John, I am astonished by your internet sleuthing skills -- yes, my trailer is tiny -- it is a box 12 feet long by 7 feet wide. As soon as I am able (which may be a while), I will climb up on the roof to see what it is made of.
Your write-up of how to waterproof the roof and the siding is just excellent -- so detailed. Have you considered publishing it as a stand-alone post under the DIY forum? I think it would be very valuable to the membership at large -- as matters now stand, it is just a part of my Duck Coat post, which is not going to get very many views by comparison.
Thanks again for your clear and comprehensive comments!

Hi Profdant139,
Thank you for the good words. They humble me.
I will consider creating a post in the DIY forum. I have uploaded many of the pics of the process on my picture server, but I have not yet made it to posting about it. The hope is, in time, it will come. If someone needs help before then, I'm glad to help with specific questions.
The roof coating topic is a big one to understand what can go wrong if one does not do certain steps in order and a need for a better understanding of what was meant in the directions from the manufacturer. It's not hard, it just needs to be understood you have to follow the right method. There is more to getting a lifetime roof coating to last than a quick paint-it-on approach. You must start with a proven track record coating and apply it correctly understanding how RV roofs leak. And then there are the RV-specific items not always spelled out in the directions that can be missed just not knowing about them. I believe and have tested to prove what works and what does not; the right roof coating will give good service if applied correctly and for the right owner's reasons on what they want to accomplish with it. But a coating is not for everyone and does not fix every problem.
Good luck with your camper.
Thanks
John
