Would love to see a update on how this has held up, please and thank you
That was a cool video. Nice job. That was a good idea. You could tell it was dry, now it’s sealed and looks new. Thanks. Tony
I’ve used it on our old camper and it help keep the camper cool, sealed up good around everything. We bought a new camper in 2018 and I put a coat on it the second year. Brushing gets you a thicker coat then rolling and it will dry quick in the sun, caution that the amount in the pan doesn’t sit too long. I’m a fan of this. And for anyone buying it be sure you get the Tropi-cool for RV, they make a few different kinds!
Thanks for the info!
Can I paint the entire camper with this? Like the exterior walls?
Thanks
@@luismajano9191 I’m sure it would stick but not designed for that and it would cost a good bit to cover the whole thing and I doubt you would be happy with the results.
5yrs later it's now $119 at Homedepot
Yikes! Not surprised but still…. 😳
Nice to see the kids get involved your doing a good job
I’ve used this👍🏻it’s a lot of work even on a small RV
I did two coats on my 2001 clas A 32 footer and love it. Went on great and looks great and washes easy. My one concern was that nothing sticks to it like eternally tape and decor. BUT I was informed by somebody if you clean the area first with paint thinner things will stick like they should. So Ill do a third and fourth coat this spring.
Sounds great! It’s on my to do list!
Great shirt. Daughter gave me a 'meaning of no is NO!' for fathers day.
potcrak1 ... Ha!
I used it the stuff is good stopped all the leaks I had I recommend it to anybody my RV was leaking so bad water is in the light inside that's what I knew I needed to fix I recommended tropical is good stuff
My camper began leaking in a couple places...Around the A/C unit and also the shower and front ...Got a can of Flex seal and sprayed in a couple spots..It helped, but gonna have to do the entire "ruff" like you did... Was thinking about selling it pretty cheap and lose a couple thousand or so, but 2 gallons for 125 bucks is the way to go now...32 foot Dutchmen.. Very informative.. Thanks..
Peace… Shalom… Salam... Namaste and Thank You so much for All that you are doing to Heal our Mother Earth 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ❤
we have used this and also rvroofmagic both are good but the rvroofmagic
is much easier to work with and you don't have to rush because there is
on catalyst to add. Also it has a mildewcide built into it and comes
with a 10 year warranty @t our company also does rv roof repairs
I appreciate the video.
The "ruff" looks good.
Good video because you didn't put no music in the background thank you
Yeah thanks
People mess up their videos by putting music in the background yours is great good video
👍🏼
Can I use that in my ceiling at the same time my rooftop need this Henry’s sealing can I do both and paint it ,,
Are you putting Henery over sealant around AC & vents & sides
Do you have any current words of wisdom on the RESULTS or application process of this product? Looking to get my RV Roof sealed better. How has this product changed the required roof MAINTENANCE needed? Thanks in advance for the info your video was encouraging.
Can't find the how it held up video. How did it hold up?
should have resealed everything before coating.
just to make sure nothing can leak.
When you use a roof coating like Henry (which I’ve used) it’s imperative that you clean the roof very good or else it will peel off as you go down the highway. Your kids did a good job of cleaning, but I give it a final wipe of acetone then tape off anything you don’t want it on with blue painters tape. Excellent video. You saved yourself a $5000 roof job (or at least put it off for a year or two!)
the instructions don't tell u 2 use acetone to clean anything.... follow the directions & u will b ok.
I have used Henry's multiple times myself on multiple different RVs. 1 RV that I still own and have had Henry's on for 7 years. I wished I would have cleaned and scrubbed better.... Just take your time and dont try to ger a 36" Rv w/ 3 slides all done in one day... That's what I did washed let it dry in Texas sun and coated all at once I feel it was too rushed and I didn't put enough on in some areas. I do believe that is the same issue I have only in a very small sections though so I am putting on Henry's overtop of Henry's for a 3rd and 4th coat this season but I am washing with dawn the soap Thoroughly rinsing and then right before coating I am giving a final wipe down with rubbing alcohol. I really think that is the problem in the areas that I have trouble with it just wasn't quite clean enough maybe a micro drop of oil spread out underneath to keep contact either way I should have rubbed it down with rubbing alcohol or acetone or something that will thoroughly decrease it... It doesn't say to do that just like it doesn't say before you paint your fingernails to wipe them down with acetone but Every salon does it because they know that's what causes it to bond better oils are the enemy.
Love the shirt I say that all the time lol
Chris.P. R .... 😂👍🏼
Love the video thank you
May I please have more information on how to replace the broken vent? I have the same problem and I don't know how to do it 😅
1. Peel away old caulking (probably white)
2. Vent has 1/4” hex screws (perhaps self taping) so remove those to remove vent
3. Clean area where old vent was including old caulking/ adhesive
4. Install new vent with new screws, self taping and preferably stainless steel but not necessary.
5. Caulk generously
6. Enjoy the fruits of your labor 😁
Can you use this in plywood
Over 100$ now crazy
Have you noticed any delamination between the silicone and the original roof? I love silicone. It does age well and tolerates UV better than just about anything else, but sometimes its problematic. It doesn't stick to anything, so it tends to delaminate. Also, nothing sticks to it, so if the coating fails, good luck trying to put some Eternabond or Lap over the top of it. You might as well be trying to caulk a stick of butter. However if it's working for you, great.
Nope. But then again it’s gone so...
How's it holding up with the Henry tropicool
Will this work to seal leaks on metal evaporative cooler tray?
How is it holding up?
How is the Henry's holding up?
Great video! Are you supposed to put the tropi cool over the self leveling sealant around the skylights and other vents on top? Will that create issues when you go to redo that sealant?
Not at all. You can still do repair and replacements of items that protrude from the roof top. Henry's makes the Tropi-cool makes a calling of the same material to repair such a thing. You could also just buy a can and apply a new coating in that area and use the rest to apply another coat to the roof.
Can you please do a 1-year-after review please? Thanks!

