What type of roof is this?

I have a 2002 Fleetwood 31W GT class c. The roof cover has a textured surface - not flat like the EPDM onot my previous trailer and 5th wheel. The standard self leveling dicor and eternabond tape seem to adhere well. I have been scraping off and replacing all the seals as a previous owner had used a variety of sealers including silicone on it.
I am considering a full recoat of the roof, but want to know what this roofing materials is and what would adhere to it?
The surface feels harder than EPDM does and has a texture. It is a membrane that is bonded to a fabric - I can see that in a couple of small tears.
Thanks!

Thanks all. It appears to be TPO. I don't ask fleetood as they have been useless every time I have asked previously. I guess support and warranty end at same time with them.

It does not sound like coating is a good option for TPO. For now I continue with eternabond tape and self leveling sealer until a new roof is required.

I'm not sure about 2002, but when I was shopping in 2004-2006 Fleetwood was touting TPO on their Tioga/Jamboree roofs as a superior fabric.

I don't think EPDM roofing was bonded to other materials in RV applications. TPO was sometimes fabric backed.
