    Nuts and rain noise on roof - help!

    We have 10 wooded acres in northern Michigan we camp on. Since we are in the woods, our camper is surrounded by trees which causes nuts to fall on top of the roof.

    What is this on my roof?

    New to trailers, I own a 2022 FR Ozark BHK1650x. Today I noticed this black thing next to the AC. I don't recall seeing this last year. Perhaps the cap flew off? Also some warpage is seen. Should I make an inspection appointment at the FR dealership?

    Check your roofs!

    Even though I did my spring roof check last month I decided that before our big trip to the beach tomorrow I should check again. As soon as I got up there I saw the hole granted it's very small but it was a gouge. If there were some signs of drag marks like from a branch I would understand. This...

    Hey folks, my 2018 is starting to show some age despite still looking great while living life under a cover 99.99% if the time when not used. I have no leaks, should I peruse fixing or let it be? It bugs me for sure to see it but I also feel that with no leaks, it might be best to be left alone?
