We had the roof of our RV replaced including the roofing on our slidouts. Our old roof -top photo- was rubber and badly spotted. When we washed it there was so much oxidation that it would just run white down the sides of the RV. Our rig is now ten years old. We could have had it recoated but that wouldn't last for more than a few years and wouldn't do anything to strengthen it. Now with the new roof it is much stronger. It's basically the same thing they use to coat the beds of trucks. So now we don't have to worry about hail damage or a tree limb tearing it or the caulking around the edge of the roof coming up and water getting in and causing damage. The new roof has a lifetime guarantee and the warranty is good nationwide. We have been researching this for a while and when someone finally opened up a franchise here in Yuma we were ready to get it done.
They had to take everything off of the roof so they could spray around the openings of all the vents, air conditioner, etc. They also replace all the plywood because they can't get all the sticky off of the old plywood so that it is clean enough for the spray on lining to adhere properly. We were surprised and pleased to see they had cleaned all the vents and covers before they put them back on so it looks like we have brand new vents. We also had them spray the the refrigerator vent cover and the air conditioner shroud. This will keep them from disentergrating from the sun eating them. This brand of RV roof spray on lining is a pretty silvery color. Other brands that we have seen are a sparkly white. We are very happy with our new roof.
