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

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.

Worked very well to easily and securely seal the light fixture.
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)

See what our Experts say about this Alpha Systems RV Roof Repair
- Where Is Alpha Systems Butyl Tape ManufacturedAlpha Systems Q130 Butyl Tape for RVs # AL28FJ is manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana.
view full answer... - Recommended Butyl Tape And Sealant For Installing A MaxxAir RV Roof VentI recommend the Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing # AL28FJ as it's 1" wide to fully cover the flange of your vent. Make sure you overlap the ends to form a tight waterproof seal. You can see me doing this at 2:50 mark in the attached video below. As for the sealant, I recommend the Alpha Systems 1021 Self-Leveling Sealant for RVs # AL98KV. One tube of this will be enough to fully cover the screws and layer it down to the roof to ensure you don't have a water leak.
view full answer... - Recommended Exterior Ladder For A 2016 Forest River Wildwood M-27RKSS Travel TrailerIf 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 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 and 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...
view full answer... - Slide Out Topper Extrusion Rail Placement When A Rain Gutter Is In The WayThe 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... - Is There A Furrion Tankless Water Heater With A 16" x 18" DoorYes, 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... - Replacement Water Heater Going From Atwood G10-3E Tank To Tankless Water HeaterMy recommendation is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 18" x 18" Door, part # FR68SR. This water heater comes with a wall thermostat to adjust the water temperature down to the degree. I recommend using the Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing - 20' x 1" x 3/16", part # AL28FJ, to seal the area around the backside flange area and holes. You will not have to enlarge the door area, but you will have to anchor the new door to the flange...
view full answer... - Slide Topper Awning Ordering WidthsIf your slide out, at its widest point (measured at the outside of the flanges/T-molding) is 12'-1" then I would recommend the next size up. Having a couple of inches on each side is helpful. In this case I would select the Lippert/Solera # LCV000177334 (black) or # LCV000163298 (white) which measures 12'-6" wide. If it were me, I would install the Alpha Systems # AL28FJ butyl tape between the awning rail and camper body.
view full answer... - Sealing the Valterra Entry Door Window Frame AssemblyThe Valterra frame and glass you refer to, # A77051 does not include the seal, it is the frame, glass, and mounting hardware as stated on the product page. I recommend you use Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing, # AL28FJ as this creates a long-lasting, weatherproof gasket to fill gaps between your RV's outer hull and the mounting points for vents, windows, and doors. The Lippert Replacement Window Frame with Seal for RV Entry Doors, # LC363370 is for glass dimensions of 12"...
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... - Powered Awning Replacement PartsThe only other part you will need if you don't have it already is the Solera Awning Rail Extrusion - Black - 8' Long # LC715217. That will let you connect the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning - 13' Wide - Extra-Long 9'8" Projection - Black Fade # LCV000334926-362243 fabric to the RV if you do not already have one. And just in case you need to seal anything up you can use Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing - 20' x 1" x 3/16" # AL28FJ. This will be all you need to install this...
view full answer... - Can A Maxxair Roof Vent Be added To A 2000 Starcraft Venture 1706 Pop Up CamperAdding a vent to your 2000 Starcraft Venture 1706 Pop Up camper requires a few things. The roof opening has to be at least 14" x 14" and the roof thickness has to be between 2" to 6-1/2" thick. If you are replacing a current vent you can remove the inside garnish to measure the opening. A few other things I recommend when installing a new fan. You need 2 of the LaSalle Bristol XTRM Universal Self-Leveling Sealant - White - Qty 1 Item # 34427034145-1. This is used to seal around the top...

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...
