If by chance you are close to Anthony Texas, Camping World there does warranty work for Redwood, had work work done there in the past great bunch of people, and there is a camp ground right around the corner if needed,

Thanks, at this point Keystone/Redwood has denied my claim. We are still working on it and I will post any new results. I am working with Luxury RV in Mesa and I have confidence that as hard as Shane is trying to help, they will do a good job
for me.

Sorry it took so long to update, I was informed quite rudely,I might add when I objected, by a "service representative", that my problem is exactly that, my problem alone. " There will be no further discussion on this subject according to her. Pretty unimpressed by "customer service" at this point.

If you end up having to fix it out of pocket check how much it will cost and then look into rv armor roofs. They will come to you and install a lifetime guaranteed roof. A few on here have had theirs done and swear buy them

Thank you Woody, I have been researching Flex Armor and have been impressed with the results and reviews. I will also look at rv armorl (could be the same product)I already know the price of a new roof of this type will be in the ballpark moneywise. I will keep an eye on the progress, or is it regress?? and will make a decision when it becomes necessary to act.

RV Armour & Flex Armour are different companies & different products.

Flex Armour is a spray on high-build polyurea coating. RV Armour is a multiple coat roll on polymer coating.

Personally I think the Flex Armor is a little better, more controlled process than the RV Armor process, that being said we have the RV Armor Roof and are very happy with the Roof and the customer service.
We used RV Armor due to the fact our Roof membrane blew off in Texas and they came to our site in Texas and repaired and installed the RV Armor Roof, we would have had to travel to a Flex Armor Location for their roof which at the time was not a option.

Rob - Based on my research on these 2 products and experience with coatings technology (marine industry), the 2 primary reasons for failure is lack of preparation & environmental conditions during application.

RV Armour is convenient, as they come to your location, but it is impossible to control the temperature, relative humidity, dew point, precipitation. Based on the information on the website, Flex Armour does more thorough preparation, including substrate repairs. RV Armour indicate they apply over any substrate.

However, both have impressive warranties

If we were replacing the roof after a failure, it would be RV Armour, but if it was a planned upgrade, while more research is required on the coating technology, I am leaning towards Flex Armour.
