what type of roof do I have?

I have a 2016 Wildwood 201BHXL that needs roof caulking touch up. At first I thought I had an EPDM type of roof, now I'm not so sure. Is it possible Forest River used the Alpha roof material for that model year? My roof does has a slight texture to it.

Here is a link to a YouTube video that shows you how to determine the type roof you have



Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing that link. I also called Forest River and they were very helpful. For that model year, it's an Alpha type of roof and they recommended using Dicor sealants.

Glad it helped but I've never heard of an "Alpha" type roof. What is that?

From the Alpha Systems website:

SUPERFLEX is a state-of-the-art roofing membrane engineered to provide premium performance for today’s demanding RV roof designs. SUPERFLEX Roofing Membrane is an Olefin-based single-ply membrane that is approximately half the weight of EPDM. SUPERFLEX Roofing Membrane is very stretchable and conforms to the multiple contours of today’s RV’s in a clean, chalk-free non-fade membrane.
