I think that many roof coatings work very well to cover RV roof problems .  But most RVs do not have the high quality roof that Foretravel's have.  While the coatings resolve issues, the coatings may be harder to keep clean and maintained for many years, and may not be needed for most Foretravel motorhomes.
 
I believe that many coatings rely on quoting how the coating help keep the coach cool, like the following:
GARDNERĀ® STA-KOOL  -  WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT
    85% REFLECTIVITY
    KEEPS ROOF SURFACE COOL
    HELPS REDUCE COOLING COSTS


The coating material composition probably has little value in keeping things cool.  It seems it is the white color that keeps the coach cooler, something that all white paint & coatings will equally do.  So why do they need to over market reflective benefit, when it does little to differentiate a product from all others.

You may check with Xtreme or FT for roof paint. I had it done and very happy with the result. I had it done because I did not want to get the white chalk in the future like our previous 94 FT.
Yup, When I had Exteme do all the repairs to our roof (No thanks to Camping World ), had them do the paint thing..NO White streaks! and not as slippery when wet .
