    Sagging Roof Leak Woes!!!!

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced a leaking roof while the trailer is in storage (closed). We opened the trailer about a month ago to get the trailer ready for our first summer camping trip. To our horror, we found the mattress damp and evidence of water all over it. We lifted it up and...

    What does Dynamax use to seal skylight to roof?

    I've got to replace a hail-damaged skylight bubble over our shower (2017 I5 35DB). I have found the replacement, but I want to know what the factory uses between the polycarbonate dome and the fiberglass roof? Since it's not hot out (yet), I fear that the traditional butyl tape will not "give"...

    HW277 Factory Mount Location for Roof Gauge Cable

    Hello All, I purchased a used 2016 HW277, but the red roof gauge cable isn't connected properly. The owner had the top part connected to the cotter pin on the top roof rail and the bottom end of the cable wasn't mounted at all. I have a pretty good idea of where the bottom part of the cable is...

    Fiberglass roof cracking

    Recently, I came across a thread on Facebook where several owners were experiencing long cracks on the roofs of their rigs. The rigs include a 2022 XL, 2022 Europa, 2- 2022 DX3's, and a 2020 DX3. To my untrained eye, they look like stress cracks and of the pictures posted, all seem to start at a...

    Roof doesn't go all the way down

    So I bought my new to me flagstaff hw27ks last Friday and I've opened and closed it a few times as I've been doing some modifications and fixing a few odds and ends. Every time I close her up the roof will come down and stop maybe 2 in from fully closed. It's so far up I have to unscrew the...

    2017 ACE Roof Maintenance

    Check the photos and let me know how I did. I opted to use Eternabond tape rather than Dicor because I thought with what appeared to be multiple layers and loose sections. I’ve got more to do, front and rest of sides. I think I may go with Dicor around skylights and vents, since I’ve heard (and...

    Seeking Non Roof Caulk Recommendations

    I noticed today that the caulking on the exterior of my Wolf Pup has disappeared. This photo of the third tail light shows that the caulk around the top of the light is gone. I know that I hear don't use silicone, but is that for everything? It appears the old was just a clear caulk so can I...

    Well, one of the roof sideboards need to be replaced on my 2017 Flagstaff 625D. I've been resealing the roof but what I did not notice is that the board has been swollen for some time and has now failed.

    FR3 32DS Rubber Roof Black Spots Cleaner?

    I am using the Dicor rubber roof cleaner. Very slow process. Hosing off area, hands and knees, spray area, use brush circular motion, so this twice. Gotta be a better and smarter way to do this. Thinking of using power washer (electric not very powerful) after applying Dicor. Any thoughts...
