    A-Frame Roof got Heavy

    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...

    Open Roof Vent While Driving

    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.

    e-Pro roof construction

    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
