Default Travel Trailer Remodel

I'm looking at using InstaTrim 1/2 Inch Flexible, Self-Adhesive Trim Strips for corners and was wondering if anyone else has used this. Seems like it would work with all the flexing these these travel trailers go through. Appreciate any feedback.

Never used that product, but I'd be suspicious as to whether it would properly seal out water intrusion. Best to seal your roof with DICOR self leveling sealant, and use something like DOWSIL 999-A for the side seams (not the roof). Water intrusion is one of the biggest enemies for an RV (along with UV damage from the sun) and is best to use proven methods. My 2-cents.

Default Instatrim

Thanks for your feedback. I probably wasn't clear with my message. It would be used inside panel corners, edges where the roof panel meets the side panels

I’m pretty much a pin gun guy. That’s what these units were built with. And that’s what I used when making repairs..
I’m afraid that the glue on will look good in the beginning but will not last for the long haul. If it’s thick enough material throw a few pin nails in it for good mesure.
Note don’t forget to do a trial pice out side so you can set your air pressure correctly.
