Who is Gutter Butter?
Ever seen that greasy yellow sludge oozing down the side of your RV? That’s Gutter Butter.
And it sure ain’t actual butter… it’s a nasty cocktail of pine needles, rainwater, and grime leaking out of unsealed gutter joints. Not only does it look gross, it sneaks into your walls and sets you up for a spring surprise: water damage and a fat repair bill.
Gutter Butter in action
How He Makes Himself at Home
RV gutters only come in certain lengths—like 14′ or 16’—which means the manufacturer has to “butt” one piece of gutter up to the next piece to make a continuous drainage run.
That butt joint is never sealed at the factory OR at the RV dealer before you take it off the lot, so when debris like pine needles or tree leaves fall into the unsealed gutters, rainwater then creates ugly Gutter Butter that starts running down the side of your RV.
This will eventually cause staining, delamination, and even leaks in your slide, roof, or floor… and that can get expensive to fix.
At No Bull RV, we take the time to fix the butt joints on every RV before it rolls out our door. But if you didn’t buy it here, don’t worry. You’ve still got options; swing by and we’ll assess your roof for free.
How Do You Avoid Him?
If you only take away one thing today, let it be this: check your RV roof every spring and fall. Little cracks turn into big leaks real quick. And if the sealant’s cracking—even just a bit—it needs to be re-done.
Or better yet, bring it to us. We’ll climb up there, poke around, and give you a free written assessment. Takes the guesswork out of things.
A Final Word (and Warning!)
This one’s very important so listen closely: DO NOT use silicone for this job. Gutter Butter doesn’t care what Phil Swift says about Flex-Seal tape, he will still manage to get in there. Therefore, use the actual product that was meant for this job: Dicor Self-Leveling sealant, which is available for sale at most RV dealers, including here at No Bull RV.
