How Do You Seal a Truck Camper Top?

Having a truck camper top on your truck can be a great way to add extra storage space and convenience when camping. But if you don’t properly seal it, it can also create an environment for water to get in and cause damage. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to make sure your truck camper top is properly sealed.

Step 1: Start with a Clean Surface
The first step in sealing a truck camper top is to make sure the surface is clean. Use a damp cloth or scrub brush to remove any dirt, dust, and debris that may have accumulated on the surface of the camper top. This will ensure that the sealant adheres properly.

Step 2: Check for Cracks & Gaps
Once the surface is clean, inspect it for any cracks or gaps, which could allow water to enter the camper top. If there are any cracks or gaps, use a sealant specifically designed for truck camper tops to fill them in before applying any other sealant.

Step 3: Apply Sealant
Once you’ve filled in any cracks or gaps, you can begin applying sealant. Start by applying a thin layer of sealant around the edges of the camper top where it meets the truck bed.

Then apply another layer of sealant along all seams and joints. Make sure all areas are covered with an even layer of sealant.

Step 4: Let Dry & Test

Let the sealant dry completely before testing it out. Once dry, spray some water onto different areas of the camper top and check for any leaks or water penetration. If everything looks good, then your truck camper top should be properly sealed!

Conclusion: Sealing a truck camper top isn’t difficult as long as you follow these steps – start with a clean surface, check for cracks and gaps, apply sealant evenly over all seams and joints, then let it dry before testing for leaks. With this simple process your truck camper should be properly sealed and ready for your next camping adventure!
