Just received a letter about Eternabond tape needed to seal roof covers to protect the area from cracked or failed sealants. Serv. Camp # 6502. This does not make me feel good about the rest of the sealants. I purchased my unit on 3-25-15 and have only used it 2 weekends since (been in the shop for other issues ). I am almost sorry I got rid of the old Fleetwood.

Winnebago's "Customer Service" is NOT!

We've had ours since 2007 and have had a great run with it. Outstanding dealer and communication with Winnebago has been good. Talk with your dealer about the tape and see what's up. I guess I'd rather know there might be an issue then have them ignore it and it became a real issue out of warranty.

Tape over something instead of scraping or, digging out the bad sealant and replacing it with better or, newer quality sealant? To me, something's not right here. Before I'd tape over anything, I'd like to see and or, find out what's bad under it. Scott

Fire Up.My exact concern, what other sealants might be a bad batch or poor workmanship. These MH's have the roof attached with sealant also.
