You get 3\/4-inch by 8-foot white butyl putty tape, the mounting screws, and instructions in one package. It's the seal that keeps water out from under the flange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButyl tape is the unsung hero of a dry RV roof. Any time you set a vent down onto the roof, you need a flexible, non-hardening seal between the vent flange and the roof membrane. That's the whole job of the Camco 25013. It's a complete installation kit built around 3\/4-inch wide, 8-foot long white butyl putty tape, and it comes with the mounting screws and instructions you need to get the vent seated and sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit isn't picky about what you're installing. It's made for roof vents, side mount vents, plumbing vent stacks, and refrigerator vents. So whether you're dropping in a new powered roof fan, swapping a cracked lid vent, or resealing the fridge vent after chasing down a leak, the same kit covers you. Eight feet of tape is enough to run the full perimeter of a standard RV roof vent with some to spare, and if you're doing a smaller side or plumbing vent you'll have plenty left for the next job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four vent types it's rated for cover most of what pokes through an RV roof. A roof vent is the square lid-style vent or powered fan over the bathroom or galley. A side mount vent handles ventilation through a sidewall. The plumbing vent stack is the small vent that lets your black and gray tanks breathe so they drain right. And the refrigerator vent is the roof cap that lets the fridge exhaust heat. One kit, and you're set for any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tape is designed for rubber RV roofs, the EPDM and TPO membranes you'll find on most modern trailers and motorhomes. Butyl stays soft and tacky. It doesn't cure hard like some sealants, so it keeps conforming to the roof as the rig flexes and the temperature swings from a cold morning to a hot afternoon. That flexibility is what keeps the seal from cracking and letting water track under the flange months down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how a typical install goes. You clean the roof around the opening so it's dry and free of old sealant and grit. Peel the backing, lay the butyl tape around the underside of the vent flange, and press the vent down into place. Then drive the included screws to pull the flange down evenly, which squeezes the tape into a continuous seal. On a lot of installs you'll follow up with a self-leveling lap sealant over the screw heads and the flange edge for a finished, weatherproof job. This kit handles the critical under-flange seal, the part that actually keeps water out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy does the under-flange seal matter so much? Because that's where leaks start. A vent can look perfectly fine from up top while water is quietly wicking in under the edge and running down into the ceiling. Good butyl tape, seated with even screw pressure, is what stops that. It's cheap insurance against the most expensive kind of RV damage, the soft roof and stained headliner that shows up long after the leak began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white tape keeps things clean-looking under white and light-colored vent flanges, and the English and French packaging means the instructions are clear whether you're wrenching in the States or up in Canada. It's a straightforward, no-drama kit. You don't need special tools, just a clean surface, a screwdriver or drill, and a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody replacing a roof vent or fan, resealing a leaky vent, or building out a rig and setting vents for the first time. First-time owners find it approachable because the instructions walk you through it, and seasoned RVers keep a kit or two in the parts bin because vents are one of those things you end up resealing every few seasons. It's not a lap sealant and it's not a roof coating. It's the butyl putty tape and hardware for setting the vent itself, which is exactly the part most people forget to buy until they're up on the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch by 8-foot white butyl putty tape, enough to seal the full perimeter of a standard RV roof vent with tape to spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-hardening butyl formula stays flexible so the seal keeps conforming as the roof flexes and temperatures swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for rubber RV roofs, including the EPDM and TPO membranes found on most modern trailers and motorhomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for roof vents, side mount vents, plumbing vent stacks, and refrigerator vents, one kit for every roof opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting screws included, so you can seat and secure the vent flange without a separate hardware run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIllustrated instructions included, with English and French packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite tape stays discreet under white and light-colored vent flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat's included in the Camco 25013 kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt comes with 3\/4-inch by 8-foot white butyl putty tape, the mounting screws, and installation instructions.
