I had a EPDM roof that was properly maintained, not damaged, caulked frequently, etc. and at 5 years service the membrane started failing. Moisture was leaking through the membrane. This is obviously an expensive issue and the 12 year rubber roof warranty that all manufacturers advertise is totally worthless. Try to make a claim and see how far that gets you.
A misstatement of fact. The 12 yr roof warranty is on the membrane itself, not the trailer roof, and is not offered by "all manufacturers" but rather by the membrane manufacturer which in the majority of cases will be Alpha Systems. If your rubber roof membrane was thinning to the point where it was leaking before the 12 yr mark any claim would have had to have been made to the manufacturer of the membrane.
I am very aware of the membrane warranty and who offers it and that it is on the membrane only. I am also very aware of where a claim should be filed. I am also very aware that Alpha Systems offered $227.00 toward replacement of a 5 1/2 year old membrane that was failing. Are you aware of far $227.00 goes toward replacement of a rubber roof?
That is why I went with RV Flex Armor. No more rubber roofs for me EVER!
