91 Pace Arrow Roof.

Replacing the roof, cost feasible, but impossible due to my lack of skills. Prep work is key in recoating, and I believe I can do that. I don't expect a 10 year lifetime on the coat job, and I cannot afford a new RV at this time.

go to the Dicor website, it gives directions/instructions/pictures as to how to determine what your roof material is.

If the roof is 25 years old, and it "appears" to be some kind of cloth, THAT is what worn out/deteriorated Rubber looks like from age and improper cleaning materials. Coating is a Band-Aid and will probably NOT adhere and seal correctly. You need the roof replaced with new EPDM/TPO. That is the correct fix. Doing the work yourself is cost feasible. Paying someone to do that on a 25 year old motorhome will cost more than the RV is worth. Doug

EDPM coatings are 80.00 per gallon compared to 20.00 for KoolSeal...Whew..Want to make sure that's what I have before blowing 420.00 for five gallons of the stuff.

It's not fiberglass, for sure. Only thing I can find locally is KoolSeal, but the can states that it is not compatible with rubber roofs. However, this roof does not look like rubber. If I can figure out a way to post a picture, I will later this afternoon.

sounds more like TPO to me.

My old roof was EDPM. It was grayish-white as it aged.
I never saw any black color other then stains from trees.
Alpha was the manufacturer of EDPM that Fleetwood used.

I have a 1991 pace Arrow. I believe my roof is what they call an ALPHA roof. It appears to be a rubber material. What exactly it is I do not know. Fleetwood told me it is an Alpha roof.
It appears to be the original roof, but being that old it has no black rubber showing from age as rubber roofs do. Fleetwood told me they installed Alpha roofs during this time period. Would like to know more about the material but that is all I know.

My 1990 Fleetwood Southwind has a fiberglass roof.
