New Roof installed - RV Armor should I get it

[tsjoshua]

I just had the roof and side walls replaced on my 2017 motorhome (long story for another topic), and am nervous about having future problems. I have seen some posts on the various roofing systems, and am considering getting my new roof done just to mitigate any future issues. I guess I am just looking for some feedback (good and bad) from those that have made the move and what they think about their specific roofing system.

My initial OEM roof membrane started failing at 5 years of age and it had been cleaned and inspected every six months since new. If I was buying another rubber roof I would have Flex Armor installed before I ever used it. Worrying about leaking caulking and reapplying just isn't worth it to me. That hairline crack can destroy a rig and by the time you notice it the damage is done.

RV Flex Armor here. Installed January 2015. I should have done it when the rig was brand new rather than waited.

During the past 6 years the Flex Armor roof has has withstood numerous weather issues from hail to a 6" oak limb falling on it and no damage from anything so far. And zero caulking to monitor or reapply. My wash/wax guy just washes the roof off with some Dawn and a soft brush during each wash/wax.

Fantastic product.

^^^ this!
Exactly ! Maintain it at least annually and Wait until it starts to fail. It’s a NEW roof for goodness sake. It should have many years without issues . Why throw money away ?
Very odd to have a 17 have problems , if they fixed it properly it should be fine.

If you want a maintenance free, trouble free, will last longer than you roof. FlexArmor
You have to make an appointment and go to them, it takes about a week to have it done. Cost about $170 per linear foot.

I wouldn't...however I go on my roof about three times a year and re-caulk any cracks I see.

Have been doing that for 14 years and never a leak yet.
