That is the exact reason why I don't want to paint the roof.

There was a beautiful Airstream on the Phoenix Craigslist, except it had a white roof that extended much further down the sides that I think it should have. I don't want to do something so drastic that it would prevent the next person from potentially buying it because I know I'll be moving on to another in the future.

White vinyl decal for the roof to cut down on heat?

I should have said Imron 3500 HG instead of epoxy.

It is a urethane, but I sometimes somewhat mistakenly call it an epoxy.

Properly applied, it is tough as nails and will last a long, long, time without chalking...
