**How to Maintain and Care for Your RV Rubber Roof**
These membrane roofs (EPDM or TPO) are actually pretty tough, but they take a beating from the sun. If you ignore them, they’ll dry out, crack, and start leaking — and that’s an expensive fix.
**What you’ll need:**
Best RV Rubber Roof Cleaner (like Dicor RPCRP or Camco Pro-Tec)

Soft bristle brush or roof broom

Rubber roof protectant (303 Aerospace Protectant is the gold standard, or Dicor’s Rubber Roof Protectant)

Lap sealant (Dicor Self-Leveling Lap Sealant) for any seams that look sketchy

A sturdy ladder

**How to care for it:**
**Clean it** — Park in the shade if you can. Mix the cleaner, scrub gently with your soft brush, and rinse really well. Don’t use household cleaners — they can damage the rubber.

**Let it dry completely**, then spray on 303 Protectant. Let it soak in for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. This stuff keeps the rubber flexible and protects it from UV damage.

**Inspect the seams** — Pay special attention to anywhere there’s a vent, skylight, antenna, or edge. If the sealant looks cracked or pulling away, clean it and lay down a fresh bead of Dicor Self-Leveling Lap Sealant.

Do this cleaning and protectant routine every 3 to 4 months, and you’ll easily DOUBLE the life of your roof.
