White rubber roof life and replacement cost?

Never knew bed liner spray could be done. Sounds like a fantastic and cheap alternative.

I called up a RV dealer and he said it is about $3000 for a new rubber roof on a TC. Said he could repaint it for a fraction. I never thought the rubber roofs were so $$.

There's a company here in Houston that does the spray on bed liner stuff, 1/4 inch thick and it's amazing. My roof is still flawless, but when it starts to show wear, I'm going that route. Their systems is more soundproof and virtually indestructible, AND it's seamless. A 25 foot RV is only 1700 bucks, so I'm betting that a small truck camper would be maybe half of that. One time, and you're done. No more resealing.

My father replaced his 97 Snowbird FW roof last year and said it could have gone a few more years. It's never been covered, was washed once or twice a year and spent about 1/3 of it's life out west.

He also replaced his 99 Bigfoot TC roof last year and said it was due. That camper was from Texas until about two years ago and we have no idea if it was washed regular or maintained.

For all of our RVs, regardless of roof type, we paint the seams any time they start showing cracks with a elastomic paint. This is a maximum of once a year, sometimes we can go two or three years between painting depending on the weather.

Mine is 17 years old and still looks great. Most of the time it's been stored under cover but last 3 years have been uncovered and cleaned twice a year.

Scrubbing it may reduce the lifespan. Leave it alone other than caulking.

I guess I've been lucky only having to re caulk once. Since I never cleaned it do you think it is too late for mine?

With care it should last 12-15 years. Cleaning, inspection, and recaulking should be done twice a year.
