Winnebago Adventurer Roof issues

I'm certainly not trying to cover things up! In fact I'm posting diagrams of the maintenance required! You on the other hand seem to take what opportunity you have to bash. Show me the constructiveness or help offered by these:

Yet how many other motorhomes and travel trailers were on the road that same day, driving in those same conditions that didn't have their roof blow off. And thinking about this even more, have we ever seen a post on RV.Net about a roof blowing off on anything but a Winnebago. [emoticon] I'm not saying there hasn't been one, but I sure don't ever remember seeing one. It seems we do see these posts come up with Winnies about 3-4 times a year. Nope - not a design flaw at all, it was a "wind issue". Umm...OK. [emoticon]

Good luck with the insurance company - I think you're going to need it.

That is a 10 percent failure rate - nope, nothing wrong with that roof design. [emoticon]

If I were shopping this is would be pretty important information to help me make my decision. I know I wouldn't even think of buying something that required this level of "maintenance", not to mention what happens if you happen to miss a spot when doing this so-called maintenance.

Now where's Bumpy when we need him? [emoticon]

You are trying to make it sound as if you have to get out your caulking gun every 6 months to keep the roof on, which is simply not true (but then you haven't owned one). Inspecting a roof seal every 6 months is not unusual for any RV. Perhaps if they guy that lost the seal in his skylight on the one you fixed had inspected his seal instead of listening to you gripe from the chair, he wouldn't have had the water problem.
