Well it finally happened, on our long trip in June the roof membrane started separating from the roof structure. The roof had always had some loose spots but FR and the dealer said it was normal and not too worry, I posted about this issue in 2017 or 2018.
We noticed some saw dust on our bed...
I just picked up a couple of SoftStartRV units and plan to install at least one tomorrow. We spend some time mooch docking with family, and if all goes well, I should be able to run 1 of the AC units off a 20 AMP feed with enough left for the fridge.
I took the covers off the units to see...
I've been trying to figure out what needs to be done to maintain the roof on my Hybrid. As you can see in my signature, it's a 2017 Shamrock 23WS. I've been trying to research this topic but it seems there are a lot of different roof materials used on different campers but I don't find much...
Does anyone actually know the model of the Thule roof rack cross bars on the 2021 HW277 tent trailer? I need to look at replacements if possible.
thanks!
First off. I caused a bend in the Jack post. Told my wife to inch forward so I could get the chocks out and the Jack was still extended driving the tongue up high.
It caused a very slight curve bend in the post.
So now when I bring the Jack post up for travel it amps out about 4 inches...
This is a Newbie question I know but I can't seem to browse enough to get a knowledgeable answer. I acquired my new FR No Boundaries 19.6 this past December after a 6 month wait and was wondering what I needed to purchase to clean my roof. Previously I had used Dawn dish washing liquid...
I bought 2022 vengence 351g2. I purchased this new camper 8 days ago. I found a soft spot on the roof the dealship says it's a overlap because of all the cut out the manufacturer had to do in this area. That's its completely normal. Is that accurate or are they avoiding dealing with this? On the...
2018 Forest River Cruise Lite 171RBXL. Does anyone know what size the forward small vent cover (14' x 14"?) and the larger bathroom fan vent cap are?
Can just the cover be replaced or do I need an entirely new vent in the bathroom?
Yes, I know I should just climb up on the roof (again) and...
Hello from Vacationland! (Maine) Newbie to RV’ing!
We just purchased a 2022 Palomino Solaire 208SS. Was noticing the fridge is not cooling but freezer is working fine. Called my service department where we bought the trailer. Got the same old line “it takes forever, switch to gas, etc. Had their...
Hi there,
We own a 2016 Rockwood premier 2514G with a power lifted roof. After raising the roof to it maximum, as soon as I let off the up button, the roof seems to drop about a inch. It’s not resting on the safety bars but the red line to tell if the roof is fully open has quite abit of slack...
I want to add two solar panels on my 2022 21DS Microlite TT and could not find any threads that tell you how it should correctly be done on a composite roof. I called Forest River and the tech sent me this PDF on the correct way. I hope this helps anyone else that is going to mount panels too!
I'm about to purchase this 2016 with 11,600 miles.
It was stored outside up in the mountains about 6700' in Arizona.
I am back home now in the Valley but I did take a picture of the roof. Is this normal sealant?
There were some torrential rainstorms, not sure when.
They did admit it had a...
I have a King Tailgater dish mounted to roof of my Rv, and would like to remove it, to make it move able. But I'm not sure if that's possible without messing up my roof. Has anyone ever encountered this and how do I know if I can remove it?
Have our RV at Huntingdon PA but we are from Harrisburg PA, anyone recommend anyone around our area for a new roof replacement on our 2011 Cedar Creek 36 RE?
Want it done right this time had a new one put on seven months ago and it is all messed up so want someone that knows what they are doing...
Hi folks,
Think I'm having the same issues described here, although haven't seen a shadow with a bubble when I'm driving. Every time I've taken the FR3 (it's a 2017 32DS) in for service I've asked them to check on the wrinkles, and every time I've been assured that some wrinkling is normal...
I have a 2019 Palomino SS1600 and so far the roof system works OK, fingers crossed. After hearing all the stories of these systems breaking down, I'd like to know what I can do to lubricate the gears or otherwise service these actuators to hopefully prevent problems down the road?
I'm also...
Just bought this 2022 XLR boost in April and after checking the roof this is what it looks like. I took pictures and sent it to the dealer and They said it was normal and nothing to be concerned with. To me it doesn't seem right. Is this a normal roof?
Just a bit of a rambling post. Our Coachmen Beyond was delivered with a faulty solar panel. This was quickly diagnosed and replaced under warranty by the local (MN) dealer where we bought the Beyond.
But rather than protect the top when installing the new panel, their tech must have just...
I 'm shopping for a Roof Cover for our 378 which is roughly 38 ft . Other than someone on ebay wanting almost $ 700 ( incl shipping) for an Adco 36049 I'm having difficulty finding any. Have roof only covers gone the way of the dinosar. Can anyone suggest a manufacture or supplier I can try . I...
I have discovered that my roof is developing a crack between the roof edge and trim. It appears the sealant is failing. It doesn't look like lap sealant was originally used. Does anyone know what is the correct process and sealant that I should use?
Hi Folks,
I've yet to get up on my roof to explore or inspect. Just discovered I have pre-wiring for my ceiling vents and plan to put in MaxxAir vents. Wondering how strong the roof is, everything I've seen (not specific to my RV) says bring some plywood to help disperse weight (I'm 230lbs)...
Hello to everyone, and hope your travels are fun and safe.
I am about to seal the roof on our camper, and haven't never done this before, I inspected and cleaned it well. From what I can tell it looks to be in good shape. I am looking for some advice or video on how to do this? I feel I can do...
