Unfortunately the maintenance on the roof is mentioned in your owner's manual. It mentions that it needs to be inspected regularly to maintain the seal.
For this reason your insurance company can back out just like they would if you let the oil go low on your engine.
This was a known issue and I'm sure that it is not the first time that the insurance company has dealt with, and rejected, paying for repairs caused by lack of maintenance.
Naturally the insurance company will claim that any receptionist(you did not speak to an adjuster) is not authorized to tell you what you can or cannot do.
This is a Winnebago design fault and let the buyer beware because even if YOU, as an owner, perform maintenance checks on a regular basis, like many do, they still may deny any warranty issues unless you have written documentation that the service was performed according to their standards.
I agree. Who thinks that gluing down a roof is maintenance? "Hey everybody... you .... you retired person..... Climb up that ladder risking life and limb often and make sure our glue didn't fail".
Crazy.
Usually Winnie is very good about stuff. This one surprises me.
Ah, so maintenance should be limited to only what a retired person can do :)? I guess I shouldn't be expected to change my oil or check my brakes either because I have bad knees (which I don't) - or did it possibly mean that you should do it or have someone do it if you aren't capable.
