Well I finally had it done! I'm pretty pleased with the result, but of course I always feel I pay a little better attention to the details on my own things than others do. However, I'm pretty happy! And if you recall from another post about pricing, no, I didn't JUST shop for price ๐
I did, however decide to opt for the rubber roof again rather than metal. A number of things helped make that decision for me. I also had them leave off the luggage rack, but kept the ladder. I've never really used the roof rack on any RV I've owned. It's too difficult for me alone to put stuff up and down from it.
Here is the roof:
And here is the new Maxxiar vent cover:
and Finally, here is the new Fantastic Fan:
I still have some details I want to "improve" on with the sealing on the roof, as I don't feel they did quite a neat enough job and it looks kinda thin in spots around the flanges on the vents. They would have redone them there as it was just completed when I picked it up, but I wanted to get it home back up the mountain before dark. I was also a bit concerned that I could see what looked like the seams of the roof panels but then found that under the rubber roofing there is a strip of something used to soften the joints where the wood meets to avoid any sharp corners (need to call and ask what they used.) The roof has a 15 year warranty. I didn't get the best and I didn't get the cheapest, but considering my camper is a 1995, with the new roof, all the electrical upgrades, vents, etc., etc., etc. I've done to it during the last 2 years, I've already spent way more than the cost of the camper!
Getting ready to leave on my trip next week! Yay!
