Spray on Bed Liner Roof coating
Evening, I read an article recently about an outfit, I think in Florida, that is putting spray on bed liner, like the Rhino liner, on RV/Motor home roofs. The article said that once applied there wo...

iquilt888,
I've been pushing these conversion roofs for quite a while now. I've often told folks that if they're really fond of their present coach, have no plans of selling anytime soon, and, are NOT FOND of rubber roofs, then spray on roof is the solution of choice.
We had "booboo" (to say the least) on our motor home recently. Someone moved my house and I backed into the corner of the rain gutter and eve. The place that's doing the work, San Diego RV Center in El Cajon CA, is one of the prime places that does that type of roof coating. I've seen many up close. I've talked extensively with the Service writer on the actual procedure.
The rubber is completely stripped off. The "Luan" underlayment is analyzed for structural soundness and, what's needed in replacement, gets it. The A/C units are removed. All other vents, etc. are taped off. The spray coating is done over the radius on the sides and partially on rear and front.
When done, your roof is "completely" sealed. And there are NO USUAL POINTS TO LEAK! They guaranty it for a very long time. Now, almost all the ones that I looked at, at their facility were "Silver" in color. I asked about that. They stated that there's been some extensive testing on interior temps and that Silver has the best reflective heat capability.
But, for an extra, around $1200, they'll prep and paint the radius's to match the colors of the sides etc. of the coach. The coating itself is between 1/8th and 3/16th inch thick. And, it IS FLEXIBLE! It will move with the coach.
They had several rigs already done when I was there last week and, the word is getting out. They receiving more and more calls and inquiries pertaining to the "Change-over". And, from what I saw, it most certainly was not "OLDER" rigs. Of the ones that were there, there were several newer, full body painted higher end coaches. There was a very nice looking Providence, a Monaco, two newer full body painted Bounders and, several 5th wheels and one travel trailer.
If my roof was not machine buffed, hand polished and waxed, I'd be seriously thinking about it. To me, it's an outstanding solution to any existing and, potential roof issues, especially with rubber roofs. While I did inquire about a price, I didn't pay that much attention to what the answer was 'cause I knew my roof didn't need it. Here is their website, just in case you're interested. There is a video of the roof coating.
