I have a 07 KZ Frontier 2405. I'm trying to figure out if i have a epdm roof or alpha ply. What is the best way to seal it. Is it with dicor or super flex or use eternabond tape.

My roof is in good shape should I coat the whole roof or just the spots around the vents where the sealant is cracked .I really like this camper want to do everything i can to keep it in good shape.

Try to remove any dry, cracked caulking with a plastic scraper, nothing real sharp. Warming with a hair dryer will help. If you have difficulty, and the remaining caulk is in good condition, stop and clean with mineral spirits. Apply new self-leveling caulk over top. There is a two part system for TPO roofs if that is what you have. I would not coat the entire roof unless it has deteriorated.
The Dicor website should have given you all the information that you need.

You can also find out how to determine the type of roofing material. You are wise to closely inspect every inch and stay ahead of any water intrusion. If enough water gets into a hidden area, the trailer will be destroyed in short order. If you have the vinyl inserts that cover screws on edging, consider pulling it, inspect screws for tightness and rust, and then install new vinyl. Rusted screws are a symptom of leaks. You had mentioned Eterabond tape, it is a useful product but I wouldn't use it unless original methods won't work. Getting tape to conform to all those irregular shapes is asking a lot. |

In 07 KZ used Alpha TPO roofing. Be sure to use the proper sealant as the ones for EPDM can damage TPO. There was also an issue with the TPO in that year. KZ and Jayco both had water wicking issues causing the underlayment to rot. KZ replaced my Durango roof because of this problem and marketings demand to caulk the bottom of the gutters to make it look better...per the service manger
