  • Roof Cleaning

    We have a 2020 Reflection 337RLS. We bought it new last year. How often and what products do you use to clean the roof? Thanks Steve

    Chad & Tara with Changing Lanes RV did a great episode on their YouTube channel about roof maintenance 2 weeks ago. I encourage you to watch it because there really is more to roof maintenance than just cleaning it, but the cliff notes version: use Simple Green.

      I would think how often depends where it’s stored and how it’s used. If it’s stored outside or used full time I’d wash it 2-3 times a year, I store mine inside so I do it once a year. Mainly Dawn dish soap.

      More important than washing it is inspecting the sealant and seams to make sure it’s all still in tact. That I do 3-4 times a year even with inside storage.

        Thank you Midwest Expectations. I did watch the whole video. Very informative. They seem to be very knowledgeable about many aspects of Grand Design.

          Apparently my 2020 Reflection is an Alpha TPO roof. Will the Dicor Self Leveling caulk work OK on the Alpha roof?

          Also I found it interesting that in the video he used mineral spirits to clean the caulking. I was under the impression that all of the rubber roof manufacturers recommended NOT to use an oil based product on them. Maybe using on the caulk and being careful not to get on the rubber roof is OK.
