TPO or EPDM
Did some searching but didn't find what I was looking for. Simply put, I have to re roof my new to me 2008 Thor/Dutchman Freedom Spirit 180, due to leakage at that stupid Winegard antenna. Didn't find it when I bought the trailer (it was cheap, trade in to a dealer).
I am working inside a building, and have been stripping A/C, trim strips, vent caps, etc from it.
Looking at the Dicor website they have both TPO and EDPM and then also have TPO called Brite TEK which is TPO with a fleece backing to make it smoother, less likely to show irregularities, and makes it somewhat stiffer, plus some additional hail resistance.
Which is preferred, which is best?
Neither the radio or TV antenna will be reinstalled, off to the garbage they go.
It also has an A&E 8500 awning (vinyl coated material) that I will probably replace the fabric with Sunbrella (which basically makes it a model 9000) as the awning won't last more than one or two more years and while its off, it is the perfect time to replace the fabric.
Last question, where are good places to purchase the materials for the roof and the awning. Surely someone has researched and found the more reasonable priced places already.
