Well,
If the OP gets back with an answer as to "Why" he'd like to coat his fiberglass roof, then maybe it can be determined as to the possible "best" coating/repair/sealant/etc. Our coach, a 2004 Itasca Horizon, 36GD with the C-7 330 CAT, has almost 52,000 miles on it. It originated on the East coast and, has been all around the west coast and mid states a few times. The roof, as most Winnies and Itascas are, fiberglass. And, it's in flawless condition. Yes, when it's not in use, it's under a drive under cover.
I can explain what it took to get it to the condition its in but, not now. Some of you have seen it. It's like a mirror up there. And, there's no "ZEP" or "RED MAX PRO" up there. If you like those products on your roof, be my guest. It's yours so, you can do as you see best. I wax mine about once a year, maybe twice, depending on how I feel. It gets a good washing with soap and deionized water, about once a month, along with the rest of the coach.
So, my point is, if they're taken care of, fiberglass that is, and until the OP gets back here with a reason, I see no reason to "coat" a fiberglass roof with anything.
But, if for some odd reason, that roof was in bad condition, enough to cause worry for wet weather conditions, I'd take it so an RV repair center near us called San Diego RV Center and have the "Rhino" coating applied. It would then be a roof guaranteed against leaks for 30 years. But, that's just my thoughts.
