We are doing the same on our 1987 rv. I found the kit at rvpartsnation.com for 30 ft kit $423.95 thinking I'm paying for EPDM but you are forced to check the box before ordering... "they reserve the right to "upgrade" to Superflex"... if it's a lot cheaper & upgrade / better... why is there this message?? Feeling like I might should just order from Amazon. Curious what you guys ended up doing & how did it work out? Thanks in advance! โค๏ธ

Get the Superflex, it's the better mousetrap. I was skeptical at first but our 17 Rockwood came with it so had no choice. I would need to scrub the EPDM roofs on prior campers twice a year to keep them white and with the Supeflex that involves once at the end of the season. A light brushing using Dawn and it looks like the day it was installed. Takes 20 minutes. No more marking of the sidewalls from the EPDM chalking off either.
This has been the first membrane roof where the sealants have not cracked in the first two years like the Dicor sealants are prone to do.
The link in the other post where the guy had an Alpha Systems roof go bad after 5 1/2 years would not have been Superflex. Prior to Alpha coming out with Superflex they previously marketed EPDM and TPO. That's what the poster in that thread had to have as it was a 2010 camper, and Superflex was introduced @ 2014.
Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?
