I decided to re-coat the camper roof. This is 100% silicone and supposed to have a lifetime guarantee. It looks great, and I think it will outlive the camper. At least as long as I own it. I did quite a bit of research and this is the best stuff I could come up with. The coating, brushes, rollers and tape were just under $400.

The stuff I used. It's much cheaper at Home Depot than Amazon.

This is before, after scrubbing. You can start to see some of the black rubber showing through if you look closely enough.

Just started here and I'll be putting on two coats.

All done with two coats. If I get 10 years out of it, I'll be a happy camper. grin

That should be well worth the time and money. Leaks suck.

The roof on our motorhome needs to be re-coated. I have used Eternabond on the seams and stuff with great success.

my front porch is a >20 year old rubber roof so far has had nothing put on it , I have been thinking about doing this treatment to that , is that what on the camper under the first coat?

10x25 so not far off the size of the camper


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

If it lasts 3 years you’re doing good.

My thoughts also.
The product itself may be good but the flexing/ twisting of the roof I doubt would be the problem.

Hope it works.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

The roof of the camper is EPDM which is a rubber with a type of latex based top coat. This new top coat is 100% silicone which is supposed to adhere to these EPDM roofs.

I watched a few different videos where people used this product. This does have an issue sticking to the Eternabond tape. However, no one ever tried roughing up the back side of that tape with a little fine sandpaper. Say some 320 grit? I think it would stick if that were done.
