Thank you, I am a 59 year old woman living in my 1997 RV and I love it, I watched your video on painting the roof and it helped me so much, thanks, Happy Holidays to you and yours 💜

Thanks for the video Honest Lee. I'm wanting to seal my work trailer and I'll probably use this. Appreciate you sharing. Hope the debt free journey brings you to your desired destination!

My grandparents gave me there 93 skyline nomad. It doesn’t leak now they had it renovated but just in case! Thanks bud.

Painting ours today. Pressure washed a few days ago, and applying tape now. Wish us luck!! Thanks for the vid.

Been living fulltime in a rv for almost 20 years. Welcome to the lifestyle.

Great job on explaining how to apply the roof coating. Danny and Lynn

This is so awesome! Congratulations on your journey to being debt free!

Nice video, so helpful to see the process and have links to the products used. Thank you!

Awesome. Take advantage of the ability to be mobile and explore the US. I know campgrounds are looking for handymen and sometimes let you stay free if you work while there. I plan on going fill time but my wife's job has the medical benefits so it is our long term plan. Excites to follow the journey.

'sup dood?! Just got done peeling the membrane off our '01, it was trashed! Now to get some new fittings, tape, trim, skylight, patch material....

I was advised to use a rubber coating on the roof of a cargo trailer i was hoping to turn into a home. But im likely buying a travel trailer to turn into a full time home, and need to winterize it and reinforce the roof. Either way im going to be doing this, so i appreciate the video.

Fantastic video! Thanks!

Right on man I just bought some Eternabond tape!

Got a 2007 nomad trailer just found a leak an didnt know what to do so thank you so much for this video❤️

Thanks for this video : )

Im a flat roofer. I would recommend powerwashing before coating the roof. I would also recommend using 2.5 gallons per 10ftx10ft area

Hi what materials do you recommend when switching out the roof due to a bad leak in front and back

Should you use henry tropicool on the slide outs? That's what I did since its a roof that sticks out almost all the time when parked. Its a bit too late to ask, but is that good?

Hi it looked like your didn't use any cleaner before applying the paint, is it not required for this product?? Thanks for your response and video Mike

The reason you scrub and wash your RV roof before you coat is 1 you want a really clean surface for it to adhere to( it will bubble up and detach from the surface over time) and 2 so you don't roll your dirt all through your coating(makes for unprofessional Grey and black swirly patterns in the coating).

I've got a 03 jayco legacy tandem AXLE 5fifth wheel RV with 4 slide outs I started on the rubber roof my roof looks good but I'm going to paint it before this winter 2022

How do you do the side of the roof. Like the 3" of the roof cap that is on the side of the rv

hi, i just bought the same rubber liquid, and i found a primer (Yellow contenant.same brand) so what do you suggest me please, do i need a primer before the coating ? Thank you

What about teardrops with and aluminum sheets?

My rv is 1999 holiday rambler we just purchased this and do we paint over the original or what do we do when we go about this?

I plan on doing this to my 2020 Rockwood 5th wheel this summer after I developed separation right behind the front fiberglass shield. Plan on keeping the old vinyl roof on as I’ve stabilized it with eternal bond tape and aluminum thresholds, does it make a difference what type of vinyl it has as to the rubber sealant. Also, I heard a hot sealant (whatever that is?) is better. Is your roof still holding up?

Looks Great, what is a typical price range for this service on a 15 foot travel trailer.

Is a pop out done the same way? Thank you so much for posting! ❤❤❤❤❤

Can you use this over TPO on the slide outs

How long does it take to dry with the first coat?

Same steps for conversion top Van ?

Can you use mobile home trailer top silver tar coating?

Guys like this keep us busy! See you soon.

Does this work on a tin roof with pitch also?

Thank you ❤

Good job, so you painted roof edge with brush?

How hot or warm does the outside temp need to be for one to seal coat their Motorhome Roof ? Does it need to be a warm temp, hot temp ? I live in Central Delaware, and am in the process of paying off a 1991 Fleetwood Flair 22 foot Motorhome. I noticed that the wind has recently wreaked havoc with the outer edges of the roof, so I was wondering if the roof can be coated while the outside temps are in the mid to upper 40's to low or mid 50's, or if the outside temps need to be much warmer for the seal coat to dry properly ? I am planning on getting some really large size tarps to throw up over the Roof and tie down until I can get the roof properly seal coated.

Thanks for the great video! Question, if you have to replace any of the sky lights like the one over the bathroom, how difficult is it to replace if you have taped it and rubberized it? What issues would the introduce if any?

Hi... thanks for sharing your experience... I have a 89 RV/motor home built with Alloy on the outside with multiple joints from the roof down.. every joint has a weather strip.. with a rubber seal to the body and centre strip over the screws. I have had a fairly serious leak down one side and used silicone to try and stop it.! It may not have worked! If it has not what of any product could I put under the weather strip to prevent leaks? Thanks in advance 👍🏻

Thoughts on how this would hold up on a trailer that sees extensive towing.?

Will just washing with a mitt and using Dawn dishwashing liquid clean a roof good enough?

I have a metal roof. Will this process work.

Would a wide squeegee work as well as a roller?

Can these sealants be used on a TPO membrane?

Did you use the roof seal on the slide too?

I'm seeing that the coating you used insists on a primer for EPDM rv roofs. But you didn't use a primer. I'm curious if it's truly necessary.

