Travel lite rayzr fb

buyer beware. I bought a 2021 rayzr there were gaps in the caulking. It was advertised having a fiberglass roof and fully insulated. It has a rubber roof. There is no caulking or seal where they cut a hole in the wall for the ac to keep rain, bugs out of the wall space. The pan to catch the rain that blows in isn't wide enough.The screen will not keep bugs out and there is a 1" gap above the ac where they can come in and there is a hole in the wall of the ac cabinet where the power cord runs and they can go thru to get in the living quarters. Air from outside can get in too. If you have a rayzr look to see if you have holes between ac and refer compartment. If so you can get exhaust gasses when running on propane.The knee walls are not insulated and there is none behind the propane compartment.
  • please also clarify 'it was advertised'...was it on the spec sheet? Reason I ask is, I've seen some recent videos about shortages of the type of fiberglass used in the RV industry for end caps (not the type used on the walls)...'Josh the rv nerd' pointed to a unit on his lot, saying, 'because of the shortage, if you order this model it will in all likelihood come with flat ends rather than the curvy cap shown on this unit we got on our lot weeks ago'

    also, 'it was advertised' implies some sort of deception...was it expressly stated? or just implied, by some comment along the lines of 'the type of roof this has is the best in the industry'??
  • Seems like the dealer should have caught that unless they are all like that. RVs are like houses though. Almost all have something wrong, but you nope it isn’t anything major.

    bought sight unseen, off an dealer website or something?

    That's what it sounds like. I doubt the OP will be back to explain.

    I can't comment on the roof but the rest sounds like a job started but never finished. I wish people would be more forthcoming with info.

    Fiberglass cap with TPO roof is all I see listed, mis advertisment by a dealer? I wonder when someone joins forum to make a post like this,We cant fix it. Dealer or mfg contacted, ? Last resort? just a public service...


    It's a nice little unit. 30 years ago I would have been interested, actually thirty years ago I would have been able to fit in it.
