Is it possible to repair a Coleman ABS roof?
After a lot of research, though, I realized that you could still repair that ABS roof, and, in many cases, the owners of the repaired Coleman ABS roofs were happier with the results than had they gone with a traditional pop up camper roof. We had minimal cracking in our ABS roof.
How do you fix a crack in a Coleman camper roof?
The MEK will melt the ABS powder to the roof and seal the crack. Allow the camper to dry for at least 24 hours. Do not get the ABS/MEK mixture or the ABS clear on the sides of the pop-up. These chemicals will cause the sides to become discolored.
What kind of roof does a Coleman popup trailer have?
Just Google “ Coleman ABS roof repair ” and you will find lots of information. We have a 1996 Coleman Cheyenne, one of the first trailers with the ABS roof. After a few years it sagged, and we had it replaced under warranty with a new roof. The new roof had an improved shape (crowned in both directions) and a metal support brace.
What kind of roofing material does Coleman use?
ABS has been extensively used in the RV business for over twenty years. The Coleman Folding Trailer’s ABS roofs outer skin is co-extruded with a UV resistant layer called Luran ® S ASA which is produced by BASF ®.
