Procedures, Supplies and Equipment to Repair an RV Roof or Rubber Roof.

Welcome to BestMaterials.com RV Roof Repair information and resource guide. We are constantly adding new resources for you to use in repair of RV roofs and roofs built with EPDM rubber or metal and others. These solutions also apply to commercial buildings, trailers, patios, and many house boat repairs. We welcome your RV ideas and solutions too. For coating your RV rubber roof with a premium bright-white light traffic capable roof coating, we recommend RoofMate HT, it is low-cost and easy to use. We also offer complete or partial replacement EPDM Rubber Roofs.

For RV or trailer roofs and seam repairs, we recommend EternaBond. EternaBond's RoofSeal White is specially packaged for us with a White Ultra-UV resistant surface and wound in economical 50' rolls (rather than 37'). RoofSeal White can be used over all types of roofs including EPDM. UV resistance of RoofSeal White is estimated at 18 to 35 years (tested by EternaBond). RoofSeal is also available in Gray and Black. All finishes are compatible with RoofMate and AES roof coatings.

For aluminum trailer and home seam repairs, we recommend A-Seal . It is an aluminum faced version of RoofSeal.

For recoating a RV EPDM / rubber roof or metal trailer roof, we offer several good choices. For a light-traffic roof, we recommend Roofmate HT (high tensile). It cures harder to take light foot traffic. EPDM Primer is recommended with any EPDM coating.

For a complete or partial replacement of the EPDM roofing materials, see EPDM Rubber Roofing Materials.

Each job is different, but generally you just need to have some simple tools.

6 inch Putty Knife, Heavy Duty Polished Steel Putty Knife.

The roller is the most important tool. It is critical to "roll-in" and flow the EternaBond adhesive.

Surfaces must be immaculately clean before applying any type of bonding agent. When preparing a surface for EPDM clean your surface use surface a 3M Scotch Bright Pad (Very Fine) for the job.
