I had the same Flex Armor roof installed at the RVROOFDFW Denton, TX facility in July 2021. I am very pleased with it. Mark Lamb and his crew have an outstanding work ethic and did a fantastic job on my motorhome. I told him if I ever purchase a brand-new rig, I will immediately have the Flex Armor roof put on as preventative maintenance, as it's not a matter of IF you roof is going to leak, it's a matter of WHEN. Water damage may not be detected until thousands of dollars of damage is done. It's at that time you wish your rig would have had the Flex Armor roof! I sleep comfortably in the rain knowing the water will not be coming in! No more caulking needed on my roof! Note: The Flex Armor lifetime warranty is transferable. You receive paperwork to transfer the warranty to the new owner should you sell your RV.
We had FlexArmor sprayed on our 5th wheel. We had them cover our sky light in the bathroom. It made the bathroom darker, but it's not a problem turning the light on, and we don't have to worry about replacing the skylight in the future. LOVE FlexArmor!!! Well worth the money, especially with the lifetime, transferable guarantee.
When I replace my roof, needs to be done soon, I was wanting to eliminate the skylight and install a light in its place due to the fact the skylights do not last.
Thanks for the video. Im looking at buying and older American Tradition class A that already had this installed. The current owner did a live video with me and while on the roof talking about how great the roof is, jumped up and down on the roof to show how tough it was. This looks like a great product and new RVs are built fast, not well. The roof is always a liability. The damage that a leak that went unnoticed for weeks or months could be catastrophic. Definitely adds value to a rig when it comes time to sell.
you need a new roof, run don't walk to have this stuff on your roof. you can barely pierce it with a screw driver, it lowered the temp inside, weight is not a problem. we had our done in green cove spring fl. think about all the flexing your roof goes thru going down the road, this stuff is tuff. sun doesn't seem to mess with it like other roofs. they go down on the roof side seams, so much protection. very happy.
I feel your pain! Rebuilt the rear wall of a class C and the bunk over cab. Found water in the bunk again! Turned out the rubber boot where the antenna cable came thru the roof was the culprit!
Great video T. Glad you caught it on time. Your roof looks amazing. You just reminded me to get my roof looked at. Greensboro? Only two hours away. Will check it out. Thanks.
How do you add solar panels or replace a hail damaged skylight? Do you have to take it back to them? What if you want to screw in a few solar panel mounts? Do they give you the glue to seal over the screws?
Could we use pressure treated on the roof? I feel your pain I just spent so much time preparing our new used campers roof to apply this industrial coating and now I have bubbles and the coating is still tacky. Even though it has been a couple weeks, every bug and every seed from every tree has landed on it. No, I'm trying to figure out if I need to pop those bubbles and reseal them. Very frustrating
I'm curious about the application. Is it better to apply it directly to the wood? I would think that applying it to the membrane would be much weaker since there could be adhesion issues with the original material.
We need a new roof on our GD 2022 MLE22. GD should be covering but they are not. We are looking at either traditional rubber roof replacement or the FlexArmor which would cost about 2500 more. We want to know how you like the product now that you have lived with it. Thank you
wow just got my rv for a great price i have to get the roof redone. i hope i can afford it lol. gonna see if i get a quote. but Definity want to get this done. gonna remodel the inside
So we just got the rig weighed almost the same weight as prior to the new roof, if anything I would say under 50 lbs. thank you so much for that question.
Great question! Anything they sealed up, Eric told me we would have to come in and have them do it so they can make sure it is sealed up again. Example, skylight. If damaged again they would have to do so the warranty still remains honored. Also they said anything you want to add to your roof to check with RV Roof. Thank you so much for watching.
It seems that this is a good product but it is very expensive, if you are selling your rig in a few years it will not be worth it since you can not get your money back or return. If you are keeping your rig 10 years or more, it may be worth it. You may get some peace of mind using this but at a great cost. I wish they could adjust their costs, more folks may be inclined to invest in this process, if it indeed lasts. They would make money on the volume.
Thank you for your feedback. We may not be aware of all business practices, but our pricing is based on the cost of materials and labor. Considering that most dealerships charge upwards of $10,000 for a rubber roof, which typically involves around $600 of rubber and approximately $100 of glue, we believe our prices are quite reasonable. We invest more in materials and labor, and our work is not performed by general laborers at $15 an hour in an RV park. Our prices align with those of a standard roof, yet we provide superior quality and a lifetime warranty-benefits not offered with standard roofing. At our corporate headquarters, the price for a 40 ft RV roof is $8000. Additionally, our transferable warranty has proven beneficial for many of our previous customers during resale or trade-in.
I would say a little, but it is definitely more durable, That's because of the thin wood the manufacture installed, We went to a NASCAR race last weekend and had 8 people up on the roof and it was solid no problems Thanks for watching
So, eventually skylights get all faded etc. What happens if down the road you want to replace your skylight? I've already replaced mine after it cracked, i put a much stronger one in. But i expect over the years it will need replaced again. How does that work with this roof?
You would need to bring to the place to professional remove and reinstall. This is why you should replace when getting the roof done this way it lasts years.
So basically a lineX or Raptor Liner product? Maybe a little more flexible. I'm thinking about doing this for the seams and roof on my cargo conversion. Thanks for the video
You are able to to anything with the AC. But it's the sky lights and vents you need to bring back to them for because they are encapsulated. Thank you so much for watching.
I like the warrantee. Does this product have the strength and hardness of pick up bed liner (like the Rhino or the Linex)?? Otherwise what keeps tree branches from can opening this product?? I have had roof issues on towable travel trailers I owned in the past. I am considering this for a BRAND NEW Camper I am buying.
Thank you for your comment. This material is actually tougher than bedliner. RVs have different needs than a bedliner, which has little movement and different needs. We decided FlexArmor to withstand things such as tree branches but have the flexibility needed for a vehicle that does flex. We have some videos on our UA-cam page showing the toughness.
This stuff looks awesome, but at $170 per linear foot, it would cost us over $5k to have this installed on the roof of our mid-sized fifth wheel. Too pricey for me.
Yet that will probably still be cheaper than a factory/dealer installed replacement. I had mine done with flexarmor and never looked back. Repair/replacement of the roof estimates with factory/oem materials 1.5 times as expensive and simply repairing the damaged area came in at just over have the price of the flexarmor with a 3-7 year expected lifespan. A no brainer if you plan on keeping your trailer and use it a lot. Do it right, buy once, cry once.
@@scottlewis5755 Yes, Flex Armor is probably half the cost of a roof replacement, but how many people NEED a roof replacement, barring something like a tree falling on the roof, something that Flex Armor won't help with? They're actually pretty rare in the RV community. Most minor roof damage can be repaired fairly easily with a combination of something like Eternabond and Dicor to seal the edges. There are videos of folks who have such repairs done years before without any subsequent issue. I've seen many people who RV full-time, and I've never heard one comment before regarding Flex Armor.

