I could get by with a partial renew since it is just a small section on the front left, and then the area right where the front of the membrane meets the front cap is bubbled, but doesn't seem wet under there, just a big air bubble. I may just patch it but the rest of the roof is discolored from years of not having been cleaned (I just bought this coach last fall) so I'm considering doing it all. If not, I may patch the damaged area and liquid roof it. Is Liquid Roof and Liquid Rubber the same product?
They are the same product same manufacture

I will have to move the pics(home computer) to my photoshop acct and then I will post the links here for you (and anyone else) to look at them. I will hope to do this either tonight or Friday.
Thanks, Robert.

Thank you, Robert, for taking your time to do that. I appreciate it! I think I'm going to attack this problem like this: Remove the front portion of the membrane, a bit behind where the underlayment is damaged, then assess the damage. So far I think the damage to the underlayment is confined to two nearby areas in the front of the roof. Likely replace underlayment and foam if necessary to that point, recover with new membrane, lap over the old by at least 6 inches, tape the sides and end of the roof with eternabond, and then recoat the whole thing with liquid rubber. It will cost as much as replacing the entire membrane but hopefully won't take quite as long. does that sound reasonable? Or stupid.

I do not remember seeing how old your roof is. If its older then 10 years then I would seriously consider replacing it. I found that in places that look good there was issues. Another example would be the molding screws, about 80% were rusted. I filled every hole with dowels with Gorilla glue and then installed Stainless Steal screws for every screw I used.
Good luck, Robert

Your right that is easier. I thought I would save the bandwidth and by going to the photobucket I have added titles/discriptions to each photo. But Thank you for the up front photo's.
Thanks, Robert.

Looks, good, thanks! I guess I'll be having some fun this summer. I'm just going to start tearing up the old membrane at the front and see what i see.

I was in East Texas recently and noticed a motorhome with a new roof next to us. Asking the owners about it they told me it was a new spray on foam roofing that not only was better than the original rubber roof but also enhanced the strenght of the roof as well as great insulation. I told my brother about this roofing and he had it installed on an old wooden train car he uses for a work shop. After it was installed he said he could now walk on the roof and it stayed about twenty degrees cooler in there in the summer than outside. His roof for the train car was only a thousand dollars completely installed and he said it only took them about two hours to do it.
You might check on this procedure and I know they give a ten year warranty on the work. Not sure if anyone in your area does this but might be worth checking out.
