When I had my Eagle painted by Mike Wilson I had them coat the roof with TC Ceramics coating. It went on easy, has a slight R factor and held up really well, no peeling or discoloration at all. Posting pics.

Jim Smith used the bed liner on my bus (white)sanded it to have a smooth finish then sprayed clear coat to keep it from yellowing, no telling what it would cost with todays prices to do that

I used Magic Rv Roof Coating on my daughters MH 5 years ago,she lives in Texas and they get hail so far it has not failed. You need to watch some of the coatings they are made for fiberglass roofs, and they take a lot of prep work and primer to bond to the metal roofs on a bus.In the past I never had much luck with Henry's living in AZ desert (112f here Friday) it would start to crack and come loose, but the formula could have changed with the newer Henrys,Dicor could make something for metal roofs their sealant for caulking seams is good stuff.You can save money buying through your local roof and water proofing supplier they sell the same thing, I buy from Best Materials in Phoenix the service can suck sometimes but they get it done

I am sure this topic has been debated to death, but most I find are older. Looking for advise for roll on or brush coating for my 77 gmc. I have cleaned it up and primed any bad areas. Looking at Henry siliconized coating. Any body use their product? Thanks, mike

Leisure Coach has been excellent to us over the years on our DL3-45 complete remodel.  Can't say enough about them re: how they have exceeded expectations.  Interior & exterior, and patience in working with us, and letting us try out new ideas on the coach. 

Feel free to PM with any further questions.

Take care bus friends, Phil

It's not an 8D but I priced a battery for a friend that his Chevy Duramax pickup has the stop and start feature they use an Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) the price is crazy for those, I am staying with the older stuff

The last set of 8Ds we went through in four years were NAPA commercial. We think we prematurely killed them by keeping a 3 stage converter on them. We replaced them with the Sam's Club brand because we've gotten four years out of them in the past for a lot less money. We have five group 31s in the house bank we purchased the same time as the Napa 8D that are the same level commercial and they're still going strong but receiving more TLC hooked to a Magnum 4 stage inverter/charger. A lot has to to with how well they're maintained, right?

I'm sure it did sell. That was a great deal for sure
 Was this a widow trying to get it out of the yard?

I am not sure why it was listed so cheaply, but in the end, he gave it to his son. He didn't know his son wanted it until after he listed it for sale.
