new to website trying to figure out posting a pic. the pre delivery was great. roof looked like a new one. my 5 year old trade looked like new. it wasn't till a month later when the roof looked like it was shrinking and becoming wavy only in the front. the good thing is the dealer the factory is recommending is only an hour away. the are a crossroad dealer but do not handle the elevation line. so maybe I will be treated ok. like you said they get paid for warranty work . thanks for all the input. any photo tips?

Sounds like it maybe catching air and pulling up as you drive. I have a friend with a brand new Fusion ToyHauler, that has had problem with rubber roof ballooning up as he drove it, bad thing is you can't see it when happening, once stopped hard to tell. His worked it way back to the first AC unit and actually torn on the AC shroud.
RV dealer replaced roof under warranty, after tear on the AC, although that took a little fighting/debating on what caused it, MFG first denied claim.
Couple months later after first fix, I was heading home and my friend came up and passed me on the highway, as I looked in mirror, I see his roof ballooning up, catching air again, as he traveled at highway speeds. It was pulling up a good foot or so.
He had to purchase a GO-Pro camera, video the roof in action, to prove to dealer and Mfg that there was still an issue, they at first said no issue, wrinkles were normal, blah, blah.......
Somehow, somewhere, air was coming through front cap into & under the rubber roof. His has a light in the middle of the front cap, I believe they resealed.
They think it was the top portion of front cap & seal around roof, he now has a lot of sealant, gobs, & gobs, and it seems to be holding down.
Stay on it and good luck! Don't take wrinkles are normal if they are changing and were not there to begin with, something incorrect may be going on there.
