Wonder if anyone out there has ever sprayed their roof with something like Line-X?

Gdetrailer,
Is your roof flat? Mine is curved. I like the aluminum idea.
dougrainer,
Redecking sounds expensive. But I do value your advice.
Well, You CANNOT install EPDM or TPO over the existing EPDM/TPO. You CANNOT install new EPDM/TPO over the existing wood subdeck after you remove the OLD EPDM/TPO. You HAVE to redeck. You overlay the new decking with Wood Glue/screws. Doug
Never heard of needing new decking for a new roof, nor have I ever seen any shops put on new decking unless the old was rotted. Nor have I ever seen this requirement in the instructions from EPDM roof suppliers either.
Where is a reference to needing new decking??

Hi,
The RV is from 2004. What is the best way to recover the roof. It is some sort of flexible material.
Bed liner over what is there?
New material?
Remove old material and use bed liner?
I won't be doing this myself.

Gdetrailer so what you are saying is that it is a waste of time painting anything as it will not stick and wash off. I hope you didnโt pay for paint on your vehicle or your home. Yes there is prosesses for applications of most coatings and everything has a limited lifespan but maintenance do extend this.
Frank.

We just had our roof done by the folks at RV-Armor earlier this year - it costs a bit more, but it's one that has a lifetime warranty tied to the vehicle's VIN so it's transferable. It took a total of 3 days to complete the job, and they came out to where we were parked. Very happy with the results so far.
Hi Alan,
May I ask what size / type your RV is?
What was the approximate cost?

First, I commend you for "doing the right thing", a complete re-roof ! It is the only way to know if there is damage to the roof deck and/or the supports. Any flexible roof covering has a life of about 10 years. UV (sunlight) is the enemy. Biannual washing and treatment with a UV protecting will help extend the life.
EPDM or TPO are the only realistic options. TPO comes in different grades/thicknesses. TPO does require some special tools to weld the TPO.
