Bunked leaks have been a problem during storage for the last few years and I have tried various things, many from this forum, which did not seem to work for me. I also tried several of my own and finally came across what I think works quite well while at the same time being quick and easy...
I am looking at a 2016 Forester 3171DS. I see the brochure details about the roof with the aluminum frame and insulation, but it does not state the spacing of the roof rafters. I have seen where they say they are 4 feet apart. That worries me somewhat. I know it is all vacuum bonded but if it...

Does anyone know offhand what kind of roofing membrane Forest River was using in those days? I have read that if you pull off a vent trim ring etc and look at the back side you can tell, but have also read it's not always possible to tell. And in this beast about the only...
The cable from my antenna broke was the reason for this repair. The day after I completed this project I noticed there were spots where the roof membrane has separated from the foam underneath. I removed the old lap sealant and cleaned the remaining sealant and area with mineral spirits as...
My wife decided she had to have the Isata 3. We found a 2018 7 hours away and decided the seller seemed to be aware and had taken care of it.
When we got there I found a fist sized pocket of water in the wallpaper just to the right of the back window and the lower corner of the window the...
Hello all -
We have a 2014 Tracer TT 23 foot. And we are presently on a road trip down the coast of Oregon from BC
Our Travelling friends following us towing their TT , noticed that the front of our Trailer roof was Ballooning up approx 6 inches at the front. About 2 1/2 back towards the tv...
I am trying to rebuild my '94 Cardinal SD Designer Series roof and see in the brochure that they claim to have a "True Dome" roof. Well I would like to make mine like it should have been, but I cannot see any true domes, instead I see lots of true cups, like mine.
Can anyone help me know HOW...
So I was reading in a Rockwood Facebook group where a guy with a 2023 Rockwood has the roof separating at the front corner. Now has water under the roofing material because it lifted up. I think he has a 2606WS. This is the second time this week I’ve heard of this problem? Is this common?
Sad day. I was up on the roof of our 2022 I3RW installing a new solar panel. Only second time I've been up there. Found a crack. Feels like a screw head pushing up. I put a piece of Eternabond tape over it.
Happy part of the day, the new solid solar panel (200 watt Renogy) really works well...

How does this damage happen to a trailer unit that is parked in the open for 6 months and under a shelter for another 6 months? It was exposed for 1 day between a winter and a summer site. RV shop wants me to claim insurance to have the membrane...
Last year, my husband noticed when he was cleaning the roof that there were some soft spots that he didn't notice the year before. He also noticed holes that had a black thing coming out of the hole that he thought looked like a mushroom. Now there are more holes and more bumps on the roof along...
Finally back to work on the 2002. When I finish repairing the roof trusses and one or two pieces of roof decking, I will need to put on a new roof membrane.
I am disgusted with EPDM. The white part has depolymerized into a gooey, sticky mess. In the worst parts, the white and black parts have...
My roof is leaking on my 2016 A215HW. The caulking has cracked at the far end, but I’m getting water dripping all along that seam, not just at the bad end, and I am looking for some recommendations. Should I strip off all the old caulking first? Go over it? This is seam for the kitchen dormer...
Ok so now the roof leaks on our new 33DS! We had a slight rain storm the pother night and thank God i had to check the motorhome for a tool I was looking for. If not this could have been a horrible problem as the next day it rained all day!
So looks like the roof is leaking around the winegard...
Hello all, I am new to the high low trailer bunch and my buddy and I each picked one up, is a 1990, and mine 1989. I have an aluminum roof and he had dry rot in his roof which was a rubber membrane. Is there a way to get a hold of the metal roof to retrofit his unit with the same aluminum roof I...
Hi,
I have a 2021 Rockwood A122s. When I was folding it down, I knocked the housing that holds the fuse, and while I cans crew it back in, it needs to be pushed in at a certain angle for the fuse to engage. It's almost like the metal housing needs replaced since it must not be making frequent...
Good afternoon, I have a 2006 Wildwood 28 BHSS, whatever that means. I believe it's time for a new roof and I was wondering if anyone knew what type of roof system it has on the exterior. Is it coated, is it strips of roofing material of some sort, or a one-piece solid membrane? Someone nearby...
I recently discovered a puddle on the floor of my Isata series 3. I was up on the roof today looking for possible leak points but evidently the previous owner must have had leaks as well. Every possible point of leakage was covered with “gobs” of some kind of caulk material. My question is there...
So I am still dealing with this issue. FR has been no help WHATSOEVER and the dealership is even worse. I attempted to buy progressive linear actuators from https://www.progressiveautomations.com/ and was told yes they do have progressive actuators for my camper BUT they can't sell them to me...
We now have a 2013 3010ds with 100,000 plus miles on it.
We have been looking for a newer unit with aprox 5000-15000 miles on it.
We have traveled over 3000 miles and looked at 9 units all 2018-2021 model year.
We have found all but one with the fiberglass roof panel bubbled either above the...
I have a 2018 Isata 3. When checking the roof today there were several areas where the fiberglass roof moves slightly up and down like it has delaminated. I think I read in the forum the roof was not laminated and this shouldn’t be a problem.
Our Columbus was delivered to a seasonal site in Jan 2022. Our first use was in June 2022. I had a gentleman who said I should seal my roof permanently with a compound which would add a "lifetime warranty" to the roof and would never have to bother resealing again. Having said that, in Jul...
I am trying to install solar panels on top of my new to me 2020 Wolf Pup and my stud finder is going berserk on the TPO roofing. I can guess that the studs are around the A/C and fans, but what is the distance between them? 16"?, 24"? and is it safe to assume that I can measure off the A/C...
