Here is a photo of the rubber roof on my TT, discolored from weathering. It at least warrants cleaning - just hosing down is not an option. I'm still not sure if/what UV product to use afterwards.
That roof looks great and doesn't need a thing. LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!

The roof in the picture is not rubber. EPDM Rubber does not have a texture as in the picture. My bet would be it is Alpha Systems Superflex or possibly a TPO, but the texture sure looks like Superflex. I don't believe you ever mentioned the brand or year of trailer but most Thor and Forest River brands, Grand Design, Winnebago towables etc. use Superflex, and have for quite a few years.
With Superflex you do not need any treatment and the recommended cleaner is dish detergent. You may need something a little stronger from letting it go that long. Do not use Dicor on Superflex roof unless you want to bubble/wrinkle up the membrane. Their is a difference. Look in your doc packet for the roof membrane paperwork, then you'll know what you have.
