Has anyone used Snow Roof on a trailer roof? Like it?
I am also thinking of using their elastomeric sealant + their seam tape over the seams to seal those suckers up once and for all. Anyone tried it?
My trailer roof has old black mobile home coating on part of it, I climbed up there and started prepping it with the sander. Also used the sander with a coarse grit pad to knock the rust loose and was very pleasantly suprised at how nicely it went. I had dreaded starting the work - the roof looked so big. But it's going so well... Yay!
If I can finish sanding, grinding the seams clean, removing the trim, and get it degreased it will be ready to tape up and roll the coating on as early as TOMORROW (weather permitting)! Yeah, Baby!!
Ok, quick update. I removed all caulking as snowroof will not go over silicone, sanded down the black coating, sanded off the loose rust, cleaned, hit it with a rust converter (Picklex-20). Then put down one coat of Elasto-Seal (rubber roof primer). It didn't stick terribly well when it was wet. The second coat went on much better, and as it was applied I put their Seam Tape over the seams, and coated the nylon tape with a topcoat of Elasto-Seal. I just did the portion of roof over the LQ. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, that will be a good test. It looks well sealed. We'll see about that.
The Snow-Coat (UV resistant top coat) will go on next, it needs 3 top coats for the maximum protection.
Also I got the interior floor sanded and primed (enamel primer), my sweetie cut the linoleum to size. It is ready to install when the primer is dry.

I was just browsing an RV catalogue and came across similar products.
I don't need it for leaks, but was thinking an elastomeric roof coating might provide a bit more protection against solar gain and perhaps dampen drumming.
Not that I'm looking for another project - not a 320 sq ft one, or a ~150 sq ft one for that matter. Just thinking about reflecting sun light and reducing drumming.
Then there's the pre-project of figuring a safe way to crawl around on trailer roofs... hmmm, build a cat walk of some kind ?
So, I did a search and landed here. Last update was about 4 months ago, so should I assume it is still holding ?
