Roofing Fix
I just bought a travel trailer that needs the roof redone. I’m a contractor but new repairing RV’s. I heard about Dicor EPDM being the best option. I was wondering if anyone has every sprayed the roof...

Do you have any membranes that you would recommend. I went to two RV parts store and both talked bad about 3rd party EPDM and said only good stuff about dicor and didn’t recommend TPO
I have an aluminum roof so when it came time for replacement, I choose a liquid coating. Since I don't use membranes I'm not in a position to advise on any particular brand or type. I can tell you why I made the decision to use what I did, but you'll need to speak to those with a better understanding of membranes.
From my experience and conversations with other RVers, the type of roof and materiel is really equal to the installation quality. You can spend thousands on the best roof membrane yet have a hack installer and it fails within weeks. Likewise, you can run to the home improvement store, but a coupe of gallons of silicone roof coating for a couple hundred dollars, properly prep and apply the coating and 50 years from now it's still going strong.
When ever a person tells me to buy or not buy a product, I always ask them to explain why. Nothing worst than getting recommendations based on nothing but "that's what Frank used" or "Ed said that other product is bad".
