Getting sick. Brand new, 1 month old and rubber roof is lifting on seams and in other random spots. I will try to post pics but not sure I will figure that out. My big concern is if this is normal. If it is a problem I want to put the dealer and Forest River on notice. Thanks a lot. Please advise.

It's common (but not good) to have looseness at the edge of the roof where it has to make a tight turn goign over the side. It's the same for small spots here and there. They shouldn't be any bigger than 2~3" in dia. I would watch the area's to make sure they don't grow. Can you post a pic?FWIW, I had the same problem with our previous new TT. I called several dealers of different brands and they all told me it was normal.In the 13 years we had it the bubbles didn't grow much or get any worse. Our present TT had to get a new roof immediatlely because of a goof the factory made installing a sky light instead of an AC opening. The replacment roof doesn't have a single bubble.So they can do it right if they want to.

Lifting seams are NOT normal. However, since the monthly checks are rolling in to Omaha from FR, don’t expect Charlie and Warren to be helpful.

I have been trying to figure out how to post pics well long story short, can’t figure it out, can someone help with that also.

The edges are good, the more middle of the roof and 2’ down from center is where it is really bad to me.

We’ve only been using 5th wheels for 25 years (4 different campers), and have “never” seen that! I think that it’s “piss-poor” quality control by Forest River....and they are avoiding fixing their shoddy work!

Well I’m sure glad I’m starting to see everyone is having the same roof and no long term issues, I’m going traveling and not thinking about what I can’t see, and thanks for all the help.

Now that’s the spirit!!!!!! :-)

Looks better than mine. I have several spots and it is rounding 13 years and they are still the same.

Every aspect of RV trailers are engineered towards cost savings because most people want to pay less. So why the surprise when things are not what you expect, but you are more than happy to screw the dealer or mfg. as much as possible. Then after owning the cheap rig, many become brand loyalists which does not help to improve the industry. Reminds of the auto industry decades ago when they produced junk until Japan introduce more reliable automobiles. Then Detroit started to produce better autos because of competition from Japan. Competition is what causes improvement.....

lakenox,

I had a '97 Chevy K1500 w/a 350ci motor. Engine developed a "ticking" sound which could be heard at idle. GM said that it was normal piston slap. WTH ???

Pbounds....that’s a big relief. There is a few spots in between the joints, but not bad.

Both of those spots look like they are along sheathing sheet edges. If those are representative, I don't think it is a problem nor will it get worse. Not pretty to look at, but that's about the limit of the issue.
