I'm convinced there are many new RVs coming right off the line with roof issues from the get go and the owner won't know it for years. I have seen multiple RVs going down the roof with a big air bubble under the roof membrane and how long will it be before the owner knows it and/or it does damage to the roof.
Also, the air conditioning hold down bolts are a huge source of leaks. So depending on the interior ceiling panel type and insulation, it could never show-up inside. Meanwhile the roof decking is rotting.
Any RV is a **** shoot regardless of price. Due diligence is required in maintaining them.
So just because its new certainly is no guarantee. Only good thing is the warranty but then good luck getting it in for warranty service.
I'm like JTrac…..committed to keeping ours. Its well built, I just installed the RV Flex Armor RV and I know the rig inside/out.
