Product Comparison
There are a number of options available when considering options for repairing your RV roof. Most travel trailers and 5th wheels come from the factory with some form of a rubber roof membrane (TPO or EPDM). Class C and Class A RV’s often come with a fiberglass roof, but may come with a rubber membrane as well. Many owners default to replacing heir roof with the same inferior materials to match what came from the factory.
There are several aftermarket options available today. Many RV owners have replaced their roof with rolled on liquid polymer roof coatings, with some applying it themselves, and others paying a company to apply it onsite (“we come to you”) who include some form of a warranty. While many are happy with their results, we have encountered RVs where these coatings failed, and we’ve replaced them with FlexArmor.
Another less common option is companies that spray bed liner onto an RV roof. While similar in some ways to FlexArmor, this material and the processes of those applying it aren’t focused exclusively on RV roofs, leading to eventual failure.
Lastly, we’ve seen a variety of attempts to use products from the hardware store or advertised on TV products that simply aren’t designed for RV roofs with disastrous results.
The chart below summarizes the key differences between FlexArmor, and other commonly available other for replacing an RV roof.
