What's your camper's Brand, i.e. Travco, Shasta, etc.: 1977 Midas Motorhome Dodge sportsman f30 chassis?
City and State where you are located. Do not use zip code, you know what it means but it means nothing to the rest of us.: Michigan
Tell us a little About Yourself: First time trying to restore an RV. I am an extreme do-it-yourself-er and I prefer to re-purpose things as opposed to buying new whenever possible. Just got this RV from a relative, and it needs a major roof repair right off, inside and out. Should be fun, and I don't expect to have this restored this year. I work full time, so it will be here and there when time allows. I'll post some pics as soon as it arrives here.

I've never owned a motorhome/RV, but have been an avid camper all of my life with tents/pop-ups/and pull behind camper trailers. This is a first and I can't wait to get to travel with it.
Anti-spam question: 4 plus 1 equals what?: 5

Here is the butyl tape I get from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FCB4JS/ref=oh_aui_search_de...

This is a picture of the type of butyl tape I got from the local RV dealer: https://smile.amazon.com/Hengs-16-5831-Trimmable-Butyl-Tape/dp/B002...

I do not know if what I got from the RV dealer was Heng's or not but it has that crepe paper separator so I am using it as an illustration.

That stuff with the crepe paper is not any where near as good as the brown paper Dicor that I get from Amazon. It is flimsy, sticky, rips easily, and generally not easy to work with. The Dicor seems firmer, still sticky, but does not rip or tear while just trying to put it on.

This FYI is so when you go to purchase butyl tape you will not get the cheaper stuff, but will spend a little more money to get the better quality tape that will last longer and be easier to work with.
