Loose roof membrane
Hello all, we just purchased this 2006 jayco jayflight 29ft. We took it on our first trip this past weekend. On the way back to storage the wife said it looks like a tarp is flapping on the roof. Ende...

I'm certainly not bashing anyone here or anyone's decisions on rubber roof issues, but I am totally of the opinion any rubber roof is a disaster waiting to happen regardless of age. My rubber roof membrane started failing after 5 1/2 years service, I full time. Now if you are a weekend camper and your rig sits under a roof most of the time I guess rubber might be ok, but for me NO MORE RUBBER ROOF EVER.
I had mine replaced with RV Flex Armor, rvroof.com, and the difference is amazing. Obviously no more leaks through the membrane, but the sound silencing is amazing as well. I can actually hear my television when it is raining. My RV Flex Armor was installed in January 2016 and this is my first summer with it. I host in Panama City, FL and the difference in how my a/c's work is amazing as well. The RV Flex Armor coating is 3/16" thick and the extra insulation allows my a/c's to actually cycle on/off during the hot summer afternoons in direct sunlight and 90 degrees.
If I were going to buy a new RV right now, which I'm not, I would have the RV Flex Armor installed before I ever moved in and would consider this extra cost just part of the price of a new rig. Yes, I would spray over a brand new rubber roof and all of the caulking required to keep it from leaking.
I do not work for or have any interest in RV Flex Armor other than being a completely satisfied customer.
