I sold a 1995 high end diesel pusher 2 years ago that had a gel coat fiberglass roof. The roof was as good the day i sold it as the day it was built in 1995. These rubber based roofs are made for todays RVs that are lucky to last 10 years.
This looks like a great product. Leaks in RV roofs are a huge concern for all RVers and for many folks, it isn't easy to climb up on the roof to do regular inspections, anything that can help reduce that is a plus in my book! I wish RV manufacturers would either put on a roof like this as part of the standard build or offer it as an option at their factory.
We had Flex Armor applied on our 35' 2019 5th wheel just a few months after we bought it. We wanted to make sure that we never had to worry about our roof leaking, and the best part is its maintenance free. We love it! It's guaranteed for the lifetime against any damage and yes, it's transferable to the new owner if you sell it.
Hi Izzy and MJ! Luis did a great job on your roof! I like it. Now you don’t have to worry about leaks from your roof. Thank you Izzy and MJ for introducing Luis to all of us. That’s not a bad price for him doing the roof. Great video! See you both soon!
We had our 40’ 2004 Tiffin Allegro Bus roof ceramic coated by MasterTech Rv In Elkhart Indiana. They removed every item on the roof then applied their lifetime transferable guaranteed never to leak ceramic coating. I believe the tensile strength is 3800lbs. It was pricey at $8000 and I hope the system you had installed works just as well. Thanks for ALL your great videos, keep the information coming!!
Last winter I installed a large racked solar system on the roof of my 35ft Class A MH. After I drilled 54 holes in my roof to secure the rack with toggle bolts, sealing each foot with Henry's Tropic-Cool 884 Silicone Sealant, I coated my entire roof with Henry's 887 Tropicool 100% silicone coating, encapsulating each foot to ensure there would be no water leaks in the future. My motorhome's 25 yr. old roof was not leaking to begin with, so only needed cleaning and prepping, not extensive taping or repairs. Henry offers a lifetime guarantee on their product, so I'm sure it will remain leak free for years to come. The best thing was I did the job for around $400 in materials (and a few days labor). While this RV Roofing Pro system looks like a first class professionally installed roof system, I really can't see spending over $5k on the roof of my $15k motorhome when there are lots of inexpensive, yet effective DIY options out there - especially since I'm retired and have a lot more time than money.
Same here-- Still no issues and looks great after almost a year. As you say, these professional products work great, but for a 10th of the price and some elbow grease you can get "good enough".
While some people are willing to spend the time doing what you have done, most are not. And silicone based products offer much less opportunity to do any repairs to the roof, like IF you hit an obstruction that requires roof repair. Additionally, walking on a roof coated with silicone based roof coatings is a precarious experience, as with just a little moisture, it becomes slick as a skating rink. The other input I have is that a single RV owner will likely NOT have the experience Luis has and so it becomes difficult to know how to recognize, avoid and work around issues on the RV roof that Luis has gained the experience for from YEARS of doing this type of work.
Excellent video! What I've been hearing by a lot of people as we full time is they've had the advanced roof coatings applied under an insurance claim. Most of us have roof repair/replace insurance. This is a product I could see having installed on our fifth wheel, because we all hate roof maintenance.. lol
@@EndlessRVing so very very true. Now it would be a great added on service to offer such as the fire suppression tubes and those run flat bands that NIRVC offers. If we ever were to move up to a Class A and they offered a no leak roof option with lifetime coverage… I’d sign on the dotted line!
so if you need to replace those solar panels, how easy will it be to remove now it is sealed in, and once you put the new panel, does the entire roof need to be sealed or just that part ?
To remove and replace those solar panels or any other equipment, we would cut into and around the seams/ brackets with a razor. Then expose the screws with a scrapper and remove them. Pry up the equipment. Once the new equipment is sealed and installed, we reapply our fabric, embedding it into multiple coats. The whole roof would not have to be resealed to do this.

