Help identifying roof

Hello all,
I am hoping somebody can help me identify what type of roof I have. It is a 1982? Holiday Rambler Alumalite XL. It seems like the roof was coated with something in the past giving it a textured look.
Rainy season is starting here in Oregon and I really need to patch these cracks. Most of the sealants for RV's say they are for a specific type of roof which is where I get lost. Any help is appreciated.

    Something like this. Clicky

    While looking at that product I came across this stuff by same company. It's a rubberized aluminum roof coating

    Can't tell by looking but most rv trailers back then were seamless aluminum material. I would have a rv tech tell you what the roof cover is and what type of roof coating has been used on it and what options you have.

    One picture looks like the trailer is a flat roof also normal back then. Those old flat roofers left puddles or lakes out in the center.
