Roof came apart

Question

I have a 2016 Forest River Salem Hemisphere lite I purchased new in June of 2016. I have only gotten to use the unit 4 times in the 18 months that I have owned it. I was up on roof cleaning it one day and noticed that there was a gap along the seam were the roof and the wall meet. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. It was sent back to Forest River to be repaired, only to find out that there was a 1/4 inch gap that ran all the way down the whole side of the trailer.

Gap should have been caulked with self levelling sealant.  That is FR's baby, not yours.  I bet the underlayment is rotted and possibly the actual frame too.

Is it at Forest River now? Did they fix it and send it back? Did it happen again?

As I've said before, if cars were made like RV's we would laugh and not buy them. Good Luck.

Yes Forest river tried to fix it. Came back with big giant bubbles in the lament on roof.

Time to give it back to them. This may require legal intervention if they can't fix it like new.
