Rubber roof care?
Sitting outside while grilling and my neighbors are using a pressure washer on thier rubber roof... I've always heard that's a no no. He is using it up close too. I think i'll mind my own business.

Considering the sun, hail, torrential downpours....not to mention ice and snow.
Maybe I should install a roof OVER the roof?
I've been using pressure washers for longer than I'd like to admit. The trick is to use the correct tip, correct pressure, and keep enough distance from what you're cleaning. The soap that's being used should be doing the heavy lifting, not the pressure. A mid-grade pressure washer actually uses less water than a garden hose.
On a related note: EPDM roofs don't benefit from washing but it may keep streaks off the sidewalls.
My TT has been sitting unused under trees for 5 years now.
There is "black" and pine needles and dirt over the whole unit.
I will clean it top to bottom and then spend a good day inspecting and re-sealing everything.
I'll be back to square one so that I can neglect it on my own schedule.:)
