Roof type.

I am dealing with a roof leak. I've heard there are two types of roofs EPMD and TPO when I got on the roof I noticed that it's a thin sheet of silver metal there is no rubber coating on it. Is this normal I have a mobile home at the beach and I was going to use the UV roof sealer on the RV like I do on the mobile home does anybody see an issue with this and should I coat the whole roof or just seams. Thx

  • Dicor makes a nice RV metal roof coating. It is white an really reflects the heat in the summertime! Made my TT much cooler on those sunny days.
    Most of your RV dealers will have it.
    I coated my whole roof.

  • You have a metal roof (neither EPDM or TPO) which was common on RV trailers at one time. Coat it with the appropriate material per the directions after cleaning.
