Liquid Roof, Amount Needed
I put this same stuff on my 18 year old Bounder, and am happy that I did - wish I had done it sooner while my roof was still in great condition. The factory roof material is designed to sluff off, that is the top coat flakes off to keep it looking new, but the sidewalls of the RV look bad with white streaks of the EPDM material. Once you coat it with something like this, then it will not sluff off, and no more white streaks! The roof will last an additional 10 years too!
There is a link on their website with instructions on how easy it is to apply. It was pretty easy, and I used a paint brush and coffee cup. I dipped out some with a coffee cup, then pour on the roof, and smooth out with the paint brush.

He bought a 1 gallon container to do all the seams, and then applied a 6 gallon container on his roof the next day, getting the seems twice!
I bought a 5 gallon pail, and did about 1/2 of my roof, then ordered another pail, and finished it a week later. If you click on my name, then click on 'view posts' you can search 'roof' in the subject line, and find my post about coating my roof.
The hardest part is washing the roof really well before applying the product. Then it dries for about a week, unless it is warm. It can rain without damage just after application. It takes about 3 days to 'cure' in 70F weather. Shorter time in warmer weather. You have about 3-4 hours of 'pot time' that is time after mixing in the catalysts before the stuff starts to harden inside the can in your typical Florida 80F weather.
Good luck on your project!

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a
Porsche or Country Coach!
If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!
I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
