Protect the Value of Your Motorhome – Act Now!

When was the last time you checked the roof of your motorhome?
If you’ve answered no to any of the questions below, your RV’s value and integrity could be at serious risk:

  • Can you safely access the roof of your motorhome?

  • Have you ever cleaned or polished the roof?

  • Has the sealant around your vents been inspected in the past two years?

  • Have the roof joints or gutters been checked for rust or damage recently?

If your answer is “no” to any of these, it’s time to act. Don’t wait until damage becomes costly — call Marty’s Panel & Paint Ltd today on 06 368 8276 for your FREE Motorhome Roof Evaluation.


Why Fibreglass Motorhomes Need More Protection Than Painted Ones

Did you know fibreglass needs more protection than paint?
Most fibreglass motorhomes are built with low-UV gel coats, especially in models imported from overseas. And here’s the catch — New Zealand’s UV rays are 5–6 times stronger than Europe’s.

Without regular care, fibreglass will:

  • Oxidise

  • Lose its gloss

  • Break down over time - Eventually, it will require a complete repaint — which is costly and avoidable.


How to Protect Your RV from UV Damage

Whether your motorhome is fibreglass or painted, ongoing maintenance is critical:

✅ Wash off road grime regularly
✅ Remove bird droppings immediately
✅ Apply a high-quality wax at least twice a year — ideally twice over summer if stored outdoors

Can’t do this yourself? No worries.
