    roof connector

    I have a 2022 192. On the roof is a solar housing to allow for a panel connection. I have not examined it in detail but the connectors do not look like MC4 or anderson. I see the wire labeled behind the switch panel so likely the housing is not a wire gland. Is it just capped to protect the...

    Where to attach rooftop solar panels?

    I have read and viewed a lot of info on installing solar to the roofs of RVs, but I haven't found anyone yet who specified where/what they are screwing into on the roof. I haven't found anyone saying, "be sure screw to the aluminum rafters", which is what I would expect. Is that just so obvious...

Everything is in great condition and the original owner did disclose that he had tightened the left front roof latch too much and had pulled the screws. He repaired it and it's been fine. However, last year...

    Henry’s Tropi-Cool 100% Silicone Roof Coating

    Our roof is in pretty bad shape with surface cracking across the entire expanse of the membrane. We don’t see evidence of water getting inside the coach yet but it looks like just a matter of time. I am going to have all of the roof seams and penetrations resealed. There are obvious cracks...

    Walk on Roof (19XUD)

    Hey everyone, new to this RVing with our first Travel Trailer bought this winter. We got a 2017 Jay Feather 7 19XUD and I was wondering if the roof can hold the weight of a person.

    RV Armor Roof Sealant? 2003 Journey.

    Time to reseal the edges on my 03 Journey. My local RV shop will do it for about $2500-$3000 including removing all the old sealant and replacing it with OEM. I don't know if that price is in line with the industry or not. In my search I also found RV armor which will not only do the corners...

    Anyone stick CIGS panels to their roof yet?

    Just ordered three 200 watt panels from BougeRV and a 100/50 victron controller to go with them. Hopefully I measured right, the three panels should fit good on the 2506, two going across side to side front and back, and one going the long way on the drivers side by the air conditioner. Anyway...

    What is this on my Real Lite SS 1600 roof?

    I just purchased a used 2021 Real Lite SS 1600 that someone traded in at a dealership, so wasn't really able to get detailed info from the "owner". Wondering what this is on my roof (pic below). Thinking some kind of solar connection. If so, does that mean I already have a charge controller...

    Furrion Rooftop AC / Fan Speed

    I purchased a new 2023 Surveyor Legend. The rooftop AC has 2 speeds Hi / Lo, when the air is blowing it’s so loud that it’s hard to even have a decent conversation or yet alone hear the TV, radio etc within the TT. Would be nice to slow down the speed but I doubt there is an option for that...

    Good morning ladies & gents. I have been doing a lot of work on my Rockwood A122, I noticed that the torsion bars are not really sitting ontop of the frame at each corner, they appear to drop off the frame into a divet of some sort, and I don't know if that is the normal position. I'm...

    Sealant for roof seams and joints

    What does everyone recommend for caulking and resealing the seams on the roof of your rigs? Brand, type, etc. The roof itself looks good but he trim caulking looks a little sketchy. Someone told me not to use Flex Seal, that it will eat away on the roofing material. Anyone experience that? Thanks
