What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

I did a roof inspection as its getting to fall. Last year I resealed and put snow roof on the rubber roof of our 2000 Jamboree. Happy to say it is in great shape. Last fall I found a small soft spot in the roof near the sky light in the shower. I was in a bit of a hurry last year and it was minor so just let it stay.
I have more time now and looked into it. I pulled the skylight inside and found that when the one piece roof was made there was a channel for a 1 X 1 1/2 steel tube to go thru. But because of the skylight it was left out. The soft spot was where some load on the spot had broken into the area of the missing steel tube. There was never a leak there.
After looking into it and finding I could just slide a piece of treated oak I made with a taper on the end into the area and the taper pushed the damaged area back up and give the area the support it need. I cleaned the skylight up and reinstalled. I had really thought I would have to do a roof repair but found that solved the problem.
The Snow roof looks like new and the roof is good for a few more years. I have a rubber roof on my garage thats been there for over 20 years. I have never had any problems and just keep it calked and use snow roof every 5 or 6 years or so. So the rubber roof on the motorhome is just more of the same for me.
