- gboppExplorerI've had excellent service with Heng's Rubber Roof Coating.
It goes on easily with a brush or roller and needs no primer.
Clean the roof well before you apply any type coating, prep is the key. - LwiddisExplorer III too use Heng’s.
- dodge_guyExplorer IIYou can clean it all you want before priming it and coating it. But if it's wearing away, it's still going to lift as the surface under the new coating lets go.
Time to reroof it!
I was going back and forth with my 07 TT. I priced it both ways and it was a wash in terms of DIY, but replacing the entire roof was more time consuming. In the end I traded it for our 2012 with a fiberglass roof! A little more pricey, but me and the wife are happy. - wing_zealotExplorerDo you know you're not suppose to post the same thing in more than one subforum? Clicky

We did it several years back...got about 5yrs out of the coating before it started lifting for a fraction of the cost that a new roof would have cost. - bid_timeNomad II

Again, I don't go into he 5th wheel Forum. So posting it in 2 different ones makes sense so other people will see it. It one of those "rules" that needs to be done away with. - jdc1Explorer II

I used Dico and their activator. The roof is bubbling in areas, meaning it didn't stick properly. I spent 4 hours prepping that roof too. - C_SchomerExplorerI've had 2 rvs with checked/peeling rubber roofs. The first one, I pressure washed and hand scrubbed it to death and recaulked. Then, recommended by a comm roofing store in Phx, used Henry 287, $65/5 gal. No primer needed after a good prep. I was in Az. another 5 years and the roof still looked like I just did it. Best things, no more chalking, held up better and it had a little no-slip texture.
I worked on my 08 all last summer, scaping off old graphics, removed and recaulked everything on the roof and the entire trailer and primed/painted all the plastic. First I pressure washed anything loose from the roof then hand scrubed the roof with Sctoch brite pad/tsp. Then another pressure wash to remove footprints, just before recoating with Henry 587... one product step up from before. It turned out beautiful. Craig
