The reason you scrub and wash your RV roof before you coat is 1 you want a really clean surface for it to adhere to( it will bubble up and detach from the surface over time) and 2 so you don't roll your dirt all through your coating(makes for unprofessional Grey and black swirly patterns in the coating).

I plan on doing this to my 2020 Rockwood 5th wheel this summer after I developed separation right behind the front fiberglass shield. Plan on keeping the old vinyl roof on as I’ve stabilized it with eternal bond tape and aluminum thresholds, does it make a difference what type of vinyl it has as to the rubber sealant. Also, I heard a hot sealant (whatever that is?) is better. Is your roof still holding up?

How hot or warm does the outside temp need to be for one to seal coat their Motorhome Roof ? Does it need to be a warm temp, hot temp ? I live in Central Delaware, and am in the process of paying off a 1991 Fleetwood Flair 22 foot Motorhome. I noticed that the wind has recently wreaked havoc with the outer edges of the roof, so I was wondering if the roof can be coated while the outside temps are in the mid to upper 40's to low or mid 50's, or if the outside temps need to be much warmer for the seal coat to dry properly ? I am planning on getting some really large size tarps to throw up over the Roof and tie down until I can get the roof properly seal coated.

Having used these products on a motorhome several years ago I can say that 1) Liquid Rubber and Eternabond are both excellent products. 2) You MUST scrub the roof absolutely and completely CLEAN! Sweeping alone is NOT adequate. Failure to do so will cause your new coating to delaminate from the original roofing material leading to failure and leaks. I have also worked on an RV roof which had been treated with Liquid Rubber without proper cleaning, that's how I know it will delaminate if not cleaned well enough.
@lisarct1012
@lisarct1012 Жыл бұрын
Also, there are obvious wrinkles in the original rubber roofing indicating it is no longer bonded to the roof in those areas. This should be rectified before you coat with the Liquid Rubber. Cut a slit and reglue, then cover the slit with Eternabond. Re-coating a loose roof will be useless if it tears and peels going down the road.

I have a 89 RV/motor home built with Alloy on the outside with multiple joints from the roof down.. every joint has a weather strip.. with a rubber seal to the body and centre strip over the screws. I have had a fairly serious leak down one side and used silicone to try and stop it.! It may not have worked! If it has not what of any product could I put under the weather strip to prevent leaks? Thanks in advance 👍🏻

Silicone caulking does not work on the exterior of an RV! If you really want to cover over screw holes, try 3M 5200 it’s marine grade caulking. But really what you might want to do even before that is to remove that entire piece of track/and put new butyl tape between the track and the RV. And then replace the screws, & if you think u need too use 3M 5200 to cover the screws, it’ll work better than anything else. And if you’re ever desperate for a temporary leak fix, grab a spray can of “roof leak stop” (any brand will work) I have used a couple different brands I got at Lowe’s. Also, Eternabond tape is magic. Keep it handy for unexpected leaks. Just be sure to get the actual brand and not a knock off. Ask me how I know, ha!

Is it flexible enough not causes cracking because roof is not fully rigid?

I am wondering what mesh does? Does it act like fiber on fiberglass? Any preference on what brand of white roof coat? I did some research and found Henry Enviro-white as highly rated.

Not to criticize anything but am genuinely curious to see how this held up. I know there wasn't much time available to put into it but the directions clearly state this must be washed down, not just broomed off. Most importantly, you are missing the primer the manufacturer states must be laid down first on EPDM roofs (curiously primer not needed if its going on metal roof).
