Gel coat is basically just a clear, smooth finish on top of the fiberglass. It needs wax, especially on the roof! If you neglect it, it will oxidize and break down. That is the white stuff you'll see on the side of the camper after it rains. Rubber roofs will do this too.
Makes a mess!
Wash it very well and then apply some wax. I use Meguiar's #50 RV/Marine cleaner wax for regular maintenance, but if it's already in bad shape you may want to research online for some restoration products.
