I wouldn't have thought so cos Sandtex is a masonry paint

Don't think there are many alternatives. I found a paint that they use on the hulls of canal boats the other day but it only came in black and was bitumen based. Roof seal might be another but for a few more pounds I'd rather use the proper stuff.
I have nothing at all in my van at the moment. My drive is on a slope so the water tends to run out the back of the van.

I did read somewhere that boat owners have used masonry paint as an anti-slip coating with some success.

I used roof seal (rubberised paint) £15 a tin from B and Q (because Im a tight git) and put rubber matting , also from B and Q, on top. Still ok 2 years later.
