Hey guys and gals. My wife and I just purchased a 2021 1251. I noticed when it's fully closed the drivers side of the roof is slid over. Almost to the point its touching the side of the camper which caused the rubber seal to tear. The passenger side has a large gap. My questions are 1. Why is...
Hey All,
Unfortunatley, I'm in a bind.
The rear right corner has rotten and the corner post mount is pulling through the sidewall of the roof. I know this means a major overhaur of the roof structure. UGH.
That said, I need a short term fix. I'm thining about buying a large piece of steel...
Hi All,
Just opened for the first time and seems I"m up ther provervial creek.
The rear right corer had some water intrusion a couple years ago. I remedied with sealing tape and dicor caulk. Seems the problem was worse than I anticipated.
The corner post mount has clearly started to pull...
I've been watching my roof every year for that day to reseal and so far I don't believe I'm there as of yet being I do keep under shelter 80% of its life. But, My son just bought a 2008 Keystone Montana Mountaineer Edition and the roof need to be cleaned, washed, and resealed. Can some one give...
My 2023 Georgetown GT7 32J had a ceiling leak during a heavy downpour that dripped thru the LED light nearest the AC behind our driving seats. Can the AC ingest water thru its vents while parked? Or is this definitely an indication that the seal on the roof is compromised? Basically is this an...
Is it possible to cut out about 4ft of the end of the roof front side board and replace it without having to remove the whole panel? I have a back corner that leaked and only about 4ft of the end is bad and needs to be replaced. There is no interior water damage, just the end of the roof front...
Our seamless fiberglass roof appears to be in good shape but I do see some small lines, not cracks. We are the 3rd owners and keep it under cover. However, I think it needs sealed. What have you all done or recommend?
Thanks!
Hello all, I am new here but hoping someone can help me with my issue.
I have two maxfans on the roof of my 2021 Sandstorm 286GLSR. Recently, one stopped working. I thought the unit was bad I pulled it off and tested it. The unit is good. The fan was connected to a green wire and white wire. I...
Hello

2022 Jayco 24RE purchased April 26, 2022, after waiting a year to manufacture our order.
(This could be a big long story but even my attention span has limits.)
Skip ahead past 2 year warranty date of course, early June 2024 and first trip out this year moldy smell from AC ducts -first time...
We have a 2005 Shamrock 21SS. The original owner put some sort of sealant on the roof (he implied he only used the best - I’m thinking it was dicor, but not certain). That sealant is wearing away in some spots and we’d like to maintain/replace it the best we can. What product should we use and...
A member asked a question about the REV. I do not answer private messages (privately) as no one else learns from a one-on-one conversation, so I have posted question and answer here.

My wife and I are considering buying a 2015 Rev TB. While we're Mainers, the rig has lived most of its life...
I just bought a Winnebago Intent 31P 2019 and driving it today against high winds During the trip it sounded like something was vibrating and flapping on the roof and I was worried that the roof was coming apart. It sounded like a very loud flapping/vibrating noise coming from the front cap...
I have a 2023 GeoPro with an Alpha Systems TPO (I think) roof. I was getting ready to buy some Dicor to seal a leak that has appeared, but then came across some people saying only use Alpha Systems proprietary sealant. Can anyone confirm or deny that?
Also, the TPO at the sealant edges around...
Hi. New to RVs. I.work on my own vehicles so I do everything DIY except transmission and engine block rebuilds.
I bought a 2001 Thor Tahoe Transport Lite 18TB this week. Paid $6,000. Only compact toy hauler I could find. It's plain jane inside and in fair shape.
I noted no leaks or damaged...
How do I add a house thermostat to roof AC?
I have an old-style bi-metal thermostat I want to use instead of the AC's temp sensor. I moved the knobs/controls to the wall but that took the temp sensor out of the airflow and to the wall. It still works but not as good, but that is not the...
I have a folding hard-wall a-frame trailer.
It has the front and rear roof panels that rise up, with the torsion bars front and back which are supposed to make the lifting totally easy.
And it was easy, when the trailer was new.
Over the past four years, the roof panels got heavier and...
I originally posted this question to an old post, Replacing Rear Roof Foam Strip, but did not get a response. So, I thought to start a new thread to learn what you experienced A-Framers have done to safely access and work on the center portion of the roof.
What do you use to put across the roof...
Black gasket material protrudes an 1/8 tp a 1/4 inch from the seem on one side of my high wall's fiberglass roof. The protruding material is crumbling off. Should I trim where necessary and apply sealant? If I should apply a sealant, RV sealant, silicone sealant, Dicor lap sealant or other...
I am considering upgrading my a/c and am concerned about efficiency on the sloped roof of my 5er. Where the a/c sits it is sloped about 10 degrees. Most manufacturers say up to 15 degrees is okay. However, I have seen 5 degrees recommended. It makes sense that the more level the better the...
Hi,
Dometic Brisk II B57915
I suspect a flying squirrel was determined to make a new home. I recently evicted a family from the eave of my workshop and it appears they took revenge on my RV.
Has anyone had experience patching or repairing the foam enclosure/housing on a rooftop AC unit...
I have a 2007 Yearling and wanted to see if anyone has removed the factory gasket on the top and replaced? Did the factory glue the gasket on and how difficult is it to reinstall?

Hello all, new RV owner here. I just purchased a used 2021 Forest River Willdwood x-lite. I'm having trouble finding out what material the roof is made up of so i know what products to use to clean it.
