I have a 31' 5th wheel and it's 11 years old rubber roof has been taken care of. I want to reseal have any of you done this yourselves ? If so what product did you use and how was it to complete? Thanks for any and all info .....Dan

A couple months ago I coated the roof on our 96 Southwind. I covered all bad or questionable areas with Eternabond. I scrubbed the roof with Tide powered laundry detergent, rinse well and allow to dry. Don't use Dawn or Murphy's Oil Soap, it may cause the coating to peel.Heng's Rubber Roof Coating was applied, no primer needed. I put two light coats on the roof. It looks great.I bought three gallons and have about half a gallon left. It covered 30' of roof.I'm very satisfied with the results. It was easy to apply, it goes on like paint.

I could use a similar reseal, I do see that where the roof material rolls over the edge at that seam looks to need some attention, no sure how to attack it with self leveling sealer or eternabond?

It didn't interfere with the rain gutter. I bought two 50' rolls of Eternabond so I could put a solid 30' piece along each side.Before applying the Eternabond tape I filled the small gap between the rain gutter and the roof with Dicor caulk. It made an even surface for the tape.

I used what roofers use for EPDM and TPO, worked great. Also read their case study's.http://inlandcoatings.com/case-study/First gallon I got from RV place and paid $112.00 following year I called around roofing places $48.00Also talked to their corp and local sales rep about tinting (no problem) and corp gave me a few hints. Brush on is so much better coverage in little tiny spots you won't see using a roller but of course you use more. I'm very happy after several years. The more you clean before use the better off you'll be.
