Question on roof maintenance

Have a one year old Fleetwood Terra 34B that we store outside. My question is regarding the rubber roof maintenance. I do a roof inspection about twice a year to make sure none of the sealant around the openings has come loose and clean the roof at the same time but have heard conflicting information on how often you need to "Reseal" the roof. Some have told me once a year at a cost of about $350 and other have said these new roof are good for 4-5 years before they need to be stripped and resealed. Any advice

Two very informative and non opinionated links: One is from the manufacturer....

Not sure about the Terra, but FW uses a TPO roof in recent years and not rubber. The maint. is different. I have always checked for cracks in the chalking and would address them if I found any and thus far have not found any. The cleaning of the TPO roof requires a mild cleaning with products such as Murphys oil soap.
