2019 Cedar creek champagne roof

[Xflyhighx]

Getting sick. Brand new, 1 month old and rubber roof is lifting on seams and in other random spots. I will try to post pics but not sure I will figure that out. My big concern is if this is normal. If it is a problem I want to put the dealer and Forest River on notice. Thanks a lot. Please advise.

Ford guy, that’s exactly what I’m getting, but I’m told the membrane is only warrantied for ten years and not the glue. I have it documented with dealer and cedar creek,(Forest River). I guess this will be a waiting game. If it makes 5 years then it will be dealers problem when I trade.

I am on my 4th summer with mine, was up there the other day and NO bubbles... it was around 85 outside

This is the response I just got back from Cedar Creek.
below was the answer I got from the factory. Let me know if there is anything else you need. Have a great day!



"The pictures just show air under the rubber that is perfectly normal and shows that the rubber is air tight."

Could always re-do the roof a aftermarket roof coating you see advertised in TL. Probly $$ to do, but from what I've seen, no issues w/ roof after it's done.

i had this on my old trailer, and for all i know it could be happening on the new one too. Thing is the fix is to peel the rubber roof back re-glue it, and then re-caulk the entire entire roof, labor intensive, making it expensive. But, since it is a brand-new unit, I'd want this addressed as it could turn into a long-term issue. Good luck convincing the dealer/factory to get it done. let us know how this turns out.

my Redwood has a bunch of 3" or so bubbles that show up here and there... some days they are not there, other HOT days they are there until it cools a bit, then they go away..
Alpha roof, the dealer and the factory ALL say it is normal, they have ALL documented the issue in case i have issues going forward... They showed up during the first year.

Thanks dbir for the contact. Is this normal if it is a older roof. Just got off the phone with dealer and they are telling me this is normal. When it cools off, it will shrink back and get very tight. Does that seem normal or BS. Thanks

That’s what I’m very afraid of. I think tomm. I’m going to put everyone on notice with pics. The 38EL cedar creek champagne don’t give them away.

That's a little scary. Seems like the ones you see billowing while goind down the highway are often lifted there.
