You bring up some great questions! I applied the RV roof magic to my camper two years ago. I also made a video on my application. My wife and I are fulltimers. I went through so much research for the product that would suit my needs. I wanted to stay away from silicone based products and something that is the same as my current roof. This product bonds to the roof material to create a really tight (permanent) bond.
I thick coat does feel rubbery and is not chalky. It is incredibly slippery when wet.
I would recommend applying after a thorough wash. They have a wash but I used a light pressure washer, a scrub brush. Then dawn soap, bleach and then simple green. Be sure to kill all the mold you can. It will come through the coating even though it has a mildicide in it.
I also recommend to apply it under 80 degrees. It dries fast and makes a mess if not careful. I had to apply in two coats to get the right application. They suggest one coat.
I also had a few tiny bubbles pop up over time but it still does the job.
I have not had a leak since I applied it so it is doing its job. However, I feel like it might need a recoat of something in a year or two.
The product has withstood an Arizona summer heat, down pour rain storms, snow storms, and over 20k miles of travel. I do feel like it might be more reflective then the regular roof but no hard core evidence.
If you have questions, let me know, otherwise Gary from RV Roof Magic was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend emailing or calling him.

Curious what about your research led you to stay away from a silicone based coating? __________________

Well I have been in the commercial roofing business for 40 years and can assure you that there is no "magic" in the roofing business. I don't know how old your EPDM roof is or if it's black or white. EPDM roofs will chalk as they age. The key to recoating is good surface preparation. I would power wash the roof being careful not to get too close to the membrane or penetrations with the nozzle as this may cause damage to them. Next step would be to clean the surface with stiff fiber brush and a solution of Spic & Span or similar detergent, followed by a good rinsing with clean water. Then you could recoat with a good coating. I would recommend an acrylic coating. I would be hesitant to use a solvent based coating and would definitely not use a silicone coating as it will be difficult to make future repairs. Most repair materials will not stick to silicone. EPDM is a pretty durable membrane and will easily last 20 years. Most leaks are caused by failure of the sealant around penetrations or cuts in the membrane. I would carefully examine the sealant around your penetrations before spending the money on coating the entire roof. A good polyurethane sealant is what I use. Smearing a coating over the entire roof without examining the sealant around the penetrations may not solve the problem. Of course, if the membrane is older than 20 years a recoat may be necessary.

Is your roof EPDM?
Thank you in advance.

After visiting the site, it seems very similar to the many (safer) elastomeric products that have less documented fear of there being any water on the roofs.
Still requires priming in some cases (called "flash coat" by the company) and has special caulks to replace suspect caulks, etc. The mention of wrinkling if too thick and bubble/blisters if any water would make be leary.
I've used a few elastomeric products on home roofs and they are pretty easy, very forgiving when it came to spot retouch.
Still comes down to around the same cost, same labor, etc.
Could be down to personal choice - I usually LOVE true solvent-based products over the newer "greener" products, so maybe -. but. read on.
Coincidentally, I'm having my fiberglas roof done as I type - it's getting FlexArmor - granted it'll cost me nearly 10X as much - but all the components come off the roof and are re-seated and sealed and it has a 100% lifetime transferable warranty. Plus, these old bones won't be on the roof on hands and knees prepping and scrubbing. Maybe I'm getting too spoiled.
Do have your rig weighed after, fully loaded, because FlexArmor is not light. If they take most, if not all of the original roof off, then you should be good to go. If you add weight, you will be not only heaver, but more top heavy. Complete removal of the old roof is the best.
I would recommend applying after a thorough wash. They have a wash but I used a light pressure washer, a scrub brush. Then dawn soap, bleach and then simple green. Be sure to kill all the mold you can. It will come through the coating even though it has a mildicide in it.
Magical kanan, a tradition rooted in ancient folklore, adds an extra layer of mystique to the autumn season. Kanan, a Japanese word meaning "autumn's beauty," is believed to embody the spirit of autumn itself. It is said that kanan possesses the ability to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences, as if sprinkling invisible magic upon the world. The concept of magical kanan encourages us to slow down and appreciate the fleeting beauty of nature. It beckons us to take leisurely walks through parks and forests, observing the transformation of the landscape firsthand. Amidst the rustling of leaves and the soft touch of a gentle breeze, one can't help but feel a connection to something greater than themselves. Autumnal charm and magical kanan remind us of the importance of embracing change in our own lives. Just as the leaves let go of the branches they've clung to all summer, we too must learn to let go and move forward. Autumn is a season of reflection, a time to shed old habits and make room for growth. It is a reminder that transformation is beautiful and necessary for personal development. So, as the autumnal charm surrounds you and the magical kanan envelops your senses, take a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty of this fleeting season. Bask in its vibrant colors, savor its crisp air, and allow yourself to be captivated by the simple yet extraordinary moments that autumn brings. Live in the present, knowing that change is constant, and that there is beauty to be found in every season of life..
