Is a roof leak covered by warranty?

I just discovered that my 2022 Jayco travel trailer which I bought in February, 2023 has a roof leak. Would a roof leak be a covered warranty item or will they say that a leaking seal (if that's what it is) is a maintenance item?

Thanks, Stephen Gaines

  • Most RV maintenance info I have read, says check your roof seals once a year. You've only had the unit for 5 months. Don't let them tell you it is a maintenance issue. If they do, tell them they should have done the maintenance before you took delivery.

    Good luck!

  • Start with the dealer. If they won't fix it, contact your insurance company and submit a claim. Don't rely on what others tell you is going to happen because no one knows.
  • Its a 2023.... YOU purchased it NEW 5 months ago.... take it to the dealer and have them fixit... NO REASON they should deny that..
  • They will say it's a maintenace issue to try and weasel out of paying.

    If you haven't inspected the caulking, then they'll probably deny it since that a maintenance issue.
    If the roof membrane is bad, then the it should be covered by the membrane manufacturer's warranty.
