Motor City Swagman,
Yes Sir, I've done the exact system you're looking at. It was the Dicor two part system. Yes, we did tape the sides of the coach with visqueen and followed the instructions to the letter. My son and I did it to our previous coach, a '99 Fleetwood Bounder 34V. At the time we did it, about 5 years ago, the roof was almost completely black due to the deterioration of the white coating over time.
Well, some say to leave it alone, and don't put anything on it. Well, that's up to them. But any human on this planet knows just what "Black" does in temperatures to anything it's attached to or, on top of. So, yes, I went with the Dicor system.
But, here's the deal, If you do it as the instructions say, and, as we did it, it's all done in one day. Yes Siree-bub, it was a serious amount of work in ONE DAY. But, it was all worth it.
We got up at 6:00, had the washed and dried by about 07:30. Then, taped off the sides with visqueen. Then, appied the cleaner prep/conditioner/primer, what ever they call it. Then, up came the pressure washer. Well, guess what, that took care of the visqueen. So, I just had the wife down below with a garden hose continually sprinkling water on the sides so that chemical system did no damage.
Then, by about 10:30 or 11:00. the roof was dry and ready for the first coat. By about 2:00 or 3:00, it was ready for the second coat.
When it was all said and done, about 4:00 in the afternoon, without a doubt, it was worth every inch of effort. And, like stated, it was done about 5 years ago and, it looks as good today. I cannot attest for any other product, just that one. If, I had a rubber roofed coach today, and really wanted to keep that rubber roof, which there is no way I'd want to, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But, like stated, I'd not keep the rubber roof, I'd have the whole roof spayed with the "bed liner" stuff they use in pickup beds. They're seriously stronger and way more durable and considerably quieter. And, they're guaranteed to be that good for 20 years.

Here's a picture of how it looked the next day after we did it.
