Coleman/Fleetwood ABS roof repair

Question

I would like to hear from anyone who has repaired and recoated their ABS roof. Was the repair successful?? I will be gluing a few cracks and coating our roof in the next few weeks. Three coatings I have read about are Kool Seal elastomer roofing material, Grizzly Grip and U-Pol bed liners. If anyone has used these I would like to know how well the repairs held up. I am hoping to get 4 or 5 more years from our twelve year old trailer.

I know this topic has been discussed a few years ago, I'm hoping someone who accomplished it can relate their results.

We had a crack in our roof, about a foot long originating from the corner of the A/C Unit. We took off the A/C Unit, and found another, smaller crack. I drilled a hole at the end of each crack (to release the stress), and put a bead of RTV, smoothed with my finger, over each crack.....RTV'd the heck out of the A/C Gasket area, and reinstalled the A/C Unit.....that was 2 years ago, so far crack has stopped, no leaks. It seems that the dealer installed the A/C Unit (or factory), and forgot to round off the corners of the cuts in the roof

hanks for your reply, I will start working on mine next week, I haven't decided if I will coat it with Kool Seal or Grizzly Gripe yet. I would love to hear from someone who has used either of these coatings a year or two ago.

Thanks again.
