roof

When I winterized our popup last fall everything was in good shape, and with our oldest graduating this past spring, it wasn't until June when I went to the storage facility to get the camper. I immediately noticed brown streaks going down one side of the camper. Long story short, water leaked...

Hello All, We're in a 25' 2020 Flying Cloud fbt and we are on the road far from home and after three days we notice a black wire on the roof that seems out of place. I don't have a ladder but standing on the sturdy picnic table the wire seems to run from under a solar panel on right rear to a...

Greetings, been years since I've posted here and the wife and I still marvel at our year long travel pics around N America. Now we're anchored in a great RV park, in a 94 Prowler park model in VG condition, it's waterfront and she had to have the view. She got the view, I got the maintenance and...

We have a 2022 382flrb that we bought new. Im out of warranty and the roof has plywood seams coming loose. First it started with the edge on each side, total length. It's raised and you can feel the piece underneath is loose. Now the plywood seams are starting to come loose all over. No soft...

I am surprised that the roof on this coach doesn't have rain gutters, just a raised section along the edge on each side. I want to install some kind of rain gutter, especially along the front. The water pours down the front all over the windshield. Has anyone added anything to their units, and...

Asking for advice on replacing a roof on our Winnebago Vista LX 2017 35F. Long story. Started with a cracked skylight which had an immediate temp fix to prevent leaks and then was quickly replaced entirely at an authorized dealer. No evidence of leak inside or on the roof. Shortly after the...

Hello, I own a 2014 Jayce Jay Flight 24fbs. I need to replace the bathroom outside skylight but do not know what size to order. Could you please give me some advice on the size to order and where to order the part from. Thanks!

I was on the roof yesterday replacing a MaxxAir 10A20281K-1AF Roof Vent Lid Lifting Gear Operator (suggest carrying a spare!), when I noticed the following item was deteriorated and needs to be replaced. I assume it is some type of vent cap, but it doesn't look like the others I've seen for the...

Is this an issue? Brought new rig home 3 weeks ago and it’s been parked since. I climbed on roof and saw this. See pic. It’s next to sky light in bathroom. It has an edge to it when I rub my finger over it. I’m curious if it was a random piece of garbage that was not cleaned off before roof was...

Hello all! Our rig is a 2024 with the new fiberglass roof sheeting. So far it has seemed to be pretty good. But I have noticed that the roof appears wavy'er than it was when we bought it like the plywood is buldging up and down in a few spots. It's not horrible but when I lay a level across...

Noticed small gap forming between roof and gutter, see circled area. Looks like the old sealant is separating. What should I use to seal this back up? I have roof self leveling sealant but wondering if that would run down into gutter? Or should I use a standard outdoor caulk?

Mornin all. 2017 keystone passport elite 23rb. Look for opinions on best practice goin foward. Need to reseal all an wondering if i should use a rubberized roofing coating afterwards. Material is in pretty good shape no rips or anything. Live in IL. Not covered. But no trees or anything over it...

I have 2 Fantastic Fan covers that I will be replacing. The one side of the hinge sits basically flat on the roof and is screwed down with sealant over the screws and hinge flange. Fiver is18 years old I'm not sure as to what sealant I will use. A self leveling Dicor product or a RV silicone...

Looking for the correct terminology of the weather stripping thats on the side just below the roof, front to rear. It’s black and it appears to have buckled in multiple spots and pulling out. Looks kind of thick not just a flat band weather strip. Any help would be appreciated. I know its going...

First off, it's not a deck. Just a catwalk for accessing panels and lights, and maybe a platform for storage containers. I had originally purchased a 2K poly to finish these with, but it sat too long and has gone bad. Considering how quick and easy it was to cut and drill these (just redwood...

Hello all, It has been a while since I’ve posted. I picked up a ‘25 Shamrock 233S in August. So far so good with it. My wife and I are planning on adding two additional solar panels to the roof but we can’t seem to find a definitive answer if the roof is in fact walkable. Have any of you...

I may be purchasing a keystone Springdale 295bh travel trailer. Can I walk on the roof? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I bought a 2005 FWC Eagle last spring with the goal of fixing it up in mind, but I've had so much fun using it since then that I haven't really got around to working on it until now. The first thing I want to tackle is repainting/resealing the roof, as it seems like there are a...

I have been an Airstream owner for the past 16 years and am very close to moving into a Renegade Verona product. I would be interested in hearing Verona Owners (or Explorer for that matter) opinions on my purchase arguments: I am already sold on the Renegade product and the quality of the...

Hi I have a 2168ds Forrest river forrester classic. I’m wondering what kind of cleaner protectant to use on my roof. Thank you for any reply’s.

I went on a month-long trip that included a bunch of rain. No leaks on my roof. Yesterday I popped the top for the first time in several months that included rain and when lifting the roof I saw the drivers side front lift panel was wet with a bit of mold. The mattress was wet and when I...

I am down with a bad back so I am having my RV guys do some caulking maintenance for me. Their suggestion is that each screw head along the metal strip (on the right side of the photo) should have a daub of caulking to protect against water intrusion. I am not sure I agree with them. I mean...

Jordan Madrid is now telling me that he doesn't think he can install a solar panel over the refrigerator vent because it is too tall. He's wondering if there is a lower profile one available. My thought is that he should just use longer legs for the solar panel. So, IS there a lower profile...

My wife and brought this 1995 Class C back to life a couple of years ago. It only had 60k on the engine. We inherited it with a roof leak on the cab overhang part of the roof. We coated the roof a few times and used some roof tape in a few spots. We replaced some of the interior walls due to...

I am new to rvs and had a small incident putting a small hole in the roof puncturing the plywood. We got some rain coming Thursday and am wondering the best ways to repair this the right way.
