I don't know the roof maintenance history on my 2005 Cardinal; its EPDM roofing is dirty white, and sort of chalky when I crawl on it, but otherwise it's in seemingly fine shape (no holes, no tears).
I've just re-sealed the vents, front cap seams with Eternabond etc. with new putty tape, new stainless screws, then circle-sealed everything with new Dicor lap sealant.
Fighting melanoma, all that stuff I did was a LOT of work!
>>Is there a vital reason for rolling on a coating $400 worth of Pro-Guard (other than regaining a white-white roof) to coat it with $400 worth of Pro-Guard? Is it vital every 2- 4 years in preserving EPDM? I don't think I have it in me lately to get up there to squeegee and roll... and certainly not the ready cash...
Without coating it, will the EPDM outlast me as it is? (But I do want to protect this RV investment if my wife needs to sell it off in the future.)
