    Dreaded Soft Spot on the Roof!

    My heart sank when I discovered a soft spot in the wood under my roof membrane. It's about 6" round, definitely indicates some rotten wood underneath, nothing in the coach yet. I've been diligent about caulking and see no indication of a hole or place where water could have intruded; no...

    Lap Sealant on the slide out roof

    Hello All, I am doing some resealing on the roof and slides. Noticed the slide outs used a silicone for sealant. Are there any issues using the lap sealant? I plan on using lap sealant than come back over with the Eternabond tape. Marc

    roof antennas 2003 Adventurer 33V

    I have the stub remains of two roof mounted antennas on my rig. I don't use a CB radio. There is a chrome automobile type antenna w/a spring base near the front that I expect is for the dash radio. What do you suppose the other two antennas are/were for? They appear to be factory installed.

    Check your roofs!

    Even though I did my spring roof check last month I decided that before our big trip to the beach tomorrow I should check again. As soon as I got up there I saw the hole granted it's very small but it was a gouge. If there were some signs of drag marks like from a branch I would understand. This...

    RV Roof seal

    Just crusing the internet and saw a fella who sealed his RV food with Henry's 887 Tropical Cool silicone 1-coat roof covering paint. His end result was dramatic and he noted the future maintenance would be minimal. Has anyone had any experience with this product? Seen at (YouTube...

    Curious if this has happened to anyone else on this forum?

    Roof edge concern

    Hey, was up washing the camper today and noticed what appears to be little points poking up under the lining of the roof edge. There are several spots along this side, didn't see any on the other side. I'm concerned these are going to wear through and cause a hole/leak. Recommend something over...

    Found myself a roof leak this weekend

    Purchased a 2022 Outback 291UBH a couple weeks ago and during delivery, I noticed a small section on the wall where there was some water coming in. Didn't look bad at all, at first... Salesman AND tech both said it was condensation, although I was pretty sure it wasn't that is what they...

    Hi all, I'll make this really simple - can anyone tell me what the roof on the 2021 1808fbs is made of? I want to add solar panels, and the make up of the roof could influence my choice of type of panel, where and how to attach panels. Thanks, Clem

    Automated Roof Issues

    Hi All It seems like the roof lift motor on my 2018 rockwood 2280 is skipping teeth and not sure what is causing the issue or how/if it can be adjusted. The roof goes up, but every so often, you will head a loudish bang. Any suggestions on this? Secondly, does anyone know where I can purchase...

    2018 2280ESP Roof bubble

    Hey folks, my 2018 is starting to show some age despite still looking great while living life under a cover 99.99% if the time when not used. I have no leaks, should I peruse fixing or let it be? It bugs me for sure to see it but I also feel that with no leaks, it might be best to be left alone?

    Roof Deck Weight Limit

    Hello everyone! I know about the GVWR and finding that out, but I am wondering how exactly I use that to calculate how much weight the roof can hold? I also understand it is designed to withstand the weight of the entire bus in case of a rollover, or at least that's what I read. Any help on...

    Minilite Roof Question

    Does anybody know if the Minilite has a fully trussed, partially trussed, or just laminated roof structure? I am concerned if there are no trusses as I just went through that with my since sold Winnebago ‘C’.

    Maxx Air Deluxe Installation Question

    Hi guys, On Saturday I replaced the cheap fart fan in the bathroom with A MaxxAir Deluxe fan. Assembly was straight forward and was not difficult. Removing the OEM vent, however, was a major pain. After I completed and tested everything I noticed that there is a little gap around the outside...

    Adding Winegard Connect 2.0

    My Coleman 2755 BH is prewired for adding an external 4G antennae. I found the plate on top of the roof but have not unsealed it yet. I assume when I expose that plate on the roof there will be 12V power and the cabling that goes to the switch inside? All I will need to do is drill holes...

    1999 Adventurer Roof sealing - painting?

    1999 Adventurer - bought a year ago. I don't have any leaks (that I see)... but wanting to do preventative (obviously) I jumped on the roof. I'm guessing I should re-seal this skylight? As the sealant looks like it's cracking? What about painting the roof? I noticed I have a solar panel -...

    Roof paint/coating

    I want to repaint my roof seal it whatever you want to call it. Of course replace all the caulking at the same time. What's the best product for the money. I looked at RV flex repair, it comes in a kit with all I would need. Any thoughts? My RV will be under roof for all of the winter.
