-inches above the slide out flange. If you can get close to 3-inches by butting the C-Channel up against the gutter then you'll be fine. If you're only getting 2" then I personally would remove the gutter and raise it to give your slide topper enough room to mount correctly. Make sure that you place some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the back of the interior brackets...
view full answer... - Determining The Correct Replacement Round RV Roof Vent For A 2021 Nucamp T@B 400 There isn't a guide to tell us how large the round vent is in your 2021 Nucamp T@B 400 so I'll first need you to measure the cutout hole diameter so that we can confirm a proper fitment. For example, the MaxxFan Dome Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-03812B you were looking at requires a 6-1/4" diameter cutout hole in order to mount. This fan comes with a bug screen and rain shield so that it can be open the whole time you're setup at your campsite. You will need to pick up some butyl tape #...
view full answer... - Recommended 12v Fan For Keeping A Horse Trailer CoolWith you trying to run off of just 12v power you're going to limited to just roof vents with a 12v fan to cooler your horse trailer. There isn't a similar option to the # KH43100 without the heater that would be anything other than a simple desk fan. I recommend installing the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-06401K (Black) or # MA00-05301K (White). These vents come with a 12v fan with 4 speeds to exhausts hot air out or circulates air like a ceiling fan when the vent is closed. They have...
view full answer... - Can You Buy Half Of An RV Ladder To Replace The Original On A 1993 Four Winds Class C MotorhomeThe only ladders we currently carry are a universal style, with only a few minor differences in height and paint jobs. You can get the endcaps, support legs, and replacement steps for the Stromberg Carlson Exterior RV Ladder # LA-401, but you can't get just half of the ladder alone. If you do end up replacing your ladder with this I highly recommend sealing up your mounting holes with butyl tape # AL28FJ and some silicone sealant.
view full answer... - Is There A Furrion Tankless Water Heater With A 16" x 18" Door Yes, the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR is exactly what you're looking for. I recommend picking up some butyl tape # AL28FJ and non-sag sealant # AL28KV to use along the mounting flange to form a proper watertight seal.
view full answer... - Do Fogatti Tankless Water Heaters Come With Trim Kits To Cover Larger Holes Hey Rodney, The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR unfortunately does not come with a trim kit to fill in the excess gap left behind from an old larger Atwood model. Instead I recommend going with a Furrion unit for a larger door and better quality performance. Furrion's units come with the following door sizes: 16" x 16" # FR98SR 16" x 18" # FR48SR 18" x 18" # FR68SR I've attached a video below where Jake had to fill in the gap from a larger unit to help give you a better...

This Light bar has an easy tilting adjustment to get the perfect angle for more visibility. It has two brackets that come with bolts for you to easily attach it to the trailer wall or roof. Regardless of where you mount I do recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the brackets to ensure a watertight...
view full answer... - Recommended RV Water Inlets For A 2005 Exiss Horse TrailerHey Lagina, If you're just looking for a water inlet then we have single (city water or potable water) or dual inlet options available. For a gravity fill water tank inlet you can use # A01-2003VP (white) or # A01-2003BKVP (black). We also offer lockable versions so others can't mess with your water inlets # A01-2002VP (white) or # A01-2002BKVP (black). For city water inlets we offer the # A01-0170LFVP (white) and # A01-0169LFVP (black) with surface mount flanges. For recessed flanges...

For the 86" measurement you would need part # Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168106. I recommend picking up some butyl tape # AL28FJ to prevent water from leaking into the walls of your trailer through the mounting screws.

You would just need to cut back some of the caulking around the gutter and remove a screw or two so that you can peel a couple inches of the gutter away from the wall to slip the flat rectangle portion of the extender behind the gutter and then press the gutter back up against the wall and screw it...
view full answer... - Can I Mount A Heater And AC Unit On The Top Of My Cross Trailer.I would go with the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box, Start Capacitor, and Heat Strip - 15,000 Btu # ACM150CH. You will need to make sure your trailer roof is capable of holding this unit(94 pounds) and the people who will be installing it. In the area it will be installed it will need a roof thickness of at least 2-1/2 inches to mount and a 14x14 inch hole. You will see in the videos attached how to accomplish this. It has a heat strip that can put out 5,500 BTUs...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Water Heater for an Atwood G6A6 Hey Bruce, I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR to replace your Atwood G6A6 water heater. This water heater has a 60,000 btu rating which is quite the step up from what you have currently, is a tankless unit so it'll provide hot water on demand (whenever you need it), and will produce up to 144 gallons of hot water per hour. You're also going to want to get some butyl tape # AL28FJ for the unit and access door mounting flanges, as well as some sealant #...
view full answer... - Installing A SmartPlug RV Power Inlet On A 2020 Airstream Caravel 19CB Travel TrailerHi Paul, You can definitely swap out your current power inlet to the SmartPlug RV and Marine Power Inlet # SM67FR, but you might need to make some adjustments to the cutout hole. Most of the SmartPlug inlets I've installed have all been fairly close to fitting to where I may have only needed a file to help with centering the inlet in the circle cutout by filing little notches for the square corners of the new inlet. A lot of the time they just pop in though. I've attached a video below...
view full answer... - Recommended Slide Out Awning For An 81 Flange To Flange MeasurementThe Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 7'1" Wide - 48" Projection - Black # LCV000165062 you were looking at already is the correct size for your 81" flange to flange measurement. This specific awning has a fitment range of 80" - 85" so you can expect a total overhang (including the arms) of approximately 4.5" on each side. As long as you have enough clearance on both sides of the slide out so that this topper doesn't come into contact with anything you'll be good to go. If you do have something...

The top portion of the ladder is approximately 52-1/2" (not including the very top rails that mount to the roof) and the bottom is approximately 48" (including the bend). I recommend measuring the front before and after the bump out first to be certain of fitment. If...
