We have a 2002 Class A MH with fiberglass roof. Roof is beginning to feel chalky and we notice white streaks down sides with heavy dew and rain. Is there a sealant or coating that we need to use?
Thank you, Brenda

You should talk with your manufacturer about this. We have a fiberglass roof on our 2006 Elite Suite and have not had a problem.....maybe another on here can help. Seems as though there should be some product to nutralize the problem after a cleaning. southwestjudy

On our 2007 Elite Suite it went like that before it started cracking. The trailer manufacturer had the fiberglass supplier fill the cracks, sand them smooth and re coat them. (not sure what the recoating involved but a guy was up on the roof polishing with a bunch of different things) In any event the cracks have returned but not the white residue. I think a call to your RV manufacturer might get you directed to the roof supplier who could get you answers.

I know that American Coach, a Fleetwood comapny, uses a product called:
PLAS-T-COTE Elastomeric Roof Coating made by: ELIXIR
For specific information call - 800-443-5473
or write: Elixir Industries 640 Collins road Elkhart, IN 46516
This product will oxidize over time, leading to white streaks and have to be applied but our coach is an 05 model made in 04 and we have seen no cracks. We will be repplying the roof coating this summer.
That said, I would still contact your manufacturer for specific roof coating information before applying anything to your roof.
