Rv roof do you have to step before sealing.

Step 1 is always prep the area. Coating an rv roof is different than sealing it. The very first step is to clean the roof. You then adhere the new roof membrane to your rv roof before sealing the edges replacing the items from the roof and sealing the seams around the roof vents and antennas.

You then need to remove the existing roof membrane and replace any plywood underneath the old roof membrane that has been damaged. If the shell of your rv roof remains intact you can still salvage it. Apply cleaner activator to roof using pump sprayer. Mask walls and caps with good quality tape such as frog tape and sweep all loose material off roof.

When you are applying the sealant on the seams of your rv once a year a good practice would be covering the roof of your rv with coating. Let coating completely dry. Rinse to remove all cleaner activator and let the roof completely dry. If you own an rv with a rubber roof epdm or tpo you will inevitably face a time when you need to re coat it.

No matter how bad it looks. Do not worry it is not the end of the world for you. In the next. You may also need to remove the roof sealant and replace it with a different one.
