Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 2006EPDM Coatings Liquid Roof Opinions
hello, After talking to one of the local RV repair shops about the cost to replace my rubber roof @$18 a square foot. 32*9=$5184 before any hidden repairs that will be needed. is this a normal price or ? am I at the wrong place for roof repair or replacement. the roof is in great shape, but I am doing my usual scouting so when and if it goes I am not scrambling. I found a product liquid roof from EPDM Coatings, 105 Radcliffe Ave., West Lawn, PA 19609 just looking to see if this one method to repair that roof when it goes or is something else out there that is a better product or ? thanks >hello, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I used that liquid on a MH that I had a few years back. Some places peeled off, I may not have had it clean enough. With a new rubber roof being that high, I would do a lot of looking around and observing some finished work too. You might check with who ever built your rig.  SignatureBILL P. Just Me & DOG > hello, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > is something else out there that is a better product or ? > thanks Not sure if this would work or not but EPDM is available as pond liners and you can buy seeming kits for a few dollars. Paid $39.00 for a 10X10 and 11.50 S&H. a 10X 50 is $180 plus truck freight all 45mill. Maybe buy the liner and have it installed or a DIY project. (www.azponds.com) No affiliation other then ordered a pond liner and got it in 3 days. It is black on top and black with white printing on the back. Ed Thanks, this is what I was looking for, other than the black instead of white, which may be a heat factor, but for the prices I have been quoted. this seems like it is well worth it. now if I can watch someone take one roof off and put another roof on. do all the rivets along the top seem of the RV have to be pulled and riveted again? if so that is a fair amount of work. But seems like it will be a necessity to get the RV to seal at the seams. this will be the DIY project. it either that or the tar bucket when the roof fails. somehow this seems a little cleaner than the tar pot. any homemade videos out there of a roof being removed and replaced? >> hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Ed > Thanks, this is what I was looking for, other than the black instead of > white, which may be a heat factor, but for the prices I have been quoted. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > any homemade videos out there of a roof being removed and replaced? http://www.outerland.com/RV/Roof/ After looking at this site and getting a rough estimate of at least $5000 to replace a 40' roof, we decided we could change the roof ourselves. Ordered Dicor roofing and installation kit from Camping World last week. The installation kit is here, just waiting for the roofing to arrive, so we can start the tear off and repairs. Wish us luck. Oh yeah, here is a new rule-of-thumb when purchasing a used RV. When the original owner says the rubber roof was recently resealed and does not know what was used to reseal it, assume it was done wrong. Mary Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I am glad to see that not everybody goes to the RV shop and has this work performed. I was beginning to get a complex, that I am too cheap or have a screw loose. yes, it is labor intensive, that is why they can and do charge so much for this R&R. But my budget does not allow for me to have something done that I can do. I guess I will have to get a helper. The roof job looks great, I agree when you have it off, seal and replace any bad wood, double seal joints, make it last for the next 25 years or so. You have completely documented the R&R, thanks for a great site. >> Thanks, this is what I was looking for, other than the black instead of >> white, which may be a heat factor, but for the prices I have been quoted.

Saving it for a surprise at an upcoming PNWCO? Alan >>http://www.outerland.com/RV/Roof/ >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Alan Alan, Two years ago we bought a 40' park model Aljo for our daughter and her gentleman friend to live in on our property. It is a 1993. It has 2 tip-outs and is about as big as the apartment they shared. We have to do the repair here, as we can't move the trailer with their stuff in it. The rubber roof arrived today. We can't make it to PNWCO. We had planned to go in the Spring and that fell through. Since that was the plan, we booked the Timeshare at Lake Tahoe for this coming week. So can't do both. We are planning to come in the Spring next year. Don put in his retirement papers this week. His last day will be Dec 8. We will miss all the Pinwiko'ers. Mary >> Hi, Mary >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Mary Sorry for the delay - just back from the PNWCO. We'll be looking for the two of you next spring! Sounds like you'll have your work cut out for you on the park model - hope the weather cooperates. Alan Hi Check out this site. A gentleman posted it on the newsgroup and I found it interesting and saved it. He had plenty of pictures and a clear explanation of what it took to do the job. If you are truly interested this is a web page to check out. Once you peruse it you will find out why it cost so much for the replacement. http://www.outerland.com/RV/ Lee (in Florida) > Hi Check out this site.

I wonder if he and Hunter are related? SignatureKevin W. Miller > hello, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > is something else out there that is a better product or ? > thanks I'd check with some companies in your area that repair or replace roofs on mobile homes. Neighbor across the way in the MH park my mom lives in had a new EPDM roof installed on their MH and I'm sure they didn't pay anywhere near the price you are quoting. At that price the roof would have cost as much as the value of the MH. Mickey |
