Rhino Lining Roof Coating

[Trouble Free]

Does anyone have any experience (Good or Bad) on using Rhino Lining to cover your Class A roof? I have seen an advert in Yuma, Az that advertises using Rhino lining for roof coating.

I do not. I did use Bus Kote to recover my roof myself. Pretty simple. Put three coats on. Very happy with the support and results.

A friend had his M/H and trailer done years ago and was very happy. Not cheap but good guarantee. Make sure you check on that. Travato John

I would have never thought of doing this. If you do, let me know how it goes. Now I'm curious.

How long ago did you apply this material. I will be redoing my roof next year and looking at threads like this to get ideas.

Time out: What kind of roof do have and why are you doing it?

It helps us help you if you put what kind of rig you have and the year at the bottom of the post.

My vintage and previous vintage HR has a painted Aluminium roof. It does need to be painted.

MIL had a old shed with a tin roof with pin hole leaks in a state with the highest annual rain fall. Used this to stop the leaks: https://www.lowes.com/pd/BLACK-JACK-...rranty/1015511

Worked great at stopping leaks.

Used the left over an old TT with tin roof that showed signs of aging but was not leaking yet.

I have a 40+ year old sailboat. Used marine non-skid paint on deck because the fiberglass was developing small cracks. Beautiful.

I tested some left over on the MH roof but has been less than 6 months.

I have seen bedliner paint on old PU. I do not think it would be a good idea on a MH roof.

I have a theory about painting. Sometimes it is needed to protect wood.

If it detracts from drinking beer, ignore it.

Four months ago.

I have a 2006 Monaco La Palma diesel pusher which has a fiber glass roof. The main and only reason I am looking at doing this is to prevent any problems with leaks from the roof. I will either do the Rhino Lining or a rubber roof but one of those will happen in the next 12 months.

Try looking at RV FLEX ARMOR. It's a sprayed on application and extremely tough. My 2 ac's have never been so quiet.

There corporate office is in Green Cove Springs Florida. It carries a lifetime warranty against the Vin so it's transferable.

Think about Eternabond tape. I have fiberglass roof, caps and side tops and I spent a week removing all the installed Dicor, filling all the gaps with silicone caulk (Boat life) and then using 4" tape to seal the 100' of joints to include around shower domes, refrig vents, Fantastic Fan vents, etc. This stuff is forever and so is your fiberglass roof.
If you can't do the work, hire it out to someone in the CG you're staying at.

Just a side thought rhino lining is heavy. Will it mess with anything having the additional weight load on the roof?

I am a huge proponent of Eternabond roof tape. I had it on the roof of my last RV for over 3 years and it showed zero signs of deterioration. I don’t know how long it’ll ultimately last, but I think 10+ years is a safe bet. At about $100 shipped for a 50’x6” roll it is very reasonably priced as well.

I will say, however, that I think this process could be very good for a roof that had damage and/or needed to be redone. For a brand new roof, Eternabond and a watchful eye is likely sufficient.

I seriously doubt the weight makes any difference. If you’re worried though you can weigh a gallon of elastomeric paint (what many shops will use to fix a leaky roof) vs. a gallon of this product.

I rhino lined a vehicle years ago and had the same concern. The Tech pulled out a gallon of automotive paint for me to compare. Difference was negligible. Also provided instant and permanent rust protection (which for my application on an older 4x4 was a major plus).

I had the old black glue and foil version over a few fire ax holes in my old TT alum. roof for like 20 plus years." Norcold fire front elect. panel after recall repair was done" Fireman was going to let smoke out of attic lol. Material was just showing signs of deterioration.