Silicone roof products DONT allow for this kind of work after the original roof has been done. This product & system is VERY FRIENDLY to those situations.
All these types of roof products do well however when something needs to be replaced like a vent or AC or antenna or if you add anything to the roof you will need to get that area redone. Just part of the process to keep your warranty
OK sounds like a great idea if you have the money to do this upgrade. I do have a question for you. You did talk about this but forgot what is was called. You take it in every year and had a testyou ran for water leaks. What was that called again. I need to find someone to perform this test. Thank you for your help.
I was wondering the same thing. Covering the existing roof material still leaves you at the mercy of the original adhesive between the underlayment and factory roof material which can still fail.
there is a company that strips everything off and sprays on this tuff coating, that will never come off and is hail proof. Not sure about the cost right now but 2 years ago it was around $10000.00. What he said last night this could easy be close to $7000 without the membrane removed, but it’s still only painted on
@@rvhome5599 While the application process is similar to "painting", whether rolled or sprayed, the product is a coating not a paint and with the thickness being 24-28mils, that provides a substantial coating. It is applied much like deck coatings for commercial and residential buildings, using painting equipment but with much more robust products.
We wanted to buy release but the shipping is over 25 bucks. Do you have any other options where the shipping is not 1/3 the cost of the product? Thanks for any help, shipping is a deal breaker
Wow, that’s amazing. Of course a lifetime guarantee means the lifetime the company is in business. $160 LnFt. If I owned a $400,000 and up RV it’s a great deal. If I owned a 5th wheel $80,000 new and after 5 years and in good shape $30-$40,000 valve. If you could prove your application would increase the value of my RV $5000-$10,000 potentially it would be something to consider. Other than that, peace of mind also has value 🤷♂️
No because you cannot buy the same product. It is made exclusively for RV roofing pros. You can buy other product but it is not close to the same quality.
I know they got this for cheap or free for the plug but what I would worry about is this: one, when you need to replace a vent or sky light now what? Next, for $7,000 or more they don’t do the whole roof they just go under the AC as far as their brush goes?! That defeats the whole purpose there is now a weak point in the roof, both AC units… will water pool in the place of the original roof now that it’s basically a little lake under there and there is no sun to dry it up? I had a Bounder years ago that had a rubber roof and there was a company that charged I don’t know maybe near a grand and they did this same thing but with Henry’s Tropicool coating which you can get at Home Depot or Lowe’s and do it yourself… not sure if it is good for other roofs because at the time that roof was rubber… now TPO is the common roof… but I would assume it would work just the same way and it’s cheap and durable and easy to patch.
Be aware that EPDM & TPO roofing products are made liquid and allowed to cure/dry before it is installed on the RV. Some RV manufacturers are now realzing the benefits of liquid applied membranes and are doing this at their factories.
Why dont the rv manufacturers do this when they build the rv. even with a higher price this would be a great selling point, if it's as good as they say
I need some of that cleaner to get the streaks off my new stick and tin. Wish this could be done at the manufacturer, and the company could give a lifetime roof warranty. These membrane roofs from the factory are too fragile for my taste.

Some offer as an option but the process is much longer vs the quick factory process
We did ours in May. Put a Flex Armor roof on. No more tape or dicor. Lifetime and it follows the VIN # love it 😊
2 years so far on our flex armor and looks like the day it was first done!
Can't beat Flex Armor Roof. We had ours put on last November
@@conniel72461 I agree had ours put on in 2018
We’ve had our flex armor roof for a year and love it!

Awesome job !! Looks really durable too. Having a leak proof roof is great piece of mind.
A lot less work for us.
We had something similar added a few years ago and it still looks awesome!!
You answered my two questions... cost and repairability... Well done!
Looks great. We opted to go with a flex armor roof and had it done at New England RV Roof.
Water is the enemy! TY
Filing this away for future reference! Great video.
Hey, Thanks for sharing! I truly appreciate videos like this. Learning a lot watching your channel. Thanks again!
Glad you like them!
Really nice! My motorhome is 2 1/2 years old and already thinking of the equivalent here in the Midwest.
WOW! Amazing roof product and application. Makes one wonder why the RV industry hasn’t standardized on this method. Thanks for letting us all know.
Because it takes a lot of time to do things right.

