How Often You Should Maintain Your RV Roof

• Visual inspection — once every 6 months. Check the seams, sealant, roof components, and look for any damage. Also perform an inspection before every long trip and after heavy rain, hail, or snowfall.
• Roof washing and cleaning — at least once a year, and more often with frequent use or if the RV is stored under trees.

General Recommendations

• Do not place sharp or heavy objects on the roof. This can damage the membrane and cause leaks.
• Avoid unnecessary walking on the roof. If you must go up, do so carefully and in soft-soled shoes.
• Regularly clear the roof of leaves, branches, and debris. Accumulated debris can trap water and cause damage.
• Keep gutters and drain channels clean. Clogs can block proper water flow and lead to standing water or leaks.

Washing & Cleaning

• Do not use harsh chemicals, petroleum-based products, or abrasive tools. They can destroy the protective layer and shorten the roof’s lifespan.
• Use a soft brush or sponge with water and mild soap.
• Avoid using high-pressure washers too close to the surface. Strong water jets may damage the coating and seals.

Additional Tips

• Do not install homemade structures or equipment without proper mounting.
