In the RV industry, TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. It is a type of synthetic roofing material commonly used on RV roofs.

Key Features of TPO RV Roofs:

Lightweight – Helps improve fuel efficiency.
Durable & Flexible – Resists cracks and damage from weather.
UV & Heat Resistant – Reflects sunlight to keep the RV cooler.
Low Maintenance – Requires periodic cleaning but is easy to care for.

TPO is often compared to EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), another common RV roofing material. While EPDM is a rubber-based material, TPO is a blend of rubber and plastic, making it more rigid and resistant to punctures.

For RV owners, proper maintenance of a TPO roof includes regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, and resealing seams as needed to prevent leaks.
