I found out that the insulation I used, and Plasti Dip do not mix....
These were just 2 test pieces, and both of them had 1 light coat applied, and then a heavier second coat over top of that after it dried some.

Yeah, not a good solution.
If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

We finally had a nice day of weather, while I was free, so I pulled back the extra TPO to get to the end of the roof plywood.

If you look close you can see 3 different layers of roofing plywood, all 1/4" thick. (actual is about .200 each). They are not fully flush, and that is what I needed to fix.

First step is to cut a block so I can use that to hold the router base against, so I can keep the end of the roof parallel with the back wall.

The instant I finished cutting the block to length, I said to myself, that's wrong.
I need 6 1/2" from the back wall to the router bit, not 6 1/2" to the end of the block, plus the the router base. Duh... Lol.
So, I measured from the router bit, and put my 6 1/2" mark on the block, and re-cut the block, just a little shorter.

Next came the juggling act of trying to hold the block against the back wall, while holding the router against the block, all while cutting the plywood.

After a false start, things went well. The rear overhang now extends the same distance the whole way across the back.

Next, I'll need to round off the top side, and start gluing the TPO into place.

No need to go overboard there. Run a little 120 grit paper down the cut, put a piece of guerilla tape around the edge then glue the TPO down. Works great, and yes, I have done it myself so I know it works. My RV tech buddy, who literally grew up in the business gave me the tip.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.

So there is going to be a 6" roof overhang around 3 sides of the coach? I sure don't want you to start 10 more pages of testing posts but aren't you concerned how 80-100 MPH winds (combined driving + wind speed) might effect that? No reason to mention the amount of damage that is likely from tree branches and the like!
