A friend recently asked how my RV roof was holding up, and it hit me that I should update you (readers) as well.
Since I assume not everyone faithfully follows my every post (though wouldn’t that be nice?), here’s a quick refresher: Nearly two years ago, I used RV Roof Magic to recoat and reseal the EPDM roof on my then-20-year-old travel trailer. I did the entire project solo, and you can read the full story—and see all the photos—here.
Fast-forward to today. My travel trailer is now 22 years old and still going strong, thanks in no small part to RV Roof Magic.
The coating has held up beautifully through blistering summer sun, heavy rains, the occasional snowfall, and plenty of wind. I haven’t had a single leak or issue since the day I applied it.
I climbed up there last week for a physical inspection and, aside from a little road dust I need to hose off, the roof is just as smooth and intact as the day I coated it—nearly two years ago.
Was the job a bit labor-intensive? Sure. But it wasn’t bad. I handled it completely on my own, and I’m a 60-something-year-old woman. You can absolutely do it yourself if you’re reasonably handy. Or you could hire someone to do it for you. Several campground neighbors wanted to hire me while I was working on mine. Honestly, it’s not a bad little side-hustle opportunity, if you are so inclined (I wasn’t).
Labor aside, the value RV Roof Magic provides is outstanding, so it is well worth the labor.
There are other coatings on the market, of course. But after seeing the quality of RV Roof Magic—and knowing it comes with a 10-year warranty—I can’t imagine using anything else on an EPDM roof. Recoating once a decade sounds a whole lot better to me than the every-2-to-3-year recommendations I’ve seen for other brands. I’m a fan, and I’m not shy about saying so.