Nice. How did it turn out, hold up? I need to do some repair, this might be what I need.
I'd like to know too, how is the roof holding up today?
I ended up re doing mine with a product called crazy seal. It has three separate parts (caulk, patch, and seal). Pretty darn expensive (roughly $1,000, obviously depends on size), my trailer is 26 feet long, and I had enough to do three coats. It was 25% the cost of having another company come and do it for me.
Thank you for sharing
Me gustaría que estos vídeos fueran traducidos en español muchas gracias saludos
Yes, how about a 1vyear review
Dave Bard .... ua-cam.com/video/ObFjsjM1YQU/v-deo.html
Time stamp 4:45 in that video, just says looked great but trashed the trailer due to leaks and rot due to snow melt with heater on in the trailer over winter.
How is the tropi cool roof coating holding up so far ?
So far so good but I'll be doing a once over and a second coat this summer. It's the second coat I never got the chance to do last year.
I did the same coating as he did 15 months ago. I also have a hybrid trailer and our roof was in even worse shape where a LOT of black was showing through and the inside of the trailer was hotter than outside on a routine basis.
We cleaned the roof as he did but really scrubbed it and wiped it down quickly with acetone (which took off a lot more white from the roof), we laid down the first coat reasonably thick, let it sit for about 2 hours then laid down a second coat a bit thicker. First and foremost once applied it made a MASSIVE difference temp wise inside the trailer, at a minimum it knocked down the temp inside the trailer 20 degrees if not more. The AC is FAR more efficient now than it was previously. I'm in AZ and it used to take about 2 hours to go from 110 to 80 inside the trailer if not a bit longer, now with the coating and nothing else we do that in a bit under an hour. average temp in the summer inside the trailer is about 6-8 degrees or more cooler than the outside temp. If the temp outside is high 90's we can get down to high 70's inside the trailer in about 25-30 mins tops.
best part of the coating is that once it's applied and dried off put your hand on the roof, it's cool to the touch and likely a bit colder than the outside temps. I'm willing to bet before you did the application of it you could sear a steak on the roof. It has made such a huge difference for my trailer that a few friends of mine have done or are doing this same stuff this fall once it cools down. A friend of mine got a 2018 5th wheel with dual 15k AC's, his AC's barely kept up when the temps hit mid 90's. After a while he wanted me to help him do his trailer with the henry's stuff, we did it and his AC's now run more than half the time and it will nearly freeze them out of the trailer.
Durability wise I've inspected it often and found that there are no issues with peel up or anything else. This stuff is worth every penny!

Very nice
How is it holding up ?
You are the longest posted video i can find.
Im lookong into Henry's tropicool too
It worked fine but we had some underlying damage that made it unaffordable to repair so we turned “Charlie” into a 16’ flatbed hauler which helped in our move to Wyoming. There’s a video of the build here on my channel
@CKKnifeandTool oh wow I'll have to look it up
It's funny that the shops around town don't recommend Henry's or they know nothing about it
But on UA-cam it's getting a ton of buzz and good reviews.
Is there anything you would've done differently
I thought you couldn’t seal a rubber roof with silicone
🤷🏻♂️
CK, how many coats did you apply?
Just the one. Never got to the 2nd
Stuff is 135.00$ a gallon as of July 1st.... 23 549.99 for 5 gallon bucket
Will it turn green with moss,
In the PNW… EVERYTHING grows moss
How has Henry’s hold up since your filming?
Live Stream Wizard The Henry’s held up well but we no longer have it.
I did the same coating as he did 15 months ago. I also have a hybrid trailer and our roof was in even worse shape where a LOT of black was showing through and the inside of the trailer was hotter than outside on a routine basis.

Thanks for the information Rob. I'm sure folks will appreciate your opinion and experience. Thanks for commenting!
I agree! I did one coding two summers ago, then a second one last summer although I didn't really need to. It's awesome, I have a 1998 Bounder and in torrential rains both in Oregon and in Southeast Texas for days and days and days on end, I've had zero leaks since I applied the Henry's. I'll probably add another coat this winter when I'm doing an inspection just because.

How the roof holding up today?
Yes I would like to know also as he did not follow the directions of applying the product very well
Where can you buy this
MAXE Clan it’s in the description below. 😕 But since I’m here, check Home Depot. Amazon.com. Lowe’s.
Can this be applied to plywood ?
Radnally I don’t see why not. Definitely would need two coats though. There’s also a seam tape for camper/ RV roofs and that may be of use too.
CK Knife and Tool: I contacted the Henry company and they said that plywood was not a suitable substrate for tropicool. Maybe it's just CYA from them?
Radnally great to hear! Glad you did the research and that it’s posted here for others. Thanks!
Yep, make sure it's very dry.
Update: the cost is not $125.
Yeah… things aren’t what they used to be
Silicone won't stick to EPDM this will flake off in no time
It's a roof not a ruff!
He got that "ruff" from the dog...
50 bucks, lmao try 100 unless you bought this in 2000.
Things sure aren’t like they used to be
we have used this and also rvroofmagic both are good but the rvroofmagic
is much easier to work with and you don't have to rush because there is
on catalyst to add. Also it has a mildewcide built into it and comes
with a 10 year warranty @t our company also does rv roof repairs
Al thompson .... Sounds nice. Thanks for the info and for watching!