Looks like a grate producket
Release Cleaner looks "LIKE" the real answer to RV cleaning issues.
I like my RV Flex Armor roof.
Awesome !!!!!!!
Looks like something I will be interested in. Since I can't get on the roof.
What needs to be done if you have to replace a vent or anything else on roof cause he said they go up the vents
Excellent question. I hope we get an answer
excellent question 2. Sky lights, vents and I think you create a low spot under a/c where water would pool.

We never had roof leaks. We just don't want to maintain the roof ever again!
Thanks. 🌈

No different than resealing you would have to do anyway. You are just resealing the right way.
@@EndlessRVing correct just was not mentioned is all
@@boomersontherun we did mention if there was damage to the roof what the process would be.
My wife and I have been talking about this type of product for a few years now. Eventually this is going to happen.

Sealtech Rv leak test
Since they tape up the side of the skylight, what if you have to replace the skylight due to damage?
Cut the layer replace the skylight and reseal
Does this product penetrate the existing roof material to make sure it seals and does not laminate?
I was wondering the same thing. Covering the existing roof material still leaves you at the mercy of the original adhesive between the underlayment and factory roof material which can still fail.
Roof is inspected prior to coating. If the membrane is not good then it would need to be replaced prior to coating.
there is a company that strips everything off and sprays on this tuff coating, that will never come off and is hail proof.
Not sure about the cost right now but 2 years ago it was around $10000.00.

Izzy, did he say if they can tape over the existing Eternabond?
Yes they can
Can we get him to come to Montana?
Contact them through website
A no maintenance roof would be awesome!!! But, I’m sure that it will still need to be inspected periodically.
Only for external damage.
He should have said the cost for his camper n also stated the linear ft.
The cost is length of your coach x price per foot.
Do you stop when it start raining?
??? Stop what?
@@EndlessRVingwhat do the roofers do when it is raining?
@@russellgrunch2640they don’t work when it rains

Wow, that’s amazing. Of course a lifetime guarantee means the lifetime the company is in business.
$160 LnFt. If I owned a $400,000 and up RV it’s a great deal. If I owned a 5th wheel $80,000 new and after 5 years and in good shape $30-$40,000 valve.
If you could prove your application would increase the value of my RV $5000-$10,000 potentially it would be something to consider.
Other than that, peace of mind also has value 🤷♂️
People who don’t want to deal with their roof anymore would be interested in this type of roof
Ok I’m not genius but linear foot? How do you figure out the linear foot on a 45 ft coach?
45 x the cost per foot
Q:
How many pounds does it to the Rv per linear square?.
Depending on the length of the roof, about 120lbs spread out.
Is this something the RV owner can do on their own
Absolutely. It will save you over $6,000 on a 40' rv.
No because you cannot buy the same product. It is made exclusively for RV roofing pros. You can buy other product but it is not close to the same quality.
Looks like a great product. But have to ask the question. "Guaranteed For Who's Lifetime". I'm Just asking...
Lifetime of the motorhome.
I just wonder how much weight that adds?👍🏻🇺🇲
Approx 120 lbs spread across the roof
@@EndlessRVing thanks 👍🏻🇺🇲
Do you guys have a place in Oregon?
Best to contact through website
What about a rubber roof? I have a 2008 1181 truck camper.
Yes it works on all roofing systems
Will he come to Oklahoma or has an associated company here?
You can contact through website

FlexArmor.
Why dont the rv manufacturers do this when they build the rv. even with a higher price this would be a great selling point, if it's as good as they say
Because this type of roof takes a lot of time vs how quickly roof is put on going down a manufacturing line.
I need some of that cleaner to get the streaks off my new stick and tin. Wish this could be done at the manufacturer, and the company could give a lifetime roof warranty. These membrane roofs from the factory are too fragile for my taste.
