- VeebyesExplorer III'm refurbing my rubber roof once a year using a rubber roof protector, even though the trailer spends 7 months in indoor storage, but the Rhino method sure looks appealing.
I'd do it the marine way if resin & non skid was not so expensive & heavy. - C_SchomerExplorerI paid $65 for a bucket of Henry SF287 5 years ago. It did 3 coats and it's holding up and still looks great. I plan on using it on my next one, too. Craig

X2 - TravlingmanExplorer III read on the Excel forum that Excel now only gives a 5 year roof warranty on the Rhino coating and also reccommends a 2nd AC as it actually causes heat in rig instead of reducing as claimed.

It has nothing to do with affording the other half for Rhino. It's because we undoubtedly won't be RVing when the new rubber roof needs replacing. It's warranteed for 12 years and most rubber roofs in the Northern U.S. last 15+ years before even thinking about wanting to replace them. That would put us at about 90 years old! Hint, better get outa our way then!!! A new rubber roof probably will last less years in desert areas or very high humidity areas with lots of Sun but those areas don't interest us in the least and avoid them like the plague!
Should we purchase a new RV, (only have 2 RV's presently as we sold the 2007 almost virgin TT last week) a Rhino roof is on top or close to the top of the list of must haves. They are awesome! - glazierExplorer III bet you a limb wouldn't tear it. I had Rhino sprayed in 3 trucks, very good bed liner, no doubt it would be a wonderful roof on an RV.
- AceiExplorerCan you still install stuff like solar panels on it easily? How does it take screws?
- Swamp_ManExplorerLooks good to me. When the roof needs it, this is what I will use. Plan on keeping the trailer a long time. Especially now that it is paid for!
