What is the best coating for a rubber roof?

[Law_Dog1812]

Hello all! I am not only new to this site but I'm also a relatively new RV owner and full timer! I have a 2003 Keystone Montana 5th wheel that is 32' long. I was in the process to start re-sealing the roof with dicor self leveling lap sealant, when I started noticing white stuff chipping off my rubber roof revealing black underneath in a few areas. It is cracked and chalky also. I even found a small whole in the white coating that i cod pull up and put my finger under and see black underneath as well. It needs to be completley re-sealed because the previous owner did a terrible job at maintaining it. I want to recoat and seal the whole thing and was looking at RV Roof Armor but it's pretty expensive and I would have to finance it somehow. I like the idea of someone more qualified doing it and the lifetime warranty that comes with it. I was hoping someone on here could give me a bit of guidance and advise on any DIY coating systems or products. If I can save some money I would like to but I also understand you get what you pay for. I'm gonna probably be in this thing for a year or two before we get serious about buying a house. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! When I figure out how to upload pictures I will post them. Thanks for reading!

Cover your seams, rips, etc., with Eternabond Tape prior to coating the roof. Use Dicor Self Leveling Caulk as needed.
Clean the roof well before applying the Eternabond and coating.

This is what I coated my EPDM roof with last year.

So far it is holding up very well. I bought two of the 5 gallon pails for my 30' motorhome. I bought one pail, not really knowing how thick to apply it, and how much area it would cover. Then once I had about 1/2 of the front covered, I decided I would much rather spend the time and money to buy a second pail, than to put it on thinner, and try to make do with one pail. I started putting it on really thick, around my leaking skylight, and over all my solar panel mounts.

Good luck,

Fred.

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pictures. I would like to get the RV Roof Armor installed personally. I hope it's not completely dead just yet.

Sounds like your roof is dead. Time to suck it up and install a new roof.

There are several products that would work.I like Bus Kote I've used it for years.
