I cleaned and resealed my skylight and vent with Eternabond but it lifted in a couple spots where one piece overlapped another. Water pooled and leaked in. Wasn't very happy that the E-bond lifted but am not going to blame the tape though I did my best to clean and prep the surfaces. Not sure weather to just clean and tape over the lift spots or what. Sure think the e-bond would be a PITA to peel off the rubber roof.
Sorry, don't mean to high jack........just wanted to throw my experience at you.

What is the best way to reseal the AC unit? Does Eternabond work for that application?

Be sure to use a new gasket. 5 years is the life of the gasket which comes with a peel and stick to the roof. Caulk or ebond around the gasket. The A/C weighs about 105# so after it is unbolted and the wires disconnected from the camper, it is a 2 person job to get a correct reposition on reinstalling.....unless you are king Kong

Well, we are getting there,, almost done, I did take off the two vents for the holding tanks and cleaned up all the old caulk and then painted them vents with Krylon,, they look great now.
BUT and you knew there was a BUT,, what do I use under these vents PRIOR to installing the eternabond over the top of the screws and on the edges ?
What was there was pliable and grey in color..
I have dicor ,, but I do not think that is what was there.
One of these vents is real close to the outer edge of the roof and requires some form of caulk under it for sure,, the other is in almost flat area.
Thanks for suggesting the eternabond, real slick and real easy to work with ,, in fact the DW has done it all by herself,, she is a keeper!!
