Default Replacing roof.

I was going to send you a PM. This is a great winter project. What type of roof are you going to put on? I was going to hire one of the companies that does permanent RV roofs. I was quoted $7.000. MY 26ft.Classic is only worth $6.000. I just might have to rent a heated storage unit and do the roof myself with a helper. In the mean time it doesn't leak and is filled with Externa Bond tape.

Hi Sam, I am going with the recommendation from Rob (Signman) and using Peel N Stick.

I was considering a sheet of Filon but was concerned about the radius edge and not being able to bend the Filon over the edge without compromising the integrity of the material. (Plus, laying an 8.5’ x 20’ sheet, which would be extremely heavy, onto adhesive, sounded like it could become a nightmare really quickly.)

Here is what Signman said in a different post:

This is 36" wide and comes in a really nice textured white so it will look original once you do a 3 pass install.... one down each side overhanging the edge for you to put under your trim and then the final, center pass that will overlap both side pieces about 5 to 6 inches so you have a really nice seal. This is an asphalt based seal, so when it is out in the sun, it will set up for life!

Default Peel & Seal

This is what I am using on my roof.

I found a really good price @ HomeImprovementSupply.com out of Toledo.

Yep, I put that on the 2000. I keep an eye on any seems just to make sure things are staying put. I won't say the roof has been abused by UV over the past few years, but it's doing just fine.

Also in the garage, some stuff to pull it:
1999 3/4 ton 'Burb
1993 Roadmaster wagon (well, it probably won't pull it)

Thanks for that review and endorsement r67northern! Your experience along with Signman’s experience and endorsement have helped solidify my decision for the longevity of what I am about to install.

And besides all of that, the lady on the box looks happy with her decision as well!

How many rolls are you going to use? 3 rolls for 3 continuous runs or 2 rolls and use the leftover for the 3rd run and have a overlap seam? I'm considering doing this as well.

Hi SShankstr, I debated with myself for quite awhile on that very question.

At this point I have two rolls, and will overlap the top center run.
Since I am installing flexible solar panels both in front and behind the center hole where the A/C would mount, my seam will be under one of the panel and that should give it secondary coverage. As good as this material sticks down, I am fairly confident that it will be sealed against any moisture penetration.
