I'm trying to decide on how quickly I need to recoat my rubber roof. I recently cleaned and resealed all of the vents/skylights etc on the roof. I also gave the roof a good cleaning that took about 4 hours using rubber roof cleaner from Camping World. I asked about the condition when I went in, based on the pictures I had, but they only told me to bring the RV in. So I thought I would ask the knowledgeable people here and see what you guys think. Here are the pictures:

Looks good to me as well. The roof is rarely the problem. It is the seals, the Dicor, and the caulking that bring about the leaks. I don't see any reason to bother bringing it in.

I would lubricate the batwing antenna though with silicon spray, if you haven't already.

The best thing you can do for it is leave it alone. Cleaning only shortens its life and the white protective layer of your roof looks to be in excellent condition. I see absolutely no need to re-coat it with anything and it looks to have many years in it before needing to do so.

My roof membrane is 19 years old, sits in direct sunlight every day in Southern California. I wash it once a year with water and soft brush. It is now at the point where I have to recoat it. I have made a few repairs over the years using dicor type products. In a couple of weeks I will be coating the entire roof with Henrys 280DC from Home Depot.

Yours looks great compared to mine.

How old? T appears to be in decent condition. Maybe some Dicor recoat product on the entire roof will get you nice and bright white again for a few more years.
