Hello all, I am interested in purchasing a 2017 windjammer 3006wk locally. The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is the roof. I have walked many RV roofs and this one doesn’t have any supports directly in the seams of the plywood. As you walk near the seams you can see about a...
I have a Forest River A-Frame popup T12 DDST that is about 12 years old. We love it. But sometime between June and late August, the roof has become much more difficult to raise. It is a manual lift, i.e, no electric motors. Last year I added a roof rack bar that increased the weight but I...
Recently bought a 2021 backpack ss550 camper that has already had one roof actuator replaced under warranty. No longer under warranty so will be fixing/replacing. Is this something that needs to be done at a dealer or is it a pretty simple fix? Anyone used the "new improved" ones that claim...
I have a 2019 no boundaries, NOBO travel trailer, and I’d like to get another ladder to match the stock ladder I have. Can someone advise where I might be able to purchase identical ladder
Hello all, I'm looking into rebuilding the side panels on my 2015 hw27ks. It's got some water damage on the front left corner and will need to be repaired here soon. I've looked into some threads on here that talk about ordering new ones direct from FR. That's not an absolutley out of the...
Looking at applying Eternabond to any roof areas as needed on our new 2022 FR 178BHSK.
Just wondering if the roof can support an upright on-foot 160 lb adult or should the homo-sapien belly crawl on it if needed to reach roof equipment protrusions to seal up?
Some units akin to ours had a...

Hi all. Just joined the forum. We purchased a 2015 SS1200 3 days ago. (the 1995 Shadow Cruiser is on the block...we decided to get something made this century)

We purchased NEW with extended warranty a 2022 Forrest River Catalina Coachmen, it’s 30+ feet.
The biggest middle slide has been bowed since about 6-8 months after we purchased it we thought it was just cosmetic however we noticed the ceiling wallpaper started to bubble, rusty dripping from the...
Hey guys,
Recently looked at a 2011 Rockwood HW296 for sale in my area. It is actually in pretty decent shape but there is significant mold on the seal and canvas on the rear end of the unit. Both rear corners are especially bad where the canvas has taken some damage from the water incursion...
I’m removing the old solar panels making room for new Renogy panels. Is it safe to use Paint thinner on the vinyl roof to remove the adhesive used under each bracket?
New here and overwhelmed with searching old posts and watching youtube videos 'til I'm blue in the face! I recently bought a 2021 Flagstaff 25FKS and trying to sort many things. I want to redo the 2 shrinking wall/ roof seals and then do a complete roof cleaning before I detail the rest of the...
We have a 2022 23MK and would like more ventilation in the bedroom.
Has anyone added additional roof vents on any late model Cherokee TT ?
I am assuming the roof is Styrofoam sandwiched between two thin layers of plywood. How to add this without reducing the structural integrity of the roof...
Would it be safe to crack open the roof vent in a 22FBS while towing at highway speeds? By "crack" I mean less than an inch. It would be nice to let some of the hot air vent out.
Master Kill Switch - I have a factory master kill switch located on the exterior front panel, driver side. I have tried use this to "disconnect" the battery for parasite discharging. When turned to OFF all items continue to work. Unable to locate any documentation on the switch. Anyone...
Now we are into the Summer months it has become obvious that the 2 small bedroom windows in my recently purchased 2013 Georgetown 378XL will not give sufficient ventilation to keep things cool at night.
We mostly dry camp at CA state parks, running the A/C after 8:00pm is a non-starter so I...
How is the roof of the e-pros constructed? There is some sort of aluminum frame, but what is under the vinyl? Plywood? How thick?
The reason I'm wondering is if I'm going to install additional solar panels, can I screw to the plywood, or do I need to find framing members?
thanks
Anyone know of any roof brace kits available for FR or RW highwall popups? Been searching around online and can't find anything. My roof on my hw27ks has a bit of a sag when viewed from the front or rear. I've seen a thread about someone using a roof brace kit to fix this issue but I can't seem...

Can anyone ID the brand of roof vent in my 2020 Mini-Lite? The crank mechanism is stripped and I can't close it down to the locked position. I took the inner shroud off in hopes of seeing a brand label but there is none.
The interior of the crank handle and the protruding part it attaches to...
I just wanted to share something I had never seen before...and this is officially from Rockwood. They actually have and provide a document to help the customer mount solar panels on the thin lauan roof of their trailers. See attached.
Hey,
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, couldn't find anything through a search. We own a 2009 Rockwell Premier model #1910. We're thinking about adding a roof rack possibly for our bikes and or a small AC unit but not sure what, if any weight the roof can handle closed or open. We...
