RV Rubber Roof- The INS & Outs

There is a lot of advice available on the internet regarding RV roof types. Every roof type has its own pros & cons, but will deliver the desired benefits if maintained properly. Knowing the roof type is very important because only from there you will come to know how often the roof should be inspected, which products should be used on the roof, and when the roof will need replacements. If your RV has a rubber roof, than you’re among the few lucky ones because rubber roofs are the most durable ones.

Making sure that Roof is Rubber

Rubber roofs come in two types EPDM and TPO. Consult your RV manual to know which type of rubber roof your RV has. If you don’t have the manual don’t worry, you can still find by a simple eye and touch test. A TPO roof is much shiner and slicker than EPDM roof. Also TPO roof comes with heat welded seams and comes in variety of colors. On the other hand EPDM roofs look exactly like the inner material of black rubber tube. The surface of EPDM roof is more matte and it comes only in black and white colors most probably in white color as it reflects heat.

The Benefits:
