One Roof to Rule Them All

As any RV owner can tell you, keeping your roof in good condition is essential. Even the slightest tears or gaps can lead to water damage and expensive repairs. That’s why it’s a good idea to have your roof checked regularly and address any potential issues right away.

Our Service team is raving about a new product that is proving extremely effective for RV roofing repairs and sealing. Kool Seal®’s Tundra™ Silicone Rubberized Roof Coating bonds well to all roofs for long-lasting protection against ponding water and UV damage. It creates a watertight seal and a beautiful, seamless finish that dries quickly and stays cleaner longer. The high-gloss finish deflects heat keeping your RV cooler, and at 95% solids, Tundra offers great coverage and value. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer (full roof coatings only), making it a great choice for just about any roof.

The Tundra coating has become our product of choice for all RV roof and seal repairs —we’ve even started applying a full roof coating on most new and used RVs we sell for the extra protection Tundra provides.

Could your roof use a little TLC? Gauthiers’ RV offers several service packages that feature the Tundra Roof Coating. Call us today at 337-235-8547 to learn more and schedule an appointment.

Step Right Up

If it’s been a few years since you purchased your RV, there’s a good chance you might have missed out on the new wave of solid steps for campers. These innovative designs are a big improvement over the springy, slightly wobbly steps most people have become accustomed to seeing in RVs. The older model of steps also tended to rust over time and become difficult to move. The good news is that you can retrofit almost any existing steel and aluminum steps with these new and improved models. 

Gauthiers’ Parts Store carries both Lippert SolidStep and the MORryde StepAbove®, the two most popular solid step brands. Our Service Shop is happy to give you a quote for installation and a fit check to make sure you have the right model for your RV. 

What makes both the SolidStep and the StepAbove so appealing is their reassuring stability and ease of operation. The steps always stay parallel to the ground, and aluminum treads also reduce the potential for slipping or falling. Adjustable feet make leveling easy, even on uneven or rough terrain. And both models fold up for secure storage inside the unit’s door. That means more space for storage: Check out MORryde’s Step Storage Box that adds 1.5 cubic feet of storage space where your old steps used to be.

  • Handrails sold separately
  • Step Storage Box fits old step space

Upgrading your steps is an easy way to improve safety and your overall camping experience. Stop by today to try out these modern stairs for yourself. They’re available in a range of different sizes/steps with add-ons like handrails. 

  • Lippert Quad SolidStep
  • Lippert Triple SolidStep
  • Lippert Double SolidStep

Take advantage of this special offer through the end of 2019: With any purchase of Lippert SolidSteps, Gauthiers’ will throw in the Lift-Assist add-on for free! (Retail value: $200.) Lift-Assist adds a gas strut into the mechanics of the step, removing virtually all of the weight from the step during deployment and while storing. 

If you’ve ever considered stepping up your RV step game, now is the perfect time. Call us at 337-235-8547 or stop by today to get a quote.
