Spray on truck bedlinner

[Jagger_ca]

Has anybody heard of using spray-on truck bedlinner to finish and protect the roof of tent campers?

Do a search, it has been discussed on here b4.  Maybe it was discussed as painting orprotecting the pup or something like that

Yes, I did a search but was unable to find anything, would be curious to hear is someone has applied the product to the roof, it would seem to be a good idea for protection and waterproofing.  The only concern I have before I have this done is the possible weight causing the roof to sag?

Someone here did it to the front storage box on their PU. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the roof. I might be a little concerned that air could get under it and it could fly off, if it didn't adhere (like to an ABS roof).

I rememer the post and as I recall the main issue that came up was weight.  Most pop ups have a weight limit of 150 pounds (popped up).  As an A/C is around 100 pounds that did not leave sufficient weight as I recall for the spray on liner.  Again, I didn't do the math - I just remember the conversation.

I also would be concerned about adhesion to the roof.

I can't imagine weight being a genuine issue. I would be surprised if there would be more than 20# of material (although I don't know that for a fact).

That stuff is pretty heavy. I tried to find the weights, but couldn't.

Depending on the thickness of application, you could possibly add up to 50 pounds or more to the roof of the camper. I'd just keep the camper in good shape. It doesn't need that extra weight.

Would neuter on truck bed liner work better?

Thanks for the advice,

I did the whole front of my Utah and the place that did it had pics of a roof they had done. You can get it done in any color you want I did my front in black. Here is a link,

What goes around comes around; I just didn't expect it would get back to me so quick!

Thanks for the pics, very nice.  That is the idea I had in mind!

Having just done a big roof repair to mine, I was thinking about this too.  I called one of the local places and they wanted $350 to do that much area in black (which I didn't want).  The guy said he doesn't tint colors because they fade and get weird looking after a while.  He said the places that do it in color would charge about $150 more for the color.  Bummer.

As far as adheasion goes, this stuff is amazing.  Once down and dry I don't see how you'd ever get it off, short of using a big grinder.

Wow, that seems really expensive.  I have been qouted $250 to cover the roof area, color tinted tan.  I have scheduled the trailer to go in on Friday May 25, but am still not 100% sure I will have it done.  Right now, I have no problems with the roof, and don't want to cause any problems by having this product applied.
