That's a good point but its a rubber roof paint ,not paint ,don't know if it will be a problem The can said it you can roll it over most any material . Problem should have read a little more on the caulk.

We installed the last rack and it made the roof really stable ,we are not saggars any more. Time to calk the roof at every seam. I plan on painting the roof next. The paint is a rubber type paint from ace hardware cost about $25 per gal.

Welcome  campingirl, Pop ups can be so much fun we have a 12 foot Jayco and a 25 foot camper but we use the pop up more cause its ez to pull and carry canoes on top. One thing when in bear contry you still gotta hang your food , in a tree we learned that the hard way. starman

Well It has worked out well ,the new supports pulled up the sagging roof and now we are done . The before photo shows how much sag we had on the inside ,with the new supports and only two in place it lifted the roof to have a crown in the center ,my son said it was fun to fix and he cant wait...

Hi , I have a tech data file from jayco that i can send you if you want on how to install a new tent .Email me and i will send it to you . It is to large to post on this  post . It said 2.5 hours for install but i bet thats for a guy that does it every day. I paid 868.00 for mine from the...

This is my new welding layout table I made last year ,Got all my favorite hammers and vices on it . The other one is the one with the canon on it . All built to out last me and provide me a chuckle from the grave to the lucky person at my estate sale that's gotta move it. HAHA

I don't think that would work with ALU due to the flexability  of the material . After making the racks for the Canoe I found a problem with the drilling in the top ,the wood is not able to hold its weight with bolts . So I used 1 1/2 square tubing from the inside and bolted it to the outside...

That's a good idea on the drain line I took off the cover to give it a good cleaning and there is a one inch hole that just lets it drain all over the roof . Bought a new canvas and there is no way I want that AC dripping on my new tent so I will make a drain line and run it off the side away...

Yes ,It's in sad shape , a total falure of the staples  in the rear area has caused this problem water pools in the rear area . but its so bad looking we can only make improvements from this point forward. Once I finish the racks for the top I plan on using all thread and  drill into the top...

Do any of you carry canoes on top of your pop ups? Would love to see photos . I have had a problem many of you have had with sagging roofs . I will post some photos of my design and hopefull fix as I repair my Jayco that you may follow. I started today welding  one of the racks and put the...

Got some photos of my child labor , he's the lightest one in the our posse so he did most of the cleaning of our top .and as you can see the 3 inch sag in our roof, and the canoe rack I welded up today , going to make 3 of these and bolt the roof to them .

Hi all you saggers,   I too am a sagger , my Jayco is sagging about 3 inch in the middle and I am right in the middle of rebuilding it . New to the form so is there a EZ way to post photos of  my fix. I have welded a canoe rack system for the top and this allowed me to fix the sagging roof to...
