This sounds like the exact problem I am having with my '95 21' Towlite. The rolling inward as the weight of the roof causes it to slump. It has become much more pronounced this year. Did you take any photos I would like to see that before I open it up. I thought I had read here that the frame is wood in the Towlites - Sam's photos show a metal frame. Any advice or links would be appreciated. I am working my way thru the repair posts.

Towlites of the 90tys had wood frames, Classic models always had metal frames.
