    Is this typical roof maintenance?

    Roof AC support foam blocks

    On our 2014 390FL Class A I noticed the small black rubber pads on the rear ends of the A/C units are not touching the roof. My question is should they be? Do I need to add additional support foam, and if so where can I purchase the material? I recently had the AC unit replaced.

    I just picked up my 2022 Riverstone Reserve 3850RK last week. I was walking the roof today and noticed a "X" marked on the roof. Under the X is an approximately 2" diameter hole cut in the roof decking. It is right by the solar panels, so I assume they cut in the wrong location and just...

    Roof sealant melting ?

    I have a 2020 rpod 195. The sealant seems to be melting behind the awning. I live in South Florida. I know it's hot but this doesn't seem normal. I'm a little concerned it is roof sealant. Any help would be appreciated. I've never used any sealant on the roof since new.
