Here's a silly question. Anyone ever try using TPO on the outside walls of a motorhome?
Actually, when I first saw you testing the TPO material the thought crossed my mind wondering how it would work as the exterior siding. You can obviously get it wide enough to cover from roof to bottom with one sheet (which you can't do with filon) and it is definitely durable. I wonder how it would take a paint finish?
I had to re-laminate a good amount of the filon on the exterior of my rig, and I can tell you the stuff is brittle! The TPO certainly seems like it doesn't suffer the same in that department. It would definitely be interesting to see how it fared as a motor home siding.
From what I've read, TPO can be painted. I would imagine, that TPO on the side should last longer than on the roof, since the suns rays aren't nearly as direct on the side walls as on the roof.
I agree, it would be interesting to see how it would hold up.
