Winnebago Adventurer Roof issues
Hi there! I'm hoping somebody out there has some insight for us on this topic: We have a 2005 Winnebago Adventurer 38J Over this past weekend (a very windy weekend, I might add!), we were traveling...

I bought an Itasca suncruiser 2005 this year; despite the nameplate difference it is similar to adventurer. The following applies to may Winnebago products, not just adventurer. On forums like this, I learned that the caulk seam between the roof cove and sidewalk is critical. It needs careful inspection every six months, not just looking at the caulk, but pushing on the fiberglass to see if it separates. If that caulk joint fails, the roof can come out of the channel and can come off...sounds like what happened to you.
Unfortunately, when the caulk failed, it is considered a mantenance issue. As such it may not be covered by insurance. had you been told on the first call that it was a manta fe issue unlikely to be covered, you'd have stopped driving it if at all possible. Instead you were led to believe you'd be covered. So, it seems like the insurance company misadviced and worsened the situation greatly. I hope they pay up on that basis. Good luck.
