Do you really need to cover RV with plastic sheeting?

The reason they tell you to cover the RV with plastic sheeting is because when you clean the roof, the black will run down the sides of the RV, then you will need to wash the RV to get it clean. You don't need the sheeting just to put the coating on the roof. I put 3 coats on the roof 3 years ago [ it was totally down to the rubber after I cleaned it ]. Still looking good. Will probably put another coat on this year just because I still have a gallon left.

I live in an area where it is 100 degrees in the summer and lots if rain and snow in the winter! The sun is really hard on the exterior and i try to keep the water out as much as possible with a good cover!

Installation of the plastic sheeting (I used 2 mil) is a pain particularly with respect to wind (even minor winds can undo parts of the plastic sheet installation). However, during the water washing to remove the Cleaner/Activator, a minor under-lap of the sheeting allowed the wash water to result in a minor stain on the RV fiberglass siding. I was able to clean the stain with some elbow grease and Acetone. However, I would NOT have enjoyed having to clean the whole rig. Alex

I would not try it without covering the RV with plastic. I did and am glad I did so. You can accidently have spills and spatters and would be sick if it were down the side of your RV. plastic is so reasonable at Walmart and to pieces went around my RV and then some. The little bit of extra "insurance" is well worth it.

I don't think you can be sure all the plastic covers will be there. I was lucky that the one that fell off mine was in the packaging. I guess it's the chance you'll have to take.

We used a standard paint roller when resealing our rv roof. It spreads out on its own, so no need to worry about the small bumps from the roller. As stated in the description, it adheres to metal.

No, you need Wagner power roller covers because they are perforated so the paint flows from the inside out.

Not for that its thick, there is an rv awning tape thats clear and has a better chance of working, Most RV stores carry it!

It doesn't come with a cover, nor do I think it really needs one due to the plastic material it is made out of. However, if you wanted to cover it you should be able to use some type of grill cover or something similar or even just a tarp.

This is a must have if you own a rv .paper can can get stuck in slide valve.you have to removeIt to repair it .this will do the job until you can get to repair.

I wouldn't use it to cover that, since rust will spread. It's to cover parts so they don't get heated up.

I used foam insulation. I went up a size in the insulation to compensate for the heating cable. It works fine, no problems after one year. Couldn't say about the plastic lines.

I attached it to my home. Can not comment on a RV. It is not easy to put up or take down. If you have contractor or handy man experience you might be comfortable otherwise it's a hugh task. I elected to keep mine up over the winter. The panels held up well but the roof was a different story. The cover needs to be more durable.. It will definitely have to be replace, but not doing it to soon the cost of replacement is ridiculous.

I have not used it on an RV. I use it on boats, but the same with the graphics. It is very abrasive so I go very lightly over the graphics. I would be careful not to go too hard on the clearcoat as well.

No, as mentioned already, this is just trim that covers the screws on flat insert trim, gutter rail, roof edge, etc. The gray gooey stuff that the factory uses to seal windows and doors on rv's is called butyl tape.

The cover is more like a conformal coating style sealant that's applied to the strip. It's a challenge to remove, but can be done.

Nope, you don't have to as its plastic covered. We chose to because it can be cool to touch, and I liked the decorative options of covers, but you can definitely just use it as is.

I've not had an issue with this yet but it is made from a material that is similar to the fabric used on RV roll out awnings. I would stop at an RV store and purchase a bottle of awning cleaner and try that. Alternatively, mix 1/8 cup of bleach and a good squirt of liquid dish soap with 5 gallons of water. Apply liberally to the cover and let sit for a few minutes but do not let the cover dry. Hose off well (you can lightly scrub using a brush if needed). Hope this helps...
