Bob, hasn't the same roof issue shown up on some 2013's? The roof issue is a very major structural problem and it would be a concern to any buyer of a new or used unit. I do realize that these issues can take to show up, but are there any assurances that this issue is a thing of the past? Reading that some have had their roofs replaced two, three, and more times is not very comforting that the issue has been resolved.

Ed, I was referring to the roof radius rails and the most recent year model I know of with the problem was a 2012, and that's because it was being repaired at the same time mine was. It is my understanding that Tiffin introduced what is supposed to be the final fix sometime in 2011. So theoretical some late 2012's and later years should be okay.
Now if you're referring to cracks in the actual roof itself, I have seen some posts reporting that issue. The oldest coach was a 2007 owned by an acquaintance of mine and the last I heard Tiffin was going to replace his roof. Same thing for some one with a 2008. I don't recall off the top of my head reading anything about this problem on recent year coaches, but quite honestly I haven't payed too much attention because it doesn't effect my year coach.
Is Tiffin completely out of the woods with the roof issues, I certainly think/hope so, but I guess time will tell.
Bob, like you I hope the roof issues are a thing of the past for Tiffin. It helps the consumer when there are strong companies competing for our business.
