Has anyone used camping world to clean and seal their Edam roof, they want $384.00 on a 40 ft. Toyhauler?

That seems awfully steep. I'm bringing my Impact home next weekend and will do it myself. A bucket of soap water, a long handled brush, some deck shoes, a long hose and a couple of hours and it will be done. I'll just be careful not to fall off, that's a tall first step! Resealing is only done at the spots where I see a gap or any questionable area. I was just up on mine at my storage shed and did a preliminary one and did not see any areas of concern then but will inspect closer in the sunlight next weekend. I may even pay myself $384 if that is the going rate!

What type of sealer?

Depends on your roof membrane material. If you are not sure what it is you can tell by taking down the trim ring in your shower. Remove 4 screws, pull down the ring and the material will be folded up and stapled there. Here is a link to a video demonstrating this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL5qJw397Rc

Once you determine what kind you have, you can then buy the right sealant at your Rv dealer or other preferred supply store.

I hope that this helps.

I inspected my roof a month ago and was doing some work on an antenna and noticed the Dicor on the seams on the edge where the TPO meets the trim were cracked. This was in several places. Have only been out twice so far this year. Didn't think there could be such a change in a month. I'll be checking it more frequently now.