I have a 1987 wildwood I'm needing to seal the roof.

Very very important to clean / dry sweep . The only way to guarantee 💯 % adhesion. Maybe ? I just don't know.

I would put an air handler on the gable end,pull the heat out.

Sp its ok to walk pn the roof? I always thought RV roof would collapse with weight on it

What made you choose that brand of roof sealant?

Paint then tape and then paint it again.how that sound ?

How is your RV roof now? I didn’t see you had primer on. Thanks advance if you update this.

I would REALLY like to see what this roof looks like in a few years, especially around where the tape was coated with the roof paint.

How do I get the old spray foam off?

what size roller and what kind of roller did you use

Will this work for tpo roof

I’ve always wondered why trailer manufacturers don’t just put one big sheet of aluminum on the roof. Instead of a rubber membrane that eventually wears out. Most people would gladly pay extra for that!

Can you use acetone to clean or wipe the roof?

What did you do for the ends of the travel trailer where the roof meets the front panel? Tape over it and then paint over? Or did you do something else?

I'd love to do this myself, but I'm concerned about weight (me) being on the roof. I'm about 250lbs, but even you (who seems a good bit lighter than me) - I can see your roof flexing @1:55. Would it be safe for someone of my stature to be on my roof doing this? My trailer is fairly new - a 2018 Hideout 26LHSWE

Can I use undercoating to stop leaks

Cool Beans

It says to give it 2 to 3 coats that would mean 15 gallons for my 30 foot 5th wheel correct?

hey break 1 9er!!! or is that cqcqcq?

I can not believe that you did not wash the roof?

How is it holding up

I’m skeptical about getting on my camper roof as there is not a ladder for it. Thoughts?

Did you put it on the slideouts?

It’s almost like flex seal. But probably works better

How many proof was the denatured alcohol 100? 200 proof?

What about the slides I have a leak I just got rid of the mold that came in from the slide on my wall and on the other side of the slide was mildew on the floor I ripped up the rug I threw it out I put bleach I was told to use chlorine it was better I live in Florida the weather the nightmare but it dried but now I'm also water remove the Skylight because I want to put a smoke one on cuz living in Florida that gets really hot the bathroom and we had a storm and it blew off the cover to the fan in the bathroom so I'm going to buy a smoke covered one and then I'm going to put that protector cover over it when I bought the trailer I had that cover but I think someone got up there and stole it it's always something but what do I do on the slides do I caulk it first and then put that rubber Sealing because videos that I've been watching people been are washing the roof you swept it... is it better to wash it let it dry and then put that rubber sealing let it dry and do another coat I have a 2015 Chaparral and I got to stay on top of it it's all I have

Not to criticize anything but am genuinely curious to see how this held up. I know there wasn't much time available to put into it but the directions clearly state this must be washed down, not just broomed off. Most importantly, you are missing the primer the manufacturer states must be laid down first on EPDM roofs (curiously primer not needed if its going on metal roof).

I am surprised you didn't clean the surface before putting on the coating. I would think after a while it would start to peel off.

Used this, cleaned well with the pre cleaner, then the RV rubber roof products and its been peeling for 3 years, it's a mess!

I don't have a RV but I will do this if I should ever own one - thanks -Tom f4collector

I wonder if this stuff is similar to the "black mammy" tar-like stuff that is used in the southeast, where I'm at. Interesting. Hey, what was the name of the paint sprayer you used in the first video?

Do you also put the rubberized coating on the top of the slide outs?

Cuanto se cobrará por ese trabajo? Mi RV es pequeño de 20 pies No encuentro a nadie que me ayude 😥

So the tape goes right over the old sealant or do you scrape old sealant off around vents first?

Roofer here step one is power wash the roof off 😂 and that's why I get so much work from people who hired a "handyman" to fix their roof!

go ahead and go ahead

What if your camper has rermites?

Hengs is the best,

Where did u decide to park your rv for u to live in? Are u in an rv park?

I never reccomend that tape around items that need to be replaced. Fans ACs skylights because if they break and you need to replace them the tapes a pain to remove. I use the tape for caps and sides of the roof and slide roofs

Heeeeey! What about metal roofs? I might have put hengs aluminum coating without any tape. You think it will be ok for a few months or should I tape it now?

How did the tape hold up through the seasons?

I don't see the stuff used, u said you added links

Having used these products on a motorhome several years ago I can say that 1) Liquid Rubber and Eternabond are both excellent products. 2) You MUST scrub the roof absolutely and completely CLEAN! Sweeping alone is NOT adequate. Failure to do so will cause your new coating to delaminate from the original roofing material leading to failure and leaks. I have also worked on an RV roof which had been treated with Liquid Rubber without proper cleaning, that's how I know it will delaminate if not cleaned well enough.

Now place a roll of36x75 fiberglas self stick screen type membrane and recoat x2. Adds several years life. Red devil mesh at amazon and 5 gallons white roof coat at H Depot - @73$ delivered.

If your RV is more than 5 years old, I would buy new skylights, etc because they will be getting a littl yellowed and brittle by then. Easier to replace before you seal for life.

How far does one gallon of the sealer go? How long is the rv?

Can you use it on the slide out

So 4 years later do you have any feedback on how the product held up?

Coulnd't you just use something like ceramic coat?

What about rhino liner?

Do I need to remove the torn membrane 1st? Or do I roll right over it?

Why do some people use flex seal instead of roof coating? Is there a different?
