RV Roof Sealant And Coating Needed For A Rubber Roof On A 2022 Forest River R-Pod  

Question:

Which Alpha rv roof sealant would you recommend for a rubber type roof. It’s on a 2022 RPod. I heard it has to breathe so a silicone product is not recommended. Also which liquid roof coating product do you recommend?

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. If you're needing any sealant to put on the walls you'll want to switch to their non-sag sealant # AL43KV.

As for the roof coating, you'll want the Alpha Systems 4034 Roof Coating for RV Roofs - 1 Gallon # AL34CV. You will need to clean and prime your roof prior to putting down the coating.

Would you put the sealant on before or after you have primed and coated the roof?
