Thanks everyone for their posts. Heng's seem to have a good following. However it is interesting that no one has used Proguard, which has a five year warranty if applied properly.
. People have used Proguard but it is much more expensive than the acrylic coatings. The proguard or liquid rubber is liquid EPDM and is suppose to last longer. The EPDM roofs have an outer white layer that will slough off in time exposing a black rubber substrate. Once the black is exposed the black rubber will absorb the suns rays and heat up the RV. My roof started showing the black at about 12 years of age, my friends MH is the same year as mine and his roof is entirely black now and hot inside because he never coated it. I coated mine with one coat of Cool Seal because a friend gave me a can when he bought a new MH with a FG roof. It looked great for 3-4 years then it started to wear of. My roof is 25 years old now and has never leaked . It looks about the same as it did at 12 years of age, so I figured the coating extended the roof’s life by 12 years.
