Most reccomend a product called Dicor.I used the self leveling stuff.I inspected mine every 6 months or so and if it looked like is shrunk or pulled loose I just cleaned it good with a rubber roof cleaner and spread it on.Remove any loose areas of caulk first.

Keep it clean with products made specifically for EPDM(rubber) roofs.Nothing with petroleum products.Check all seems and areas that are sealed to make sure it hasn't been compromised.

thanks racerguy! what about the seams, if there are cracks, how do you maintain them? something in a caulk tube or some product to brush on? my 5th wheeler is only 1 year old but i like to keep things as new as possible

Working on that...a little slower process than we planned.

Hello All,
I don't mean to hijack the thread but it falls under roof maintenance so I hope you will excuse. I have my "new to us" fiver currently parked full time at a campground and as I was preparing to winterize I was up on the roof to clean leaves and debris and somewhat supprised to see the amount of dirt and moss on thye roof. What would be the preferred method of cleaning? Are there special cleaners that are reccommended?
Thanks for all the help
Mike

There are special cleaners available at any RV store.Also Spic and Span works well.As I stated above just be sure to not use anything that has petroleum products in it.
