Line-X for roof

I just had a man tell me he had Line-X sprayed on the roof of his camper and it works great as well as added insulation. Has anyone heard of this?

  • Line-X comes in various colors now, just more $$$ over black.
  • I'm leaning this way when I need to have it done:

  • Yes, it is a real thing. The old roof is removed and very good prep is required but some dealers doing RV roofs are offering lifetime warranties.

    The only issue is weight. On my previous long box Ram 2500 Line-X added about 80-lbs. Once you know the square footage of your roof, you'll be able to figure out roughly how much weight it will add; likely a several hundred with a large roof.
  • Several years ago when I had my truck bed sprayed the business that did it said they had just done a trailer roof. First one they'd done. They said they thought it would work out pretty well and were talking why didn't trailer manufacturers use a similar process. Don't have any idea how it worked out.
    A guy who use to work for LineX locally has a late 90s Dodge 1/2 ton truck that he's sprayed the entire body with LineX. Can't say it's the most attractive truck I've seen but he said it helps quiet road noise and doesn't get parking lot dings.
  • These days there are many liquid products intended for
    RV roofs why use something intended for a truck bed?
  • Yes, it has been posTed before, do a search.
