I don't know the answer to your question, but guess one thing would be excessive heat build up inside the trailer... these things aren't insulated like a house and they don't have a ventilated roof, that with the fast heat change could cause a condensation problem... but again I am guessing...

I would recommend the Brit-Tek.
Try going to Dicor website for better info.
Black roof would be bad.

check out previous threads about using LineX or similar. I wouldn't put black up there in ga or anyplace south of alaska.

wait a minute. you are from Georgia right? you plan on using this in the summer right? do you use air conditioning and want it sort of cool in your RV? It will be a virtual oven inside with a black roof. but that's JMHO. how many reasons do you need?

A few years ago I had my 5th wheel roof sprayed with a gray rhino coat and it's been great. We haven't noticed much of a temperature change, but we don't spend a LOT of time in our trailer anyway....and that's what we have Air Conditioning for.
Damage wise, I think black will make it pretty hot inside. Other than that, it will never come off, but you will still have to seal around the vents etc, with silicone.
