    Just bought a 2017 27RLSS TT, really like it so far. All the Wildwood literature shows aluminum siding for this model, but mine is smooth fiberglass, I assume some kind of laminate. Does anyone know if maybe they switched to laminate in the 2017 model year? If so, what type of construction...

    I have discovered 3 hairline cracks on the roof of our A-frame. They go from the edge of the roof over to the fantastic fan, each crack about 6 inches long.

    Wrinkle in fiberglass roof

    My 2015 Georgetown XL 377ts is going into the shop for the fix of the wrinkled fiberglass roof. I am not real happy that the fix is to put full length radius caps on but I don't have a choice. One of the reasons I bought the Georgetown was for the one piece fiberglass roof. Now I will have some...

    Hi all, We went to look at a 2017 Salem Villa Estate 395RET today. We love the new floor plan and are going to order one this winter for spring delivery.

    How can I tell if I have a fiberglass roof?

    I have a 2014 Sunseeker 2860DS and it seems like a fiberglass roof and not a rubber roof. But a guy at the parts counter of an RV dealer said he thought it would be a rubber roof. They sell Sunseeker so it seems like he should know but it would not surprise me that he doesn't. :confused:
