After reading your replies and suggestions I called the dealer and had him delete the spray-in liner and 5th wheel prep system. I can have both of those things done aftermarket. That bumped my...

Toppers

I know what you mean. Poly Glo was more than just a disappointment. It ended up causing more work to remove it. I think it may work on white campers, but darker ones like ours don't look very nice.

X2 Wet and Forget works great! I only have to apply it every couple of years.
Spray it on and roll it up. That's all there is to it. Try not to breath the mist.
