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!!
Howard, like your old 5er, we have a roof mounted DirecTV automatic antenna. I am wondering how flexarmor handles the cables laying on the roof. Do they spray over them or are they removed and reinstalled afterwards? If encapsulated there could be a problem if service was ever need, if reinstalled they would be making a bunch of holes and lap sealant in the brand new roof. Since you actually crossed this bridge, how was yours done?
Thanks, Ron

I'm struggling to remember exactly how this was done.
First, we had a satellite internet dish at the time the roof was done. When we removed the internet dish and replaced it with the TV dish, we had to re-spray around the new dish base.
I'm pretty sure the cables were removed and then replaced after the roof was sprayed. Then they laid the cables on top of the new roof and used lap sealant every few feet to secure the cables to the roof rather than screwing in brackets.
But that was back in early 2004, and they may do things differently now.
Gracias! That makes more sense than using cable routers and nails or screws in a new roof. Strips of eternabond could also be an effective “wire securing method”.

I have the RV Flex Armor Roof that is about two years old now and Love it. No more leaks or maintenance except for cleaning. My problem is I want to Install some Solar Panels on the roof and don't want to drill any holes for the mounts. I read where some folks are using the 3M VHB tape with good results. has any of this group tried that? TIA

Tape will work fine. Never seen an RV solar panel by the side of the road.
