“Just a great product, went on easy and looks great.
Just completed my 35 Bus, cut in the wrap around sides and around the ACs and vents.
Spent the hardest time on cleaning and prep. If you are looking for a product to seal your RV, stop looking !!!!”

“RvRoofMagic is amazing. My RV roof was a disaster. I have been battling leaks for a few years now and no other product would stop the leaks or even last more than a few months. Everything else would peel up after a while. It rained a week later. Zero leaks! The product goes on easy and covers well. No cracks no bubbles. I am very satisfied and would recommend this product to anyone. There are so many products out there and scepticism runs high. Your company and the product did everything it said it would.”

Thank you again, I applied this product to my 38 footer travel trailer and love it. The hardest part was the prep cleaning my roof . It did bubble up a little I think I left some moisture on the surface near the Air conditioner but after a few days roof returned to normal and no bubbles. I also used your cleaner (WOW) and that also made cleaning roof easiler . I also used rv roof magic on my plastic rain gutters that are attached to my deck . No more leaks on those plastic rain gutters LOL. sorry i didnt take pics. I cleaned off my roof today and dirt rolled right off the roof by useing just a garden hose . Again I am very happy with your product and fellow campers are asking me what I used on my roof and show them my empty can of rv roof magic . Thank you again

If you haven’t had the opportunity to work on your coach roof to perform periodic maintenance or to have it repaired, you are in for a real treat. Well, not really!

MotorHome roofs are probably the most neglected component of the entire coach. If for instance your refrigerator quits working, you immediately notice the lack of cooling, and have it repaired quickly because you don’t want to be without the ability to cool food (or beer). Certainly, if your furnace or stove goes on the fritz that will be another hastily repaired item as would be any other component of your coach that you need and use that is ‘in your face’ every day.

So why not take care of the roof? More than likely you never go up there so you can’t easily see it. Most of the time to the best of your knowledge the roof works and you probably don’t even think of it until your need it to keep the elements out. If the elements start to be too friendly, then it’s too late. If your roof is leaking to the extent that you can see signs of water inside, you more than likely have already suffered some sort of interior damage. Water intrusion indicators are outside fiberglass wall delamination, water stains inside on the ceiling, and inside wall buckling.

At the time of this writing and to the best of my knowledge there are only a very few coaches made that have a one-piece roof. They are: (a) the Monaco pusher line except for the entry level model, (b) the Country Coach, and (c) the Fleetwood American models. If I am wrong, I’m sure someone will let me know and I will make the proper corrections. If your coach is not one of these, you have front and end caps that seal via roof seams to the main part of your roof. The seams along with all roof penetrations, even on the above-mentioned coaches, are the source of potential problems. From the day the coaches are rolled off the assembly lines the roof seal sealant starts to deteriorate. And to help the natural process along add sunlight, road crud, oils, moisture and temperature variations. All of these elements, and who knows what else, are out to get you and your roof. It is just a matter of time. Before long you will find sealant cracks, sealant deteriorations to the extent that holes in some brands of sealant, and in some cases, you might even find that the sealant has completely disappeared. Take a look at your roof and its seams. If you can’t do it safely, have someone do it for you. You owe it to yourself and your coach.

So, what do you do to protect your roof? I’ve tried about everything known to mankind. There are some very good sealers out there, but I have found firsthand they are relatively short lived. After about two years, or less in most cases, the sealing process has to be redone. The trick is to reseal before any damage occurs. I had a problem on a Monaco once that had a minor water leak above the shower on the skylight. I didn’t even know it was leaking until I took the coach in to have a periodic check of the roof seals. After inspection of the skylight the technician found considerable water intrusion damage to the main roof structure. I was lucky to have found the problem and have the proper repairs made before a more extensive problem occurred. This was a Monaco with a solid roof, no fault of the coach maker, just too long between periodic inspections. So, no roof is totally maintenance free regardless of the cost of the coach.

You may have heard me talk of a new product on my Weekly Tip called Rv Roof Magic. I have used Rv Roof Magic and found it to be as good as the company advertised it to be. It was very easy to use. Rv Roof Magic is the only Liquid Butyl Rubber in the world made in the U.S.A. with a 25-year history of success. It is the only RV roof coating with a 10-year warranty particularly warrantied against leaks in standing water. It is a coating designed to extend life another 15-18 years with a single coat application and it never needs a primer unlike the other coatings we have written about. There are many products on the market ranging from asphalt-based products, rubber solution (Hypalon, Neoprene, Silicon), water-based Acrylic and your standard elastomerics which we have found out time and time again just don’t hold up.

What makes this product so special is the proprietary solvent they developed. As the product is drying the solvent will chemically cross-link thereby fusing itself to the substrate it is being applied over. Choosing the right product requires some knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of each type. The most widely used liquid coatings for example in the RV industry are acrylic elastomeric products. These are easy to use, have good weatherability and cure quickly in warm weather. But they have too many weaknesses like they vulnerable to sudden showers or freezing temperatures soon after application, and they have inherently poor resistance to ponding water. Another drawback for the acrylic products is that they do not work over single ply membranes, and many require primers and multiple coats. Some do not work on certain type of roofs particularly TPO. Rv Roof Magic is a true do-it-yourself product that will work on any roof type except silicone, making installations easy and the choice obvious.

