Henry HE887HS073 Tropicool Roof Coat, 5 Gallon

Do not hesitate to buy this for your RV membrane roof!!!! It's awesome!!!! Read the instructions and follow them obviously!! I cleaned my roof with "Gone In 30". No pressure washer, just a hose with decent water pressure and a scrub brush. I masked off the perimeter around the gutter, then got side tracked helping a friends wife for several hours as he was in the hospital n when I got home, I brushed the edges about 6" wide all around, on my 37' 5th wheel as I only had a couple hours b4 it was supposed to rain and I didn't want to waste all the masking I'd done. I carefully pulled the masking off n it rained about 2 hours later with no I'll effects at all n I swear I think the damp helped it cure. It rained reasonable hard n I stood at my second floor window next to the RV watching n stressing that the rain would wash over the new coating n somehow stain the walls as it ran off but all it did was bead up and run off clean n didn't leave any marks or water tracks on the walls. The next day I blew the roof off with compressed air n let it dry then rolled n brushed my way from one end to the other, dipping out of the 5 gallon bucket with a little quart sized hand held painting container as it was too awkward to dump out of the 5 with any control and after a couple pours with the little bucket I had a pretty good idea how much too apply. You don't really have to move too fast, but once you get an area done don't go back into it any more than needed as it will start pulling a bit as it cures. I put a coat on that day and it was just foggy enuf to be cool but not dewy and again I believe this stuff likes the moisture in the air. I repeated this again the next day with the same conditions although I put it on a bit heavier as I knew I was going to have plenty. After all was said n done I barely used 4 gallons of this product for 2 coats plus on a 37' 5th wheel. After it dried it peeled out of the plastic paint container I used easily but has a death grip on my membrane roof. If I had to do this again I'd probably pour out of the 5 into a 2 gallon bucket n dip out of that so I could reseal the 5 as it does skin over when left open too long. The last thicker coat was dry to the touch in about an hour n a half or so.

1. A 5 gal bucket covered my 32' 5th wheel with 3 slide outs and had about 1/5th the bucket left over. 2. Thick and gooey stuff that dries quickly and spreads nicely. You should use it on a cool or cloudy day or it will lump up as you put it down. Forms a skin on a closed bucket that is not useable. Peeling the skin back to get underneath works. I suggest placing a plastic sheet on the top of the mix inside the bucket so that air cannot reach the stuff. 3. Make sure the surface is dry and clean. It will not stick to any kind of damp surface. Otherwise, it seems to stick quite well to multiple surfaces ( metal, plastic, rubber roof) 4. You can't clean up with water, or soap and water. I just tossed everything after I used it. Washing your hands is a chore. I'd suggest nitrile gloves. 5. I did not thin the mix and I'm not sure what you would thin it with--definitely not water. 6. Dries to a glossy finish and thickens as it dries. Surface seems quite durable and somewhat pliable. Fills in cracks nicely. Has no odor I could detect. 7. I applied it with a traditional paint roller and a paint brush, which worked well. 8. Overall I'd say it's a good product as far as application and appearance. How it wears remains to be seen.

Great product that is durable and thick. Applied with a paintbrush to get good coverage. Only negative is that it dries so quickly and the price point, but it seems to have great coverage and helped with keeping the RV cool!

This coating goes on easy and covers well . I put on 2 coats with 5 gallons on a 36’ motorhome. One thing I noticed is that after it dries and it has any moisture on the roof , it’s as slippery as being on ice .

Game changer. I used Enduro tape for the seals and then layed 3 coats on my roof and wow. My AC no longer struggled to keep the R-pod 202 in the 70s is the South West Texas heat. On the flip side we have had some temps down in the mid 30s here and it keeps the temp from cracking below 60 in the camper without using the heater as it holds heat in. I would advise you to take a look inside your roof and you will notice very little insulation inside and where it has some it is not connected at all with large gaps. I would put this on a new camper. Total eco game changer. Less electric, less propane, big help for the boondockers. Going to edge the windows next with the tubes. Tropicool for the win. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

This coating works great, the coverage is unbelievable, it goes a long ways and goes on nice. Now if it holds up to the sun(and my bet is that it does ). The only thing that concerned me was the use by date was up on the 5 gal that I received, but still happy with the results!!!

After a lot of research I finally settled on this product. Although it was one of the more expensive options I still decided to purchase it. I applied the Henry Tropical Roof Coat on the roof of my 43’ Park Model RV as well as the roof of the adjoining sunroom. It’s been 14 months since I applied it. My RV is permanently parked outside in the direct sun of south Florida (Key Largo, FL) year round and exposed to all the elements. I went up on the roof today to check on things. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find out how wonderfully this product is holding up. It looks EXACTLY as it did the day after I applied it! It has maintained its brilliant white appearance and is still very playable and soft to the touch. No cracking or degradation at all and no chalkiness whatsoever. It’s still smooth, shiny and soft. I would highly recommend this product. Apparently it’s true, you get what you pay for. One very satisfied customer here!

I have not used this HERRY product yet, but I have used other HENRY products and have great trust in them they have served me well.

Excellent product! Looks very durable! East to roll on!
