Spot on Roof

While cleaning the roof I found a small spot...looking for some input.

I do not think so...however I know anything is possible.
Not sure how to gauge how bad it is...up close it looks like the white layer is rubbed off leaving a black layer.

I think I would clean it up real good and put some eternabond tape on. That will take care of it. Just make sure it's clean first. I use rubbing alcohol on it after washing the dirt off.

Ok Thanks. Sounds like a plan.
Leave the factory rally on Thursday..so I am not sure I will get it done before then.

I don't think you want to wait to long and end up with a bunch of rain in it.

Try not to sugarcoat your comment!
Actually it does look pretty nasty are you parking under trees?
There is a great product you can use. (Solvit 800-276-8102 solvit1@tds.net).
Lloyd introduced it here and many folks are using it. It has mutiable uses.
You would be wise to get that repair done before your trip.

I would clean the whole roof before you patch it. Remove the mold(?) or whatever is on your roof and you will see if there is any more problem areas. You can buy Eternabond in patch kits or in rolls. Check it out on the net or at your local Rv sales and service.

Repair has been made.

Lloyd - Thanks for you advise. I took it and feel good about it.

markandkim - Thanks for your service to our country.
Yes it was dirty...I have trees and other things that contribute. We are not retired and sometimes can not wash as often as needed.
No need for more excuses...your observation was correct.

Thanks to everyone who took time to answer up with options and opinions.
Being new to this I would have let this interfere with the fun of RVing..however I had faith in this forum as I have been a daily reader since I got my Z1.

Thanks again. Looking forward to the Rally.

I wonder if those spots were caused by leaning an extension ladder against the tt?

It looks like it..I know it was not from us because this was the first time at the roof..and I lean nothing on it.

We have have 2 different dealers up there checking..so who knows.
