Rhino Roof

It's becoming a popular solution for RV roofs. You can actually do it yorself fairly easily from what I have seen. There are some videos on YouTube

Search for herculiner RV Roof or spray on RV roof. Herculiner is a rhino like product you can get at most auto supply stores. It can be rolled onto your RV roof and seals just like the rhino lining will. It's a lot less expensive.

Interesting, but would it even adhear to the exisitng rubber roof? I know when they did my truck bed there was a lot of prep required.

Proper preparation would be key to success, otherwise you will have a big mess on your hands

I believe Rino Liner is now marketing a roof system. It is basically the same stuff only much thinner since a roof does not get the same abuse as a truck bed, and the stuff is quite heavy. Since they use less product it should reduce the cost, but not likely. Prep is the key to success.

I wonder if you could use it only on the seams like Eterna Bond?

I had rhino liner applied to the plywood floor of my cargo trailer. it is HEAVY!! rhinoliner is more flexible than LineX. It has worked great as a floor in my trailer, but from my experience I wouldn't even think about using it on the roof unless they have reformulated it considerably for roof applications. The reason is that even with good prep, it doesn't stick to plywood near as well as it does to metal. And it does have a tendency to develop small cracks when if flexes. I'd be concerned that it wouldn't make a good long term seal over the roof decking and trying to get anything to stick to it along any edge seams could be very hard. I haven't found anything that will stick to the rhinolining on my trailer floor when I tried to seal the edges as they wrapped up onto the walls. Silicone, dicor, eternabond, sitkaflex (sp?) will peel right up.

Now if they have reformulated for roof applications it may be a completely different story.