The chemistry of the product has two unique features not possessed by any other rv coatings; it is unaffected by ultra-violet and ozone, and can tolerate continuous exposure at temperatures over 300 degrees F. The latter feature is also what gives the best aging properties (retain flexibility longer). Some of the unique benefits of the product are: Can be applied over all roofing materials; UV and ozone resistant; Excellent against ponding water; Waterproofs within 3 hours of application.

I recommend you try this product. Even if you use this product, be sure to check your roof periodically. If you don’t bother to periodically inspect your roof or worse find an issue and don’t fix it now; you could be in for huge problems and costly repairs. Remember, your entire coach lies beneath your roof.

“Two pictures are the before and then after using your product RvRoofMagic. Very pleased with the way it turned out! And also, the shipping sure came quickly. Have a great and safe day!”

“Sorry guys, we did not have time to work on the video you requested, but I can tell you that we are more than pleased with the performance of the product . Its self-leveling ability was really impressive. When we applied, it within 30 seconds we saw the brush strokes disappear. Set up great and easy to work with. We actually had some left over. Guess we ordered a little too much and put it on our supply shed roof and it worked great. I called your office about having us stock the product in our store in a couple months.”

“Well, what can I say, the product everything you guys said it would ( I was a bit sceptic have to admit). This is our 8th RV now and the customer could not be more happy. Next order we will work on some pictures for you guys. What we really like about the product is that it goes on very thick, so it is really a new roof when you look at it after is dries. Our bays are also not tied up anymore because we usually will apply at 9:00 in the morning and tell the customer to come after 4:00 to pick it up. I wanted to wait a few months until I gave you my feedback and I can say this is the first time in 7 years one of our clients is telling us his roof did not leak during the winter months. We will be ordering more in the spring. This is the only product we will be using. Less headaches !! ”

“Everyone was SUPER helpful and knew the product, properties and application methods well. I applied the rvroofmagic to our trailer in about a 2-hour period one evening. It was tricky at first with the application, from a novice who had not done this before, on the flat surface as well as rounding the corners and down on the sides about 6 inches. It went GREAT! Needless to say, I am super proud of the product and the finished job. I cannot thank your folks enough for the support and quality of the product. Excellent. Coming from a process management philosophy and background, it leads me to be extra thankful for outstanding processes with outstanding people. Thanks again, ”

Here is what I say about my finished product now…. “No drips, no runs, no errors!”

I purchased and applied RV Roof Magic about a month ago. It looks great and I am hoping it will last for some years to come. I have not had any leaks so far. One side benefit has been that the reflectiveness of the product has apparently helped in keeping my motorhome cool. For twenty years we have gone to Cape Cod in the summer and have always battled keeping the unit cool. This year I have been able to run only one air conditioner on low and keep the unit at 69- 70 degrees, parked in full sun. For a motorhome with single pane windows and is 21 years old, this is amazing. Thank you. At 37 feet, I did not use all the 5 gallons, but when I get back, I will go over some of the apparent problem areas with another coat. Thanks for the great product.

I promised the company I would send in some comments after we have had a chance to use their product. Well after 5 years of using this product, we feel very confident talking about it. We have been in the rv repair business for the last 17 years and have tried all the elastomerics, acrylics silicone’s and everything else. First, I will review my experience with these products and then discuss the rv roof magic. The problem with most of these rv coatings is that they require primers depending on the manufacture and the roof type and most require two coats to get any warranty. Then after about 4-5 years they start to crack. Customers call us and tell us it is our fault, and we go back and forth with the blame game. Many are not compatible with certain roof types like TPO or Alpha rubber which is made by Fleetwood. Customers come to us expecting us to put the cheapest product on their roof. Fine we will do it but would never give them a warranty. Now we simply don’t take that business its just not worth the small difference in price to get a nasty customer coming back blaming the labor when it was a failure in the product.

So now for the rv roof magic. Skeptical to say the least when our company started using it but after a year we were sold. Fantastic customer service first of all which is really hard to find these days! They actually return calls. Then the fact that the product does not need a primer and only needs one coat allows us to close more business with their product. Hey, we are all for making more money! The other products that required primers and multiple coats end up costing the customer much more money Now there are additional labor costs to apply the primer and multiple coats. It would have been cheaper with the Rv roof magic from the get-go. The main reason we have committed to rvroofmagic is the simple fact that in the past five years we have never had someone call us with an issue with the product. We can’t say that about any other product we have put on a roof. If you want to put down a cheaper product and have to worry about doing it all over again in a few years by all means. We have had plenty of customers who went down that road. But if you want to be done with leaks and have a very aesthetically pleasing roof then rv roof magic is the ticket. I still owe these folks a video so once we get a good candidate in our shop we will record one and sent it out so you can post it on your site with the others.
