I know what is involved to fix that roof, I have done lots of major and minor RV repairs. I designed and built an entire new roof for one I fixed years ago.
So what is your opinion on EPDM alternatives like TPO and PVC ?
I am very impressed by what I have read/seen at RV Roof Install. They use commercial grade TPO and give a 20 year warranty.
TPO is "interesting" as all seams a "heat welded". Plus all items attached to the roof are mounted on a "curb" that raise them up about 6" above the surface of the roof. Pre-formed corners are "welded" between these curbs and the roof.
All seams and edges have an "under layer" applied first.
You will also note, they do not use any caulk/sealants ! They believe their "welding" process is adequate.
