Camper Mounting Tape is a product specifically made for campers. That said, it is widely used for other reasons too.
Thermwell the Insulation Specialists
Thermwell brand is well known but it's the words Storm King you see on their packaging. It's a good marketing name for a company that deals with weather issues. Thermwell offers window, door, pipe and other forms of insulation for the home and business.
The insulation they offer is not only for those who get cold weather in the winter and lose hot air. It's also good for those in warm weather areas who want to keep the oppressive heat outside from getting inside.
Camper Mounting Tape
Camper mounting tape is much like regular home insulation strips only it's much wider. The product is sold as the material to use between a camper and the truck it rests on. It keeps out moister. No water or snow can penetrate the compressed insulation. It also keeps out drafts. No whistling sounds will be heard and it also deadens any vibrations.
This insulation works well because it's made of closed cell foam. That means it is tougher than many other foams especially open cell. Closed cell is kinda like millions of tiny tires all tied together. They hold the load and don't fall apart easy. It also has a high R-value. That's important when used as insulation.
This Storm King Camper Mounting Tape is 3/16" thick closed-cell vinyl foam. It is a massive 1 and 1/2" wide. It's in a class by itself in width. It's a 30' roll.
The tape is easy to apply. It has a self stick side that is covered by a strip of paper. Just pull down the paper and apply the weatherstripping.
It's More Than Mounting Tape
I don't have a camper so I haven't used this Camper Mounting Tape on a camper.I do however have an old house and a front door that is not perfectly fit into the door jam. As it is I do have to make my own weather-seal on the door. At one time I would purchase the more narrow type of weatherstrip and place one beside the other. "Why bother" I asked one year when I decided to pick up Thermwell's Storm King Camper Mounting Tape. It works very well for me for about two or three years. Eventually wear calls for a new piece. I am very due to be changing the weatherstrip now so I'll get it at one of the many local hardware or home centers that carry it. It is a staple at most such places.
I have to cut the stripping in one area lengthwise. No problem. I get the kind of seal I need and one roll saves me fuel costs for about two or three years.
pops Last Thoughts
This product only comes in a grey colour. I do wish it was in white and brown like many of their other weatherstrip products. It is however a good all round wide weatherstrip that can be used in places in addition to campers.
I have also used this camper mount tape on top of one of our air conditioners to keep the area between it and the window sash holding it in place. It's being wide and closed cell seals the area well and always stays on the air-condition from year to year as I rotate their use throughout the year. It keeps moister out and also makes the house quieter because we have the Long Island Rail Road roaring by about a hundred yards away. Yes, the closed cell is a noise reducere too! This weatherstrip is a good one for many tasks but the most important is for keeping out home from losing too much heat through our poorly fit front door.
