CW told me that if I don't get up there once a year it voids the roof warranty. So, I have to clean it and treat it every year to maintain the ten year roof warranty. And, I have to document that with receipts etc.. Based on what the guy that gave us the walk-around was saying I have little to no confidence that the warranties will be honored without lots of fussing and fighting if I need it in a few years.
Nonsense... get that in writing from them about their requirements. Oh, by the way, the warranty is through the MANUFACTURER for that warranty, not Camping World. The MANUFACTURER would have to require yearly treatment and would have to provide a list of acceptable treatments.
And more nonsense, I am fairly certain that most RV's clearly state that you have to check it 3-4 times per year... not simply once per year. All you have to do is INSPECT it and MAINTAIN any deficiencies (failed caulking, hole in roof) to maintain your warranty.
And one other thing... I have never met a single person who has ever had the rubber roof fail. I have only heard of a single person on the internet (edatlanta on this forum) who has ever had the rubber roof fail. Everybody that has issues with leaking from the roof is from the poor quality caulk that is used. The caulk fails and allows water in. Your warranty with Alpha Systems (manufacturer) doesn't cover a shoddy caulk job.
