Rubber Roof

My roof is 20 years old. I applied a gallon of Kool Seal that a friend gave me because he bought a new MH and it looked good for about 6 years. It is wearing away and I can start to see the original EPDM roof underneath. In contrast my friend has the same year roof but never coated it and his roof is completely black because all the white outer surface has worn off. Neither roofs leak as long as you check and recaulk or use the Eternabond tape. I just think a white roof keeps the MH cooler in the summer. I would coat it now if the outer layer of rubber has started to slough off.

Our roof is a 1993 and still going strong, sits outside.

Mine was maintained and failed after 5 years (water was leaking through the membrane). I now have a New Roof and no more worries about rubber or caulking and it is so much quieter. I am hearing impaired and I can now actually hear the TV when it is raining.

I would replace a brand new rubber roof with this product and just consider it part of the purchase price.

At the same time I got rid of the crank up TV antenna which was a pain and I never used it anyway. And it leaked through the antenna on to my bed a couple of times. It is now in the trash somewhere.

If it is maintained it will last long time. If it's got black showing or needs a good cleaning then do that.
Then you can apply a rubber type coating.
It's all diy job. Materials many $150.
I've done two myself.

Depends on how much sun it has rec'd. Maint. has no effect on the rubber itself.
In my area they will out-last the RV.

IMHO I wouldn't want a brand new rubber roof, more less a 12 year old one.

The roof on our 2004 Tioga is in good condition despite baking in the sun in Southern CA. We have had the seals around roof vents and AC unit checked and resealed. All types of roofs are vulnerable wherever roof items penetrate and have seals/caulking. Road shock and vibration can cause roof seals to leak so they must be checked periodically.

My roof is now 18 years and 2 months old. Still looks OK. It sits in the Southern Florida sun 7 months a year.

I power wash it 2 times a year. No soap or protectant used.

All depends on how it has been maintained and how the rig has been stored.
Roofs used and stored in the southwest don't do as well as those in more northern climates with less intense sun.

But, 12 years is getting on down there. But, our last trailer was 12 when we sold it and the roof was still very good. .....all depends.
