Pop-up Tent Trailers

• 1). Remove the protective cover and set up the tent from the pop-up tent trailer. Examine the tent visually for leaks and pay especially close attention to corners where there is more stress on the fabric and more chance of a small tear developing.
  
  
• 2). Study the damage and determine what type of patching your tent requires. Many companies and outdoor recreation stores sell tent repair kits, and it's best to match materials with one another.
  
  
• 3). Follow instructions to the letter to patch up any leaks, and avoid using duct tape as a temporarily solution. This only leads to bigger problems with tears and stitching down the line.
  
  

Solid Camping Trailers

• 1). Examine both the inside and outside for obvious signs of damage. Long term use is going to guarantee some wear and tear on these camping trailers. Metal rusts, corrodes and can crack because of normal wear and tear structural issues and will need maintenance. Rubber based roof coverings will wear and tear as well and each needs to be replaced by the same material.
  
  
• 2). Clean any areas with obvious damage before caulking. Use a caulking gun to fill the damaged space. Allow to dry.
  
  
• 3). Repairing a rubber based roof is more difficult. Determine what exact type of material makes up the roof and seals of the camping trailer. Use this knowledge to determine the best patching substance for your camping trailer.
  
  
• 4). Give time for any repairs to set before hitting the road again.
