PICTURES now addeded... FlexArmor roof replacement

Bill, I had the exact same MH other then it was a Ford. When I sold it the roof was still in good shape. What prompted you to do something to the roof?

This morning, Tuesday, dropped the motorhome off at the roof shop. Spoke with the owner Dave, and he explained the process. Looks like it will not be necessary to remove the old rubber roof. As I was pulling away from the shop, Dave was driving my motorhome into the service bay to begin the process.

While work is being done we are staying in St Augustine.

I have at least a dozen friends that are anxiously waiting to see my new motorhome roof so they can decide if they want theirs done too.

I do NOT like the idea that they do NOT remove the top AC units. That is one place you DO find rotted areas when replacing a roof the CORRECT way.

The only thing not replaced completely is the TV antenna/Sat dome. NOT removing the top appliances is NOT doing the job correctly. The added cost of those parts is less than $200. Regardless of what the FlexArmor shop states. Now, if they give YOU the choice between cheaper and the job done correctly at a higher cost, then I am OK with it. Doug

We just wanted to clarify for people following this thread. We do removed the A/Cs, spray inside the opening and reinstall with a new gasket. We have a specialized system we created for reinstalling roof mounted acs such as those found on Newmars where the bolts are located outside the gasket. When we do your roof the price includes the replacement of all vent pipes and lids, refrigerator base and lid, standard vent lids, camco vent covers and new a/c gaskets. Anything such as satellites and solar panels are also removed and our system that allows as to mount them back without puncturing the roof is used.

If you ever do need to remove or add something, we can spray just that area. We are currently working on expansion and you will start to see authorized applicators in other areas.

Thank you for clearing that up. HOW do you install Sat systems and solar panels without puncturing the new roof????? How do you run the wiring?? Doug

That is a trade secret exclusive to our roof system and is one of the things that makes our system unique.

When I take it to the shop tomorrow they will evaluate specifically what needs to be done. On Friday night I'll have my first opportunity to post an update here to let everyone know what the final product looks like.

Would it be more foolish than normal to assume that as long as the existing rubber roof is left in place, provided it is sound, just thin? I'm wondering if they strip off the old rubber, or spray over it? thanks

It's a $100 a foot including labor and materials, does not include carpentry rot soft spots ect..

Thank you for this info. I'm hoping that Texas can get some franchisees for this. The local used RV dealer reps I've chatted with speak highly of this product when used models come in.

If you ask them and tell them why, I'm sure they will take photos.

Our appointment for the new roof is tomorrow. I'm really anxious to see the finished job which should ad new life to our motorhome.

While the roof work is being done we decided to get a hotel and spend a few days in nearby St Augustine. Happily the weather forecast is looking good for touring the historic district.
