I peeled caulk back
Doesn't add up. The caulking has been peeled back and is very white and fresh. If it was virgin, it would look like the caulk on the other area next to it. Maybe I'm missing something. - Iraqvet05Explorer

Let me clarify, I removed the caulk. Me. I have had this camper in my possession for 2years. When we bought it had front damage and had been camped in maybe twice. Brand new camper. No one else has touched this camper. I removed caulk to put some eternabond on and came across this. No other screw hidden anywhere.
Then yes, someone was lazy and missed the flashing then covered it up. The guys that put the roof on my house also did that. Does it leak or are you replacing it for peace of mind? - pconroy328ExplorerThere's a youtube video, maybe several years old, that shows them assembling travel trailers. They're moving so fast, it causes me great angst.
Quantity over quality.
And I'm still thinking we want one of their Class C's. - azrvingExplorerDoesn't add up. The caulking has been peeled back and is very white and fresh. If it was virgin, it would look like the caulk on the other area next to it. Maybe I'm missing something.

I agree. The whole thing appears to have been tampered with since it first left the factory.
Yes, I see the screw is off the flashing. Is there also a screw missing? I'd think both of those were covered in caulk at one point and someone removed that caulk. The white caulk tells me someone pulled the caulking off otherwise it would be all brown like the caulking on my 2013.
Who ever, what ever, it is a pretty ugly "repair" job. :? - newman_fulltimeExplorer IIthere's no way that was like that from factory and did not leak
- path1Explorer"Jayco quality work at its best!"
Sorry to inform you, but Jayco doesn't own the market on that kind of work.
Look at bright side, you caught it and can fix right. - Iraqvet05ExplorerYes, I see the screw is off the flashing. Is there also a screw missing?
