It is a DIY roll-on. After using the aluminum tape to seal the joints. I rolled on 3 coats. It is basically the finished product, however I have material left, and will apply two more coats once the rooftop air conditioners are installed.
I plan on ordering the new Gree Air Conditioners that have just been released. I want to take a chance on them because they include a automatic climate control as opposed to the manual interface that I've seen made on almost all non-ducted rooftop a/c's for the last 40 years. But, the roof still has a sag (even without the a/c's bearing down) after 28 years of them sitting up there. I really haven't found much to help solve the problem. I plan on trying a 3/4" plywood sheet spanning from one aluminum brace to next, 28" wide, and placed in between the aluminum roof and the insulation; to help support the air conditioner.
In the meantime, I've slowly started on ceiling replacement, screwing and liquid nailing 1/4" luaun plywood up. I then hope place a cove moulding around the ceiling perimeter trim it out.
Just curious, any new updates on this project? I will admit to having a certain weakness when it comes to the Windcruiser/Elandan motorhomes. I'm still away from mine but have high hopes for next year. The Elandan that I bought last year is my first venture into the RV world. Call me crazy but I love the older models. I hope all is well out there for the other readers. Anybody that wants to talk about them or any other model, please feel free to post it or send a PM.
Stay safe all..
