• RV Roof Sealant And Coating Needed For A Rubber Roof On A 2022 Forest River R-Pod
  Hey Rodney, For a rubber roof you can use the Alpha Systems 1021 Self-Leveling Sealant for RVs # AL98KV. This is self-leveling sealant so it's design to pool a bit before drying and would only be good for use on the roof.

• Should I Replace or Reseal the Roof on My 2005 Keystone Sprinter Fifth Wheel?
  Hi Deb, first, I just want to say I'm really sorry to hear everything you've been through. I hope this Keystone gives you a safe, comfortable place to call home, and I'd be happy to help you make the most of it without spending money where you don't have to. From everything you described, I would not replace the entire roof membrane right now. A chalky TPO roof is very common as it ages, and by itself it doesn't mean the membrane has failed.

• How To Apply The Alpha Systems 4034 Roof Coating To An RV Roof
  The rule of thumb here in most cases is, the smoother the surface and glossier the paint, the shorter the nap. With the roof of the trailer being fairly smooth a 3/4" or less nap would be the better option. The manufacturer recommends a 5/16" or less nap or to use a paint brush. There's a lot of debate about sliding the roller or actually letting it roll. In my opinion sliding the roller will lead to uneven coating since you're more so just pushing the sealant around. Keeping an even...
