What roof maintenance have you completed in the last two years? Any pictures of the roof or maintenance? RVing since 1978 and I have never seen an RV roof on the side of the road.

What do these items have to do with the RV’s roof? “had to replace tires, window seals all shrunk, leak in the front; heater was broke and had to replace the circuit board, leaf spring cracked and had to be replaced, now have a window leak)”

It shows a general lack of workmanship on every level, that's what! And is a good thing to inform others.

It doesn't fly off as in resting on the side of the hwy. As soon as its lifting up gets to the A/C unit its held up to that point. The roof comes off because of improper install of the adhesive before rolling out and compressing into place.

We have maintenanced the camper and actually just got done paying for an entire reseal two months ago, where the mechanic found that the moulding didn't feel particularly secure likely becuase of how they put these things together so he even added additional screws to secure further. The other items mentioned were all things that should not happen the third season with a brand new camper, it will catch up with these manufacturers eventually that they are putting these things together like garbage. I honestly wish that we would have looked harder to find a pre-2015 model in the floorplan we wanted becuase it seems since the camper boom beyond at that time they are made like garbage just to get more out the door, but with my husband being a professional auto mechanic for the past few years we wanted to buy something new that we could keep new for years to come, but i guess that isn't a reality with campers these days.
