Then it's not a "rubber" RV roof. The rubber is an EDPM rubber membrane, which comes only in black. Some motorhomes have fiberglass or other type of roof instead of rubber. Most Airstream trailers have aluminum roof - the same as the aluminum body covering.

Yes it is a EPDM rubber roof made by Dicor have the documentation. It is not fiberglass, wish it is fiberglass. National did switch to fiberglass in later years.

Yes, and that is what I mean by my roof is showing it's age. My roof is still mostly white there are a few spots that the white is getting thin and can see the base membrane. I do constantly fight the black mold which is a lot of work but worth it when I see the nice white roof.

I had a older motor home with the rubber roof and it was in pretty good shape but showing the years. I put a Conklin Rapid Roof coating on it in Texas and it was great reflected the sun and was supposed to last 20 years. I sold it 3 years ago and it still looked brand new.

I full-time and put over 12K miles a year so, I take a few weeks every summer to repost. May seem excessive but, your roof keeps everything else dry.
