What is the difference between Liquid Rubber and Liquid RV roof? They look like they are made by the same company...

One is designed to have a little more flexibility and stretch with the moving and twisting of the rv as it drives. both are really good and will do the job. if you have an older "looser" chassis and structure that bends a little more than usual go with the RV Roof.

As Long As They Are Both Liquid EPDM I Don't Know That There Is A Difference.

Liquid rubber can with stand ponding water where other RV roof sealers are not recommended for standing water. Don't mess around with the cheap stuff.

I don't think there is any difference but I just used 6gallons of E P D M white and it is EXCELLENT and sealed the roof of my 40ft prevost

Always get a new radiator cap with a new radiator. Read others experiences. There are differences in thickness of plastic and caps. Sorry, but that is the best advice I can offer. Make certain that there is a rubber gasket. Things happen ...........

Yes we used this Liquid Roof RV coating on our 32 foot RV as opposed to taking it back to the dealer for them to do it for $400.00. It has worked quite well and will definitely use it next year again.

Hi, I'm not sure what the difference is of those materials, but it looks like a durable canvas type of material with almost a plastic like nylon type of feel to it. The rain leaks through the middle of mine and a little bit in other places. I've had mine for atleast a year and I see one little hole in it about a few inches and it could have been my son's husky dog that bit it, but am not sure. It's still holding up and I don't intend on buying a new one for a while longer, hopefully another year! And I live in Texas and this thing hasn't faded yet and our weather is very hot and very sunny.

Yes, what you are buying is the actual soft-top roof. You will reuse the bows/frame, rear window bar and header from your existing roof. This is simply the replacement material. I've had it for a while now after installing it last winter, and have been very pleased with its quality. This is about as close as you're going to get to a factory replacement.

Hello Nancy, I have good news for you. I just checked and they are the rubber seals. Great question I never even thought about that before I purchased them. They are also well constructed, You should be satisfied with the quality. I hope this helped you out. Have a Great Day!

While i have not installed these on a fiberglass roof, it would be no different than on a rubber roof.The inner part of the vent slides down over the vent tube that comes thru the roof of your RV. The 3 screws that come with it fasten the conection together. The cone that seals out the elements simply sits in the roof and can be sealed with most quality RV sealants. After the application is complete and seal is cured, i like to finish the install with Flex Seal spray sealant you see on TV. There is nothing with the install that needs to be screwed into the roof. Enjoy the seasons and fish well.

The liquid rubber comes with a catylist which must be mixed in to the gallon. Yes, you can apply it over a rubber roof. Mine has been coated for 2 years. No leaks.

I would not even try. the product is more plastic than rubber. The color is not exactly white either. Not the same quality that rubber made use to make. You can find the same item at WalMart all but the center protect cover and that you do not want as it does not stay in place. You may try RVcamping stores for a smaller size.

One additional comment. The reason I replaced my original cover is because the TX heat weakened the plastic and it came apart while we were on the road. To rectify that problem I used a piece of metal about the same thickness as the plastic cover strips, drilled holes in the metal were the cover mounts to the RV and placed the metal over the cover flang as I installed it on the RV. Now the entire length of the cover is held down with a full lenght metal strip. I clean the roof of the RV twice a year but never saw the plastic starting to fall apart. I don't I will ever have to replace the cover again. One additional comment.

I'm sorry I don't know what this gasket is, but to my way of thinking rubber would be better than plastic.

I would be concerned about roof leaks and wind when driving the RV. RV roofs are flat and pooled water would probably seep into screw holes. I supposed you could glue it, but that's a total hack. Driving with that on the roof would be potential trouble as well.

The reason they tell you to cover the RV with plastic sheeting is because when you clean the roof, the black will run down the sides of the RV, then you will need to wash the RV to get it clean. You don't need the sheeting just to put the coating on the roof. I put 3 coats on the roof 3 years ago [ it was totally down to the rubber after I cleaned it ]. Still looking good. Will probably put another coat on this year just because I still have a gallon left.

Well, certainly. Putting a white coating on the roof of your RV is going to cover it (the original roof) in a protective coating that is reflective & durable. The reflective component alone (especially if your roof is aging and losing its white reflective layer) is going to keep the interior cooler, as well as the rest of the roof components.

It also is advertised as being made by Rubbermaid. Mine said eldon and is clear.. The company claims Rubbermaid makes eldon. I have no way of verifying their claim, but a different manufacturer could account for the difference in products.

The company says it will. I would use some cleaner/primer that the company offers for sale, or a similar product. I wouldn't want the dry liquid roof membrane to separate from the stainless steel. I used liquid roof over a rubber membrane roof, and so far it seems to be holding up well. I cleaned the whole roof with denatured alcohol before applying the liquid roof. It dried to a hard surface, like a hard plastic. I don't have any experience applying it to steel, except what stayed in the can. The little that I couldn't scrape out before it dried too much, stayed rubbery for months, then I brought the cans to a toxic recycle pick up program in my town. The stuff is pretty nasty when it's wet. Wear gloves and cover any skin that you don't want to rubberize. It cleans up with mineral spirits, but trying to save the putty trowel and paint brush, was a waste of time for me. I did save my metal mixer that I use for paint.

I bought this product to protect the roof of my camper. I painted the roof of the camper to add protection against any leakages. It adds a "rubberized" protection. I painted it in the Fall of 2013, and then covered it with a canvas for the winter months. I am not sure it will prevent the sun's damaging effects.
