This has been around longer than that eco coat as far as RVs. You might want to check it out. RVRoof.com
Thanks, I will look into that. The local Rhino guy has mentioned that instead of Eco coat, a lot of people are going with the regular Rhino truck liner and a paint called Tuff Deck (or something like that). It is cheaper than the Eco-coat.
On another topic, we have hit a major slowdown on the build due to a problem with Sikaflex. Two of the bottles of Sika 210 Primer were gelled when I opened them ($50 a bottle!) and I had to get the company to send me a new batch even though these didn't expire until the end of may. This past weekend we opened one of the new bottles (Oct 2013 expiration) and it was fine, nice and liquid. We used it Saturday and Sunday but when we opened it up again Tuesday evening, it too had gelled.
At $50 a pop for a wee bottle, I am not going to be able to work on this part time during the week, because I would end up using 20 of these bottles if they gell like that. The Sika 205 cleaner (which I think is really just methanol) seems to have no issue storing after opening. The Sika 210 primer does make a world of difference on the adhesion of the Sikaflex 252 to aluminum and steel. Without the primer it is sticky and has a pretty good hold, but you can peel it off of the metal if you get a good start. With the 210 primer it is unpeelable by any means (have to cut/sand it off).
Had I known I would be spending $1500 just on glue for this build, I think I may have gone some other method.
