Spray on Bed Liner Roof coating

On the weight issue, they are removing the old rubber roof before putting this down. So when factoring in the weight you have to subtract out the weight of the rubber roof. I would be it's close to a wash because I don't think this stuff is all that heavy. If it's 200 pounds spread out over the entire roof, that basically almost nothing.

On cost, I can tell you I just had a friend that replaced the rubber roof on his motorhome and he told me he paid over $5000 to replace it. He did it at Camping World so I think it could have been done cheaper, but if you are at a point where the rubber roof needs to be replaced, it sounds like it's close to the same in price as this stuff.

Now to those of you that have had the process done. Just how much weight do you figure the new roof added to your bottom line weight? Since weight is an issue when it comes to mpg and other issues would not want to put something on the roof that the roof supports could not handle.

Well,
I'm not sure how all the other independent installers operate but, the one here in San Diego, basically only applies it in "Silver" or, a reflective version of Silver. As stated quite a ways back, the company can, for a fee, paint the radius edges, all the way around, to match the colors of the coach, if so desired. But, based on their tests, they have determined that the Silver color is the best for reflecting the suns heat and, other elements. And, it has also been stated that, it's a "quieter" roof now because of it.

As for weight, it's not even a consideration. First off, by adding a few pounds here and there, it's not going to make any difference in gas mileage. Second, if they remove a rubber roof, then install theirs, the difference will be minimal.

Again, I've not had it done but have seen several of them at the repair facility where our coach is being repaired for body damage. And, it looks absolutely great.

Thanks khahuna,

I think I could live with an additional 200#. Even though my coach is tan, dark brown, and beige I could live with a white roof.

Anyway thanks for the info.

Enjoy your travels.

My roof is white ... under the white is a gray membrane. I was told that if and when the white wears off to bring it back and it would be recoated.

I haven't reweighed the coach since the roof was applied but, an estimate would be an additional 200#'s.

On a side note, one of the mods on here put down the liner himself on his rv about 1 - 2 years ago and did a pretty big thread on it.

Does anyone have a link to his thread? I cant seem to find it though the searches.

Thanks.

camping connection of kissimmee quoted me $100/foot. They dont remove the old membrane though.

they have ads on the radio for "Rhino Seal" for houses now. You never have to paint again. :B

I had my 37' coach done at David's Permanent Coating's, Inc this past April. The coast was $4839.00. We noticed that the rain hitting the roof was much quieter and the interior was easier to cool down in this Florida sun.

As far as sealing openings, I just finished changing out my 36 watt solar system for a 400 watt system. I had previously run the wiring down the side of one of my sewer vents. When it came to removing the old wiring it was a real chore ... the roofing material did not want to let go. Soooo, I would say it does a great job of sealing seams.

If I ever purchase another MH the first thing I willl do is have the roof sealed using this process ... money well spent in my opinion.

Just curious, does anyone have a "ball park" figure on what it would cost to have the done on a 37 ft Class A?

We've had a lot of leaking problems, especially around our Fantastic Vent which has stained the ceiling. We are going to try and have a new headliner put in, but don't want to end up with the same problem after that.

Had ours done last year...$135 per foot. Our total with new skylight and exhaust fan was $5000.00 Worth every dollar. I do not have money to throw away but I love this roof and know I will never have to go up and reseal the seams.
