What this video covers

A 35-foot fifth-wheel trailer undergoes a complete roof renovation to repair extensive water leaks using Liquid Rubber products.0:04 The process begins with a thorough cleaning of the TPO roof using a specialized RV roof cleaner, followed by a final wipe-down with acetone to ensure proper adhesion.2:06 The owner seals seams and joints with peel-and-stick seam tape, which provides a waterproof base that requires no primer.3:54 For hardware installations like air vents, the owner applies butyl tape under the fixture and finishes with a self-leveling lap sealant.6:05 The main coating process involves applying a TPO-specific primer to the roof surface, followed by multiple coats of Liquid Rubber RV roof coating.9:06 The work is performed in sections to accommodate the tacky nature of the primer and requires specific environmental conditions, specifically temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius and humidity below 80 percent.7:05 Proper masking of hatches and timely removal of painter's tape between coats are essential to prevent finish damage.12:30 The final cured membrane is UV-resistant, solar-reflective, and flexible.13:32
