Observed a Nasty Failed Roof Membrane
Was traveling south on Friday on US 19 pulling my boat. At the moment, I was in the little town of Chiefland (north central FL). In my mirror, I saw a rig coming that looked very strange. As it approached, I could tell the entire front half of the roof membrane was flopping in the wind. It was a 36ish foot late model 5er being towed by a blue (I think) F250 and had Ontario plates.
We came up to a light where I was going to say something, but the light changed and they sped on past me before I could get their attention. I thought I would catch up to them, but they were traveling significantly faster than I was willing to go at the moment.
Literally, the entire front half of the membrane, perhaps the only keeping it from peeling off was the AC unit. For several miles, I watched the thing flap all around, little piece by piece coming off and fluttering along the roadway.
I've seen the billowed up membranes right behind the front cap, but I've never see anything like this going down the road.
