Ihave a 1997 monaco windsor, 34 feet long. I have maintained it completely since I have owned it (15 years). It has always been stored under cover. Today I noticed that my EPDM rubber is starting to flake (the white top part) and I can see grey underneath it. It doesent leak. This is happening where the air conditioners drain on the roof. Do I need to invest in a new roor??? Thanks for any help inadvance.

Click here for my story about a new roof.My MH is 1996 and I finally decided to get a new roof before leaving Florida this past Spring. If your 1997 MH has been in the Florida sun all these years then you should consider getting a new roof soon.It might be worth your money and time to take a vacation in St Augustine while getting a new roof. If you decide to go send me a PM before and I can give you advice on how to save a few bucks.

EPDM roofing can be recoated, they sell a product for this, don't have the link but I think its the cheapest way to go without replacing the roof material..

I tried liquid rubber products and the roof looked OK for one year. Then started to bubble and look like alligator skin. Would not recommend doing that again.

Check out Bus Kote. It's a good product. I've used itmany times. It's diy.Bob

Make sure those are actual flakes... I thought mine was flaking and then discovered it was really fine dirt that had caked and was very hard to get off. I had to scrub the area with a soft brush and water to get it back to looking normal.2 years ago I had an RV detailer use a two step coating for EPDM rubber. The roof came out looking like new and still looks good today. No bubbles no peeling.
