Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

white streaks
Permalink  

We have a black 2006 Tourmaster motorhome that gets white streaks on the sides every time it rains.  I power washed the roof and really didn't help for very long.  The roof is a white rough textured fiberglass.  I don't have a clue of what to do to stop this mess.  Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks

I am by no means an expert in any sense of the word, but I will offer my two cents worth and you can determine if it is worth only one cent. :)

I have a rubber roof and I have been told to never power wash the roof. It may be that when you powerwash your roof (if it is rubber) that you are loosening the components that bind the rubber and that is your white streaks. Just my offering for your consideration, I am sure there are others here that will have a more experienced opinion.... smile

We were just saying that. The roof was fine last year now we have this issue. The only thing we did different is power washing the roof and the coach was sitting in the AZ. sun for 5 months (along with 50,000,000,000 other coaches).

Common fiberglass dilemma. I don't know the solution. I'd go to a marina/boat-yard and ask them or check out a couple marine forums.
