What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

A FlexArmor spray on roof is being installed on my 2010 Coachmen Freelander rubber sieve (an insult to real roofs to call it one) today. The rubber material also had a fabric backing which would wick water in all directions once it penetrated the roof. The only good factor was the composition of very thin luan & styrofoam sandwidge allowed water to travel and do less damage. I only had one small soft spot, which was easily repaired.
The efforts to use lighter and lighter construction methods to build class C's makes them more subject to flexing at critical seams in the earthquake they get every day on the road. Butt joints at the roof edge instead of continuing the roof over the sides and creating the seam there is a bankrupt design coupled with lightweight construction. My old 1965 pickup camper never leaked, even after being shipped on an open deck to Europe and back - but it was framed with 2x2's and didn't flex.
Never having to get on the roof again: priceless!
