<p>Hi ho towing community..</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have to be more proactive about the old seams on my 1955 Roadliner and I need some advice.</p>
<p> The seams "look" basically fine and the sealant is still pickable..but I have read that these old trailers are notoriously leaky and any tiny bit of missing grey sealant ( cannot think of the name for it) around windows and all exterior seams can be a real sneaky leak danger. I have to say..so far so good..but I do put a big sheet of plastic over her…</p>

<p>I cannot imagine doing all these seams myself..taking each and every piece of screwed aluminum apart( including windows) and resealing..so what does one not so terribly handy lady do ?</p>
<p>Is this a job for a professional in my case?? My trailer has very very little water damage visable inside, and the Birch wood is beautifully preserved..so I do have a real concern here.</p>
<p>As always many thanks to any of you who respond.</p>
<p>trying to preserve the past...</p>
