Bill, I had the exact same MH other then it was a Ford. When I sold it the roof was still in good shape. What prompted you to do something to the roof?
John & Joey....
Our MH is now 19 years old but in exceptional like new condition. We give it the very best care. The roof is still in good shape but I feel it is reaching he end of its life. This new roof will out live the MH for sure but will extend the life for the near future. There are no leaks and I do not want a roof leak. Once a roof leak happens it renders the RV useless and repair costs are $$$$$ far exceeding the cost of repair.
We want to continue RV'ing for another 4 or 5 years and this will let the happen without worry about the roof. The motorhome is exposed to the hard Florida sun for 3 to 5 months each year and that causes wear to the roof.
So...that is some of my thoughts why we decided to get the new roof. Oh....also to buy a replacement RV would be $$40 to $50 thousand and for now this seemed to be the better alternative. The Georgie Boy motorhome is still running strong and we have learned to "love" her.
