Roof Opinions Please

I just got my truck camper out of storage for 2 years, and the roof looks horrible. It was under a breathable cover, and I've always cleaned and conditioned it with Camco products. The camper is a 2017 model year Wolf Creek 840 that lives in California bay area good weather.

The roof covering looks like its starting to break down, and it's covered in dark moldy looking spots. Is that normal? I hope it's not time to replace already!

The dicor looks cracked, but seems pliable and solid. Is it time to reapply a little on top of the old? Does it need a complete remove and replace? Or does it look good for now?

thanks in advance for your informed opinions.
  • I thought the roof was covered in a vinyl material. Whatever it is, I'm disappointed that it only lasts 6 years, covered, in a mild climate.
  • The roof looks like an EDPM material. It has a white layer that gradually sheds off exposing the black substrate. Usually indicates end of life for roof if there is more black than white.
    As far s the Dicor, it at least needs a cleaning and another layer to seal it.
    Where is the vinyl that you show as breaking down?
