What Roof System On 1998/1999 Teton 5er's ?
I'm hoping I might connect here with another Teton 5th wheel owner.
Are there any late 1990's Teton owners here ? If so could you check your owners manual regarding what roofing product they installed?
I have a 1998 39' Denver model and I have no owners manuals or products manuals on anything. The previous owner's son inherited it and could not find any paperwork on it. Because I have no factory to contact and no owners manuals I don't know if this roof system is EPDM or ALPHA or VINYL. I've owned motor homes with EPDM roofs and this Teton roof membrane seems more like a rubberized vinyl product to me rather than rubber. The existing membrane is chalky to the touch though. I have no idea what an ALPHA roofing system looks like.
The roof is original and has never been coated. I'm pressure washing the roof tomorrow and I am planning on removing all old cracked sealants at all roof penetrations and coating the entire roof with EPDM RV Coating.
I hear that EPDM cannot be applied to the ALPHA system (at least not without a primer) so I won't rest easy until I know what I'm dealing with here.
Any info from someone in the know would sure be appreciated. TIA
