Hi 68c / DJL220 - I'm trying to find which product it was you used on the roof and/or a supplier finding the https://www.alltimescoatings.co.uk/ website not obvious

So it looks like the website has changed since I purchased. I used liquid rubber from the following website, which has also changed !

The roof on our motorhome is fibreglass at the front over-cab and the rest is aluminium. Would the liquid rubber in that advert be suitable and is it white?

I used the liquid rubber supplied by All Times Coatins, but as you found, it looks like they no longer supply it.
I googled around and found-

Not sure how old that link is, but they do show the stuff I used.

Not cheap but very effective. The main thing is to get a two part product that sets chemically rather than just drying out. It even sets under water so no great disaster if it rains.
It sets within an hour so plan your work out, have every thing ready and good access to the area.

Oh, it is white.

I am no expert on this though, that is just my opinion. I would considered fibreglass though as it is extremely durable, water tight and tough for protection against impact or intrusion from underneath.

Fibreglass offers little or no protection from impact I'm afraid.

Glad I don't have a million pound super yacht, hate to imagine it hitting a floating log.

You'd be surprised at just how easily fibreglass splits. We run Yamaha jetskis in our business and after one week they are damaged. Unless you make the panels 10cm thick, which rather defeats the object of using fibreglass in the first place.

I had a friend many years ago who bought a Lotus Elise. He like bowling and one day left his bowling ball in the boot. Next day, on his way to work, the ball rolled around a few times and wrote off his Lotus. He was not a happy bunny.

I was talking about stones coming up from underneath not from vehicular impact from the rear.

Fibreglass is actually really good protection to add to the underneath of a wooden floor.

It is what is used in the back of builders vans to make the ply lining extremely resilient.

Standalone Fibreglass panels are different from wood reinforced with fibreglass.

True. Fair enough then.
