I'd like to apply some sort of protectant / sealer to the roof of our 'van while it's still fairly new. Can anyone recommend a good product? I've seen ad's for Elixir Plas-T-Cote but not sure if it's the right stuff. Any advice appreciated.

I see the Grey Nomad Times has a story about a new caravanner's partner who refuses to drive while towing. I certainly can understand someone who hasn't had experience with towing having that fear.
