So, I'm considering have my roof redone - upgraded. Any new products or recommendations for what i should have installed?

Hi Agnitio,
I don't know that type of roof you have; when I purchased mine, I was told it had a rubber roof... not so, it was a vinyl roof, much like a table cloth with a fabric underliner. I got a small leak that allowed water to be wicked up by the fabric. By the time I realized this, much of the front half of the roof decking was starting to rot and required replacement; then, covered with a good quality rubber roof. Another quality issue with the older (200

FF's.

Check with a good reputable trailer repair place near you and good luck!!

Thanks for the reply. And yes, mine has the thin vinyl roof membrane, not rubber - but indont have any leaks yet, which is why I’m being proactive about it replacement.

Anyone know a brand or material type that weathers the best?

There are 2 types of materials used in most trailer applications, TPO or EPDM, both of which are often referred to as "rubber" as opposed to fiberglass or aluminum. TPO is newer to the RV industry than EPDM and initially had some problems, but those have been resolved. Either material is good but each has pros and cons. For example TPO is lighter than EPDM but it also costs more. I believe most FunFinders were made with TPO due to the lighter weight. Best to research the 2 materials and decide which is best for your particular situation.

New roof, no problem. Have Rhino Coat or a good spray in truck bed liner. Comes in white. Really works well. No more leaks. Tape closely to vents, ac and skylights

We just had our roof done by Home - DFW RV Roof (the main company website is www.rvroof.com). The customer service was amazing and love the roof. Her is a link to a facebook post I made with pictures.

From their web site, appears they only work in a very limited area.

Yes. Until a couple years ago, you had to drive to Florida to get this product. Now, I think they have 9 facilities. By the way, I would have driven to Florida...it is that good...but, I am retired and travel 50%+.

Thanks for the input. I am already talking to DFW RV Roof. They sound good and I am planning to go with them. Only issue is that September is the soonest appointment available.
