EternaBond and EternaSeam

Does anyone have any experience with Eternabond or EternaSeam? I have a Minnie Plus towable and it's had roof leaking issues that I want to permanently resolve. I have read a lot about DICOR but I am drawn toward EternaSeam as a semi-permanent solution. DICOR seems to be prone to cracking and needs constant reapplication whereas EternaSeam and EternaBond are much longer lasting. I do not know if the roof of the Minnie Plus is Fiberglass or Rubber. I have written to Winnebago and have asked them what the roof is made of and what sealant they recommend using. I will post their response when it arrives.
Meantime, Fall and Winter are approaching and I want to make sure I don't have any leaks!

Do any of you have any experience with either of these two solutions? EternaBond or EternaSeam?

I think the Minnie Plus has a TPO roof system.......TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin membrane)

Thank you in advance for any information!
Happy Trails!

I don't know what the difference is between Eternabond tape and Eternaseam but I've used Eternabond tape and like it for a more permanent solution than traditional caulking/sealants. I'm gradually working my way around my roof with the goal of being done before our rains start again here in northern California.

Given that you're in Seattle, I'd highly recommend the Eternabond or Eternaseam route.

Since your's is a TPO roof, Dicor should work but you're wise in attempting to get specific info from Winnebago. As you may know, Winnebago publishes sealant callout sheets online for motorized Winnebagos but not for towables.
