Check those roofs

Pulled into the BUCEE"s in Luling, Texas yesterday afternoon to fuel up. There was a fifth wheel with a woman and teenager on top Gorilla taping the roof down. Had paper deal tags and the owner said it was their first trip. The roof had ripped back 5 feet and pulled out from under the trim.
  • Rubber roofs rip real easy. When not careful a small tree branch can do a lot of damage. I always carried earthbound tape with me. I used it more then once. I have a fiberglass roof now and could not be happier.
  • Brand new. Keystone Hideout.Had it a few days and first time to travel with it. He said this was his 3rd RV.
  • In an emergency you have to do what you have to do.

    They probably did know what else to do.

    Gorilla tape really holds. :)
