    Roof Maintenance?

    We just got back from our first big road trip with our 2023 Rockwood 2608BS (5 National Parks, 2 National Monuments, 5500+ miles driven!). Made a list of little items to be addressed with our dealer (still under warranty) and proceeded to wash the grime and bugs off the camper. Anyway, upon...

    Holy thin roof Batman! Solar panels gonna fly off?

    I just screwed a bunch of solar panels to the roof of my Palomino HS-8801 truck camper. The wood sheet that makes up the roof is like 1/4" thick and my wood screws barely grab. A few screws got lucky and drove into some thicker wood but most are barely in there. Was I supposed to use a stud...

    2007 Flagstaff Roof Issue

    We recently bought our first pop up. The 'plastic' roof has a lot of ripples and dips, some of which hold quite a bit of rain water. Fortunately there doesn't appear to be any leaks yet. Does anyone know what is under this plastic layer and should I just leave well enough alone since it is not...

    Adding a ladder for roof access

    Are there mounting points with backing for a roof access ladder? I'd like to add a ladder to the back. I have the Xtend and climb extendable ladder, but those are not the safest ladder to use on a regular basis. Not sure what others do, but I routinely go on the roof to wash and inspect the...

    Roof Cleaning

    Hey folks, been a while since I've been on here. Coming up on needing to clean the moldy black residue off my Salem roof from sitting under trees. Couple of questions: #1, how durable is the roof if I were to need to crawl on it to really apply some elbow grease in some of the tight areas? I...

    How much weight does the roof hold?

    I have a 26DBH and was wondering how much weight the roof holds when someone is on top of it. I am a heavy guy and do not want to take the risk of damaging the roof.

    Roof shrinking, anyone else seen this?

    Hello, first time posting here so thank you in advance for any help. Bought this Salem 241BHXL trailer new in April 2020. It's the first RV I've owned so to say I've learned lots of lessons these last few years would be a major understatement. In the first few years I've had to have new wires...

    Aluminum roof with Azdel walls?

    Hoping there's a WP guru who can answer my question. Did Forest River make a Work and Play that has the aluminum roof and Azdel exterior walls? If yes, what year(s) and what model(s). Thank you! Jackie

    The odor...it wasn't my roof vent! Dometic toilet

    I've spent weeks and hundreds of dollars fighting the sewage smell. Replaced the roof vent with multiple different styles. Tried every possible chemical in the black tank. Been fighting since we first got our 2020 wildwood 179dbk. Replaced the air admittance valves. Ordered replacement floor...

    What's this coax for on the roof?

    I was preparing to install a rain guard over my vent but this coax is in the way. It's just a mount with a capped coax. The large round antenna is for my TV, so I'm wondering if I can just remove this coax connection, tape off the coax inside and seal that hole with Eternabond so the rain guard...

    Roof Leak?

    Just had our master bed get soaked from a rainstorm. Is a leaky roof the culprit here? If so, what is the fix? A full roof replacement? Is there a patch that can fix it? If it’s not a roof issue, what else could cause it? Thanks for any advice.

    Cover trailer roof to improve AC output?

    In a couple of weeks we'll be camping in Tybee Island Georgia. Those of you in the south know it gets hot in the sun. Last year the AC unit had trouble as the day went buy keeping the trailer in the low 70's it was set to. Never got above say 77 degrees but a 15K BTU in a 30' trailer is a lot of...

    RV Roof Tear/Slit

    We have a 2018 Forest River Wild Cat 28SGX. Over the past 3 weeks two tears/slits (20.5 inches and 10.5 inches long) have appeared in the roofing membrane with apparent water leaking into exterior wood of the roof. The roof feels bumpy. The tears look like someone took a knife and just cut it...

    Ladder replacement for vegas coach

    I was finally able to get a dealer to order the exact ladder I needed for my 2016 Vegas and have Thor drop ship it to me. I had to pay over $600 for it. Now, I want to install it myself because quotes to install have been between $300-over $500. It seems pretty straightforward, but I have one...

    Rear roof ladder

    I just picked up my new 2023 fr3 34ds. It did not come with the optional rear roof ladder and bracket. My dealer is ordering both but is saying they won't install the bracket because they don't know if ther is backing to support it. My understanding is this was optional so the backing should...

    2015 Apex 300BHS roof rail strip

    While doing roof maintenance on my 300BHS I found that the plastic strip / cover that goes in the side rails that hold the roof material down have disintegrated. It appears to me these are cosmetic and just cover the screws, as it's unlikely it was water proof even when new. Anyone know what...

    Top sway? How far should roof sway side to side?

    I have a '94 Jayco Cardinal SD which extends to 42 3/4 " when fully extended - that being how far up the roof travels from closed to open. I just replaced the entire lift system; replaced cables, springs, rivets, crank cable and block, and 2 of 4 tracks. I did not think any of the lift arms or...

    TPO Roof Cleaner?

    Hello everyone! I cannot get a straight answer from Coachmen about whether I should use a cleaner and a protectant on my Class C TPO Roof, and if so what kind does Coachmen recommend? So I thought I'd jump on the forum and ask the experts, the real people who use the products and care for their...
