Hello Folks,On a recent trip, my wife and I found a significant hole in our roof. We think it was caused by a vendor who installed AC units for us. The hole looks like they gouged the roof with a fork lift (which is what they use to raise the AC unit).So, now we are filing a claim and getting the roof replaced. We will also research any water damage, etc. that was done before I made the patch.My question is this. With the new roof going on, have any of you checked out the RhinoLiner product called Eco Coat? I am curious to hear some feedback.Also, if you have opinions on top quality roof replacements, I would love to hear that also.Thanks so much!

I ask about this here before and neve4 got any replies so I’m curious to see what you find out. I had researched FlexArmorbefore I heard about the RhinonRoof stuff. I think pricing is about the same.

I talked to our RV tech about Flex Armor. He said it's good, but it's very heavy. I don't know about you, but I'm the weight police in our house and that would cause me concern. We'd have to reduce our cargo and/or change our suspension, possible tires too, to handle the extra weight.

Likely, you'll get paid for a "standard" roof replacement and you'll have to pay for anything else. I called a local company about FlexArmor several years ago on my old Komfort. IIRC, it would have cost about what my FW was worth to replace the roof, and that's =without= them doing any repairs that they find after the old roof is gone. IIRC, it was at least 50% more than a rubber roof. Given that you've got an orphan Cameo, I'd think long and hard about how long it's going to ultimately last before dumping that much into it. I doubt you'd recover your OOP $ on a sale, even fairly quickly afterwards. Just my $0.02...Lyle

Check out RV ARMOR. Had them do my roof on my 2010 Grand Junction and it was a nice job. They come to you and paint on a new roof with life time guarantee. When they get done there are no seams to leak. Not sure of price but it was somewhere around $130.00 a ft.
