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...

Wow, on several levels.
We HAD a 2008 Itasca. Our roof seam was loosening, I re-caulked the bad parts, but notices that there were additional issues that might develop, Traded in last year. If the best fix is to put a 2" strip of Eternabond tape on this joint, wouldn't it pay Winnebago to do so? having just a 1/4" or so of the fiberglass inserted into the track and caulked in place does seem to be shall we say a less than well engineered design. This joint needs to withstand high winds, sun, rain heat and cold. It doesn't. Now wil the entire roof be left behind? Not very likely, but that fact that it can tear out, have pieces rip off, just really bad.
What really concerns me is the comments on Progressive here. In NJ we are looking at losing the carrier we have. Progressive seems to be the only company being quoted.
From other sources I've heard they are good. Their denial of this claim concerns me, but not having a written approval to move a damaged vehicle, talking to an unknown person on the phone and heading out is not the best way to proceed in a situation like this where additional damage is likely. Not saying I would have done anything differently.
