Sealing your roof - ideas?

[Blaze]

Ok, guys. I've searched the old posts and found a couple different ideas, but from your experience, what has worked best to seal up your roof? We have an old camper that leaks like a sieve (well, maybe not that bad) and needs to be sealed up before she gets too cold out. I'm not real excited about the rubber sheet deal since it has a crank up roof vent that would be a pain to seal around, and I'm thinking about using a do-it-yourself bedliner kit for trucks as an option. Has anyone done this on their fishhouse roof? If so, how well has it worked?

Blaze I used this sealer that menards sell's,it is call alum roof sealer, it is what we seal our camper with & I used this on my fish house & it has worked just fine, it is plenty thick & you can apply it with a wallpaper brush, it looks brown when applyed but turns silver. I believe it's around 8-9$ a gallon. good luck!

How long does it last?

Thanks, CF. Does it come in other colors besides silver? Sounds like a reasonably priced option.

Still wondering about the bedliner stuff - anyone tried that? Probably no advantage over the roof sealer CF is talking about, but my curiosity is getting the best of me.

eyemaster-- we usually do our camper every other year, we haven't had any problems yet --knock on wood!!!

I lived in an older mobile home for a while and I used the "Aluminum Roof Coating". I did, like stated earlier ever 2 years. But I had a spot where a patio roof was attatched to the house that never wanted to seal very well. It always cracked. So I took some fiberglass window screen, put a coat of the coating down, then layed the screen overthat, then put a thick layer of the coating on top. Never have a problem after, no cracks or leaks. The fiberglass screen helped with the expansion and contraction of the seasons.
