EPDM roof 14 years old and wore out, now what ?!

The stuff really works and it's pretty easy. I power washed then scrubbed the existing with "Crud Cutter" from Home Depot. Cut in the edges with a paint brush then use a paint roller on the roof. Make sure you run the stuff through a bag style paint strainer first since it is very chunky. I put down 4 light coats over two days. I think I used about 1.5 gallons. I touched it up with one coat after three years. It's been 5 years now and will do one coat next year to maintain. Has not peeled, cracked, chipped. I highly recommended it.

Is there any reason i cant do part of the roof at a time ? Say 1 section each weekend, over 3 weekends ?

Really no primer, and dont have to remove anything ? Maybe i can do this afterall

You don't have to remove anything. I did remove the vent covers just to make it easier. It was four bolts on each cover. I didn't touch the A/C.

I did 30' of roof. It took two days, but I took my time and left the roof dry overnight. I also used a small roller to apply the Heng's because I wasn't in a hurry and wanted to check the roof as I rolled it.

Depending on the length of your RV, you could probably do it in a day, especially since you have the Eternabond and Dicor applied.
Just wash, let it dry and roll on the Heng's (or whatever you use).
I chose Heng's because no primer is needed.

How much does it cost for a dealer to coat the roof ?

Last year I restored the 20 year old EPDM roof on our Southwind.
It had a lot of black exposed.
I covered the seams with Eternabond and Dicor self leveling lap sealant.

After washing the roof, with Tide powder detergent, i applied two light coats of Heng's Rubber Roof Coating.
It looks good and held up to sun,wind, rain, snow and ice.

You can E/bond the entire roof but, why? Restoring with Heng's, or the coating of your choice, is much easier and a lot cheaper.

I'll probably be coating my roof next year. Probably get me 5 years maybe more? After that it will be a new roof.
