Title: Sealing underside of Camper
Post by: eventyr on March 15, 2017, 03:17:08 PM
We are going to be doing a lot of dirt road driving and some creek crossings. While I have sealed the penetrations under the camper (a Goldstream Storm) with copious quantities of silicone, I was also going to give it a couple of coats of sealant paint.

Has anyone done this and can you recommend a sealant paint that will work on both wood, plastic and metal surfaces? Mainly after the wood and plastic!

Cheers
James

Not sure on the price of this stuff but it supposedly works a treat on caravan etc roofs to seal them and keeps the heat out so it should work in some degree under neath to seal timber flooring http://globalcote.com.au/caravan-pack/ (http://globalcote.com.au/caravan-pack/)  .
Normaly I would just paint fibreglass resin on the timber to seal it or give it a few good coats of Ormanoid bitumous paint [ Mongel of a sticky stuff though ] Both can be had at the big green shed .https://www.bunnings.com.au/diggers-1kg-fibreglass-resin_p1565643 (https://www.bunnings.com.au/diggers-1kg-fibreglass-resin_p1565643)  The resin covered aprox two coats of a 2.4m  long x 1.8m ply floor sheets on one side and left aprox 1/4 of a tin over.
1 ltr tin of ormanoid only just covers the same area ^^^  on one side as it soaks into the ply.
