The most neglected part of an RV is its roof.I guess we don't think about it often because we cant see it.When you need to get up on top to check it, it is a good idea to use a couple of 2x4's to help distribute your weight.
There are several kinds of roof coatings. There is rubber coating and vinyl and it is up to you to choose which one you prefer. I cant say one is better than the other but I prefer rubber myself. Each manufacturer has different ideas on how to clean it. This is the first step after inspecting it. If a manual came with your RV it is a good idea to find out how to clean it to prevent damage and to see what they recommend.
You should inspect and clean your roof at least 2 times a year.Never ever use any product that has petroleum it in or use any harsh abrasives or any thing that has citrus in it. This may cause damage to your roof.
Use mild non citrus soap and a gentle RV brush to scrub the top with and rinse it well. Then use your choose of roofing letting it thoroughly dry before applying sealant. be sure to inspect all sealants around openings on roof and all seams.
