    Roof membrane bubble and failure

    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...

    Windjammer issue with tongue Jack (self inflicted) and radio antennas on the roof

    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...

    XTRM Ply Roofing is it considered a TPO Roofing?

    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...

    New camper got a roof question

    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...

    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.

    Solar panels on composite roofs

    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!

    Roof question

    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...

    Roof Issue 3000 Miles from Home

    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...

    Roof doesn't seem right

    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?

    Roof dent dilemma . . . Coachmen Beyond

    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 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?
