HAS ANYONE USED THE RUBBER ROOF ON THERE TEARDROP AND HOW DID IT WORK OUT

[jss06]

I used liquid roof on mine. So far it is holding up great. It only been a year though.

I've used the sheet good EPDM rubber roof on several of my builds. And know others who have used it with great success.

However...the RV roofing (20 mill) is real junk.

I use the commercial grade EPDM 40-60 mill thick. The stuff is like an Elephant Hide.

It goes on the same way and its available anywhere "Locally" through any GOOD Roofing Supplier. (Not a place like Home Depot or Lowes)

I get mine is through a contractor who was recommended by the supply house. They usually throws away pieces that are just right for us.

What does it cost? About 4 coffees and a box of Donuts.

Happy Trails

Ok how do you install the rubber roofing? I have seen it on e-bay, but I wouldnt know how to use it. Btw I wouldnt trust the e-bay stuff to be 40 to 60 mil.

I've been sealing the plywood and roof skin with a "green" adhesive sold in most hardware store (Titebond TB GREENCHOICE Fast Grab Frp Adhesive) before I paint the wood. I apply the adhesive with a trowel and let it cure (dry) before I paint. It's a water base adhesive with no odor after it dries. I still cover my tiny trailers with aluminum but I want the wood under to be sealed. I also use the adhesive on all edges of plywood then I paint either with an "OOPS" paint (Odd color paint sold cheap) or with the color paint I want to show. I have used Marine Varnish before but after time it needs to be resealed. This adhesive is very sticky and flexible and is hard to remove off any surface so the thin layer of adhesive along with paint lasts a very long time.
Just a thought

Several guys in our group have used rubber roofing with great success. But that was on taller standy type trailers where the roof was not visible. I have not seen it on a teardrop yet. For my 3rd build I used marine vinyl that was UV protected. Still looks great today. It has to be applied with contact cement so you need lots of hands to lay it down. Kind of looks like a vinyl roof on a car.
