    Henry’s tropical white roof treatment

    Anyone ever have this professionally painted on thier rv edpm roofs. I had one of the blistering dicor/Carlile membranes on ours. Wonder how it has held up. The reason I say professionally is because you have to clean it properly for it to adhere

    Our 2011 Georgetown roof leak(s) have perplexed me for the last time. I chased leaks from the ac gaskets to the awning rail screws, as well as the front and rear cap screws.

    Roof Top Air Conditioner

    I'm looking to purchase a Dometic Brisk II Air conditioner for my 2009 Rockwood Popup. From all accounts it appears to be the best option (feel free to contradict on this) My roof is a power lift system as opposed to hand crank. Will the system support a 72 lbs air conditioner on the roof ...

    Mystery roof part

    Just picked up a 2014 25DS and it has a part on the roof I am unsure about. I'm assuming its the leftover parts of a broken antenna but can anyone confirm? It's directly in front of the rear bedroom vent. Can someone share an actual pic of the roof with mystery part intact?
