Rv roof /Travel trailer roof repair/ Silicone roof coating( DIY)

[@timkasten343]

Did my roof in 2015. It’s on the pacific coast in the desert 100 yards from the beach. Still working great! Worth every penny!

[@OurBackwoodsHomestead]

Can you use this on a rubber membrane roof? I have used Dicor and Enterabond Tape around all my vents, front and back end caps. Will this product work over the Dicor & tape?

[@bryanbird7770]

Thanks for the detailed video. How has it held up for you?

[@zbow1974]

had my roof plasti-dipped when i bought mine, been 5 years no issues having it peeled and redone this winter.

[@userjones3399]

Around the fixtures aren’t you supposed to strip the old stuff off and then apply a fresh seal? I’m a little confused

[@IWillSmurfYou]

Yes!! Very unprofessional and ignorant

[@byronewhite]

Not if the present seal is healthy. Stripping the old seal can lead to rubber/tpo roof damage. Just spread the coating on heavy on these spots. This is a nice basic repair that will extend the life of the roof for 10, maybe 20 years. Doing my rig right now. 🤠

[@pinkiepie1656]

Do a few layers over the years, then remove it all and start over. Like when they pave a road three times and then tear it all up and start again.

[@YOUTUBEfucku]

Funny I did your mom in 2015 !

[@YOUTUBEfucku]

Nope. Not always !

[@humbertoestrada2721]

Love your helper great job

[@ReesesGT]

Has it help keeping the rv cooler?

[@mark98070]

Awesome video, thanks for your expertise.

[@stewbuntu]

So why not do Henry pro grade? Is it the same thing? Thicker?

[@flip1ink421]

Thanks for the Video Appreciate the tips

[@frank8614]

I have a rubber roof on my camper. Its a 2019 and there are several bubbles. So far no leaks. Can I seal over these or do I slice them, then re-glue and seal the roof ?

[@majuangel7293]

Hello,If a part of the plastic on the air conditioner breaks, can water get in?

[@jonpurvis4870]

No, it shouldn't because that plastic cover protects the a\c components and has a metal plate that sits on the base of the rv roof.

[@jimnummerdor9687]

I’m curious as to if you had problems with the coating separating after a few years. It didn’t look like you had the roof very clean. I just did my roof with the same product. You might want to consider snap in gutter extensions.

[@lionsden7777]

How can you tell if it is EPDM or not? I am new to trailers and have to fix my roof.

[@ageingviking5587]

Will it work on my leaking rolled vinyl trailor roof?

[@JamesMisplaced]

I have a fiberglass top, I'm pretty sure on my van high top roof on my conversion van. Does anyone know of anything that works on that?

[@jonpurvis4870]

Silicone should be fine on that. However, you could call the number on the bucket and double check. Just make sure you prep it well.

[@JamesMisplaced]

@@jonpurvis4870 Thanks

[@unlimitedsonic9322]

Why haven't you used the Eternibond Tape Sealant first around the edges before putting the silicone coating?

[@bodybounce_bylisa]

It's a good thing he didn't. Because Henry Tropi does not adhere to that tape, and it starts to peel off.

[@saladbreath607]

​@@bodybounce_bylisaThere's a version of Eternabond tape called Webseal. It's backing is specifically designed to adhere to a roof coating applied directly over it.

[@thehalloweenaddiction1843]

How is this holding up?

[@On-down-the-road]

I would do the covers, a/c and maybe the pvc vent covers too.

[@jonpurvis4870]

Thats a good idea!

[@2025willbebetteryet]

I've seen silicon and acrylic rv roof sealers. I'm debating between Henry and STA-COOL silicon or the Dicor acrylic. What are your thoughts between silicon and acrylic? Thanks

[@challenger07151]

I like the silicone better because it doesn't absorb water, mind you that only is an issue if you have any spots where water can sit or pond. Acrylic is still a good option but will require reapplication sooner as well.

[@jedbrim6405]

That Henry tropical cool shit is 112$ a gal js....

[@dontbelievethehype5426]

Thanks 👍

[@ambrosiazurfluh8350]

I have used this as well and have a slit on the edge normally would use repair tape but cant seem to find it for silicone. Do you have a product i should look into to ise?

[@jonpurvis4870]

they make a seam seal with fibers in it. But you can use silicone with some polyester fabric or fiberglass like I did around the skylight, and you should be fine.

[@mckennabrian9]

Silicone doesn't stick to die core.

[@shoes121255]

It does. However dicor doesn't stick to silicone.

[@stanleyborton]

How did you manage to get that 5 gallon bucket up on the roof ?

[@jackbaker1258]

Well part of your gutter is missing. That’s why I drains down the side.

[@jonpurvis4870]

you're correct the gutter Kick out was broken. I did eventually replace them, but in the wind the rain still runs down the outside wall. But my latch has definitely been better since just the silicone coating.

People do not use Henry TropiCool for your Camper Roofs. Once coated this stuff is a dirt magnet and your roof will look like crap all the time. Also you will not be able to use any type of sealants over it to seal around your vents, etc that require yearly sealing. Your roof will look good and brand new for a week or two right after sealing, after that you are in for a headache. Don't ruin your camper roofs with this crap there are acrylic based alternatives out there that are way better than this stuff.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

Couldn't have said it better you know what your doing. Just dicor around seams. Painting the whole membrane does nothing because it only leaks at the seams. But he's a roofer 🤣🤣

[@JohnPhillips-y3r]

They make a caulking for it. Home Depot sells it. We have had this on our rv for five years. Not one problem.

[@jonpurvis4870]

@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 Actually over time the pvc roof gets brittle and surface cracks/splits. we've Been applying silicone on 18yr old dura last roofs that leak in the field. The silicone has been working well to seal and rejuvenate the existing roof. Rv didn't have any leaks roof was just degrading so the silicone was mainly preventative maint. still holding up well.

[@Ch0p-69]

​@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 I'm a RV technician and I replace roof membranes all the time. coating the whole membrane makes it much more resilient to damage and small tears. It's good preventative maintenance and a way to avoid having to replace the entire membrane. If I owned a RV, I would absolutely coat the roof. These rubber membranes are garbage and expensive.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

Your a roofer and you don't even know what membrane you are looking at. That is EPDM and silicone doesn't stick to EPDM. I'm not a roofer and I know that

[@JesseVAyers]

If your EPDM roof is in decent condition, you CAN renew it by installing a silicone roof coating system cover over the existing membrane.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

@@JesseVAyers 🤣🤦

[@richvh3961]

Tropicool is made for EPDM

[@randallzook5570]

You absolutely can apply Henrys tropi cool to all rubber roofing materials. I've watched 30 plus ytube videos watching people do it including expert RV inspectors. They all love this product and say it is the best roof sealant on the market as long as it is properly applied to a clean leak free roof. All seams must be watertight and the sealant in good pliable condition or should use Eterna bond tape before the Henrys. Once the Henrys has been applied, all future repairs if needed have to be silicone based.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

@@randallzook5570 you can do a lot of things doesn't mean it's going to bond to the membrane. I could smear applesauce on the roof and it would work better