Wow. Very nice. It’s to bad we sometimes find out to late and cause more damage. Great video. We love the channel. Keep it up.
Great video T. Glad you caught it on time. Your roof looks amazing. You just reminded me to get my roof looked at. Greensboro? Only two hours away. Will check it out. Thanks.
How do you add solar panels or replace a hail damaged skylight? Do you have to take it back to them? What if you want to screw in a few solar panel mounts? Do they give you the glue to seal over the screws?
Might think of using Marine grade plywood!!! Strand board is like a sponge when near water!!!
The noise in the backround 😂😂😂 wow
This looks 👍🏻
Could we use pressure treated on the roof?
I feel your pain

wow just got my rv for a great price i have to get the roof redone. i hope i can afford it lol. gonna see if i get a quote. but Definity want to get this done. gonna remodel the inside
how much weight does it add to the RV? Seems like these permanent roofs are the way to go right off the start to avoid future problems.
Great question! We are going to get it weighed on our next trip. Thanks for watching.
Curious if you ever found out the weight?
So we just got the rig weighed almost the same weight as prior to the new roof, if anything I would say under 50 lbs. thank you so much for that question.
@@TSquadRVing thanks for the update!
I heard it was 180 to 200 lbs for a 30 ft roof
I wonder what happens when you have to replace one of those components that they've sealed in.
Great question! Anything they sealed up, Eric told me we would have to come in and have them do it so they can make sure it is sealed up again. Example, skylight. If damaged again they would have to do so the warranty still remains honored.
Also they said anything you want to add to your roof to check with RV Roof.
Thank you so much for watching.
@@TSquadRVing Any idea of the cost to have them replace something like a skylight?
looks bullet proof just wonder about when you have to replace vents or skylights???? Also did i miss how much this cost????

Wow, does it make the roof more rigid while walking on? Mine you can tell when you step on a panel between supports.
I would say a little, but it is definitely more durable, That's because of the thin wood the manufacture installed, We went to a NASCAR race last weekend and had 8 people up on the roof and it was solid no problems

Only concern I have is when something needs replaced say air conditioner looks good though
You are able to to anything with the AC. But it's the sky lights and vents you need to bring back to them for because they are encapsulated. Thank you so much for watching.
It's so thick it seems like it may increase the strength of the roof? It's that right?
It does. Really protects the roof.
Why are most tv's with roof issues Reflections like ours.
Grand Design needs to do better. My next RV won't be GD
I hear and feel your frustration.
Are there multiple locations I can have this installed or only one state?
Yes. I would contact RV Roof of Greensboro to see what is the closest. Say hello for us.
What happens when you have to replace vents and hatches
You have to bring it in. But AC you can do without bringing in. Thanks so much for watching.
What do you do for destination trailers. I do not have a leak but if I wanted this system installed how would you get to Northern Ohio?
Id have this done but they dont have any locations near southern california

Use isalation instead of The Pink panther
A little too much drama for me. But the first video with the actual repair was informative.
2020. . . . CovidCapmers. . . .
What was the total price for your roof out the door?
We're it's so thick if you need to replace like the skylight or a n y of the components that are sealed in how do you get to it?
My question exactly; what if it isn’t exactly compatible with the existing base which is sealed now?
Any idea how much weight it added to the roof ? I know an rv is already top heavy, just curious if it pulls or drives different with the new roof?
It adds around 150 pounds on a 40 ft roof. We have never had reports of it effecting how the unit pulls.
First
Where can you buy the spray to do yourself ?.
No !
Crazy Seal sells a roll on 1 or 2 coat system

The leaks did go into the camper.
Yes. It did but not enough to damage anything. Just replaced the lights on the ceiling. That’s it.
Thanks for watching.
Do they cover slide outs as well
Yes.
Rv roofs leak befor they are put on
Just stop the ridiculous music.
I hear ya. I am going to start eliminating music from My videos. I can see how it can be annoying.
So annoying. Why play music over you talking? Gezz
I love music. Thank for watching.
