I found a leak in my van roof… and it wasn’t small. This video shows exactly how I tracked it down, what caused it, and how I tried to fix it using butyl tape and Sikaflex 11FC. If you’re living in your van or building one out, leaks are inevitable — but they don’t have to be a disaster. Watch how I patched mine, what I learned, and what I’d do differently next time.
Topics covered:
• Finding the leak
• Prepping the surface
• Using butyl tape properly
• Sealing with 11FC
• Testing the repair
This is real vanlife: messy, frustrating, and fixable. More stories, repairs, and honest living coming soon.
