Rubber roof treatment

[lizzyhermit]

Do any of you treat the rubber roof on your RV, other than an occasional washing with a mild detergent?

Nope. For more info, there's some good stuff on the website of the EPDM (rubber) roof supplier for most of the RV industry:

I had a '91 Terry with a white rubber roof that I never touched. Just got rid of it and got a new Tahoe. That roof never gave any problems, and you know how hot it gets here... (see my sig)

I have only had mine for two years. I washed it twice but that is all. My manual does say to treat it but I haven't done so as of yet. Glad you posted this question. I have been curious about that too.

plongson,

You bring up a good point, however I would like if you could expand on this a little.



Did you have it garaged part of the year?

Was it tarped part of the year?

Was it under anything part of the year?



Just a few questions so we can understand how it held up so well in those kind of conditions.



Thanks,

Ron

It must be "BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMICALS" because it spent its entire life outside. The first six years were in southern Californa and the last six were in southern Nevada. It was never under any cover...
