The roof is the most neglected and most expensive part of an RV to replace.
How do you clean an RV roof?
Clean an RV roof with a roof-specific cleaner matched to the material (EPDM rubber, TPO or fiberglass), a soft brush and plenty of rinse water, working in small sections. Avoid petroleum-based and citrus solvents on rubber roofs. Inspect seams afterward and apply a UV protectant.
