- The company that does the install in your driveway is a roll on, not a spray. The Flex Armor version is 1/4" thick. Try to get that thickness with a paint roller. Flex Armor is more expensive, but worth it to me. I had mine done in Madison, MS. Great company there to work with and they are not an RV Dealer, they are a service facility.

IMO if they warranty parts and labor for life I wouldn't care if they did it in my bathroom. If they come to me no matter where I'm at.
Warranty "for life" can also be.......the *life* of the company!..:W
In your bathroom:
It they go out of business, your lifetime warranty just went down the commode!..:R

We have looked into both Flex armor & rv armor. Rv flex Armor would cost about $6500 at Mesa, az. I believe they require yearly checks at the facility. RV Armor would be about $4000 and I don't remember annual checks. We have a 33' fiver with 3 slides. RV Armor will not warranty the slides because of the potential for tree debris snagging when pulling in the slides, but we clear our slides before retracting. These prices compare to having a new EDPM roof installed by the manufacturer at the former plant for $4000 (+cost to go to Kansas). Although we think the Fl option looks very good, the need to be without our unit for days & transit for rechecks, as well as initial cost difference, is making us lean toward the"driveway" version. We look forward to hearing back from folks who cose one or the other... Thanks!
Don't guess about anything. Call the dealer and ask. This is not the place to ask how a dealer does something or what their warranty is.- IMO if they warranty parts and labor for life I wouldn't care if they did it in my bathroom. If they come to me no matter where I'm at.

- Yes there are two companies with similar names. I would use RVRoof.Com. You take your RV to them and they do the install in their shop. The other company comes to you and does it in your driveway. Too much chance for dirt/debris/tree sap etc to contaminate the spray when they do it in your driveway. I stopped and talked with their sales rep at the Tampa RV show 2 weeks ago. The material thickness they spray on is impressive. And it covers all the seams of the skylights/antenna etc. No more Dicor/Enternabond. When my roof needs replacing, I'm using them. I see that they branched out now from Florida and have outlets in Az, Mississippi, Texas and NC. Like anything else the quality of the job depends on the skill of the installer. Don't know if I'd feel comfortable at this point with going to one of the places outside Florida as those places appear to be RV Dealers. The Fl. locations do just the roofs and have been doing it the longest.
- Don't confuse RV Armor with RV Flex Armor RV Flex Armor. RV Armor started up in 2013 and rolls the coating on with a paint roller. RV Flex Armor will only install their roof in an inside controller environment and the finished roof is 1/4" thick. They also replace a/c gaskets as they strip everything off of the roof during the prep work.
I don't work for this company, but they have been in business for many years vs RV Armor that is advertising for mobile installers. I would be scared to death of this concept. But that is just me I guess.
I had my the roof on my 5'er replaced with RV Flex Armor two weeks ago after the original rubber roof started to leak through the membrane. downtheroad wrote:
I think I remember calling them and if I remember it was around $5000 for a 26-30 footer.
I called an authorized shop here in Mesa and was quoted > $7k for my Komfort. They =strip= the roof; vents, skylights, A/C, antenna, etc., before installing. Old membrane comes off and the quote was for NO additional repairs, if needed. For an 11 y.o. FW that's worth about $12-13k, it's a total non-starter. Now, if it were offered from the factory...
Lyle- The only problem I see with this system is the confidence the RV owner would have in it most would not get on the roof to do periodic inspections. The warranty the parts and labor for life but I'm sure if a low lying tree limb tears it it won't be covered.

What happens when you replace a vent, satellite dish; refrigerator, etc.?
Ask them.
