APR RV FlexArmor Application: Part 2, Show & Tell





Michael takes Eric & me
to a work bay work bay
that has a motorhome
covered in plastic.














Its roof has been sanded & is
being prepped for FlexArmor
application.










The top of the ladder is
covered with Aluminum
Foil.

Orange tape is attached
to each ladder handle.





Wide yellow tape shows the rear edge of the FlexArmor application.





 A vent & the air conditioner
were removed.

The holes left behind are
carefully covered.










This motorhome's roof doesn't look like ours.  It has a roof air conditioner.  We have a basement air conditioner.  Its vents are not in the same place as ours.  This RV doesn't have a skylight above the shower like ours.  I ask Michael if each FlexArmor roof job is custom.  

He emphatically agrees.  Michael and the techs work on different length RVs with differently configured roof attachments.  Additionally, replacement of sections of wood beneath the roof may be needed if there have been previous roof leaks.





Another vent is covered.

The top of the King WiFi
Antenna base is carefully
covered too.





The front edge of the roof
has been taped off to show
the front edge of the
FlexArmor application.

The bases of the Air Horns
are covered in Aluminum
Foil.










The left edge of the orange
tape has a thin piece of
wire embedded in it.  

The tape is carefully pulled
on after the FlexArmor
has dried to uncover the
over-sprayed roof 
attachments.





This small detail helps APR RV techs clean up the roof attachments before replacing Air Horns, Roof Vent Covers, Air Conditioners, etc...




This is the control board for
the FlexArmor application,
which is applied at under
pressure, at a specific
  temperature.









The contents of the drums
are emptied, in turn, as 
FlexArmor is applied.











Eric and I thank Michael for the tour.  We want to see and understand the FlexArmor roof treatment.  The new maintenance free roof ensures that our 15-year-old motorhome will be free of roof leaks, mold, and unsightly interior ceiling stains.  Besides peace of mind, Eric and I will avoid the costly repairs that would follow a roof leak.

APR RV is storing our perishable and frozen foods for us while the motorhome is in the shop.  We put our luggage in our Jeep and drive west to Windemere Hotel and Convention Center.
