our motorhome's roof.
Easily seen in the front (farthest end in photo):
The DirecTV Satellite Dish
& the Yaggi Antenna.
The middle area: Fan Covers, the
Bathroom Skylight and sewer stack vents.
The small Solar Panel will
be removed.
There are two more Solar Panels at the rear of the motorhome (closest end in photo) and two Radio antennas. The small antennas will be removed permanently.
Covers, etc. have been removed.
has been set up & is
being tested....
The setup works & the WiFi Antenna is rotating in short increments to search for WiFi hotspots.
Next....
Wrap it up!
The RV is bagged while FlexArmor
is sprayed on because there is
overspray that could stick to the
body of our motorhome, if left
exposed.

Portions have been sanded.
The new roof treatment will cover
the whole roof including the front
& rear fiberglass caps.
This is where leaks are common.

& rear fiberglass caps.
This is where leaks are common.
Everything that's attached to the roof is removed or covered.
Wires are covered in aluminum
foil & suspended from the
ceiling to keep them out of the way
while spraying.
One of the wires, with its curved
end, looks like a balloon.
The big square is the Bathroom
Fan.
Two of the tubes sticking up near
it are Stack Vents, aka Sewer Vents.
Sanding at the rear of our motorhome
shows where the FlexArmor will
extend over the fiberglass rear end
cap of our motorhome.
This is a detail thing....
The metal plate our Air Horns sit
it on has been cut & a piece has
as been removed.
The horns need to be removed &
raised to accommodate the 3/8"
thickness of the FlexArmor coating.

The Air Horns will be just as secure and there will be less metal to prep before the FlexArmor is applied.

Michael replaced our Solar Panel Combiner Box because with the 3/8 inch FlexArmor covering, the box would become too short to provide the space needed for all the wires that connect to our five Solar Panels.
Next...
Portions of the roof are primed.
Yellow tape surrounds the
motorhome.
It identifies the edge of the
FlexArmor coating.
Our Shower Skylight was scuffed up
up & primed, along with the curved
curved part of the roofline.
Other areas in need are primed
to ensure that the FlexArmor
coating will adhere well.
Eric and I had three Shower Skylight choices.
- Keep the existing 15-year-old Skylight. The existing Skylight will have to be replaced sometime in the future. Do we wait for it to crack? Will the cracked Skylight leak?
- Replace the Skylight, knowing that we will replace it again in the future.
- Cover the Skylight with FlexArmor. There is no Skylight replacement cost, no cracks, and no leaks. There will also be no natural lighting in the Bathroom. I'm OK turning on an LED Light in the Bathroom during the day.
The front of the motorhome
has been primed.
The metal plates that hold the
Air Horns are prepped & primed
for the FlexArmor coating.
Michael & the Techs take special care
to carefully define the edge of the
FlexArmor coating.
The roof lines will be clean & precise.
The rear cap of the motorhome
is primed & the edging is
carefully taped.
