Re: New roof or not.....
Thank you all for the feedback. I have Superflex non leveling caulk on the way and the Eternabond tape arrived yesterday (2"x50'), I thought about applying the tape to both sides of the trailer just to keep it even, I'm a symmetrical kind of guy. It is at the dealers currently to have an estimate for repairs just in case I want to make a claim, so I was unable to take a pic. The 2" tape would more than cover the damage and then caulk the edges is what was recommended by the roof manufacturer. (alpha) The dealer mentioned a new roof is likely but the final estimate has not come back yet. I am torn.(no pun intended) I personally would not want to buy a TT with a known roof problem/fix. Also, when I talked to my insurance guy he said that it should not affect my rates if I file a claim. Famous last words! If I trade in the trailer in a few years with Eternabond tape on the sides of the roof, will that effect the value of my trade? I am just trying to look at all the options here......... Again, this forum has been extremely helpful, thank you.446Views0likes0CommentsNew roof or not.....
I need some advice......Newbie here and on our second trip with our travel trailer I had a little run in with a tree next to a dump station. Long story short is it bent by gutter and damaged the side of my TPO roof. ( still sick about this.....) I have talked to several service centers in my area and I am getting mixed feedback. Some say replace the roof under an insurance claim b/c it is a new trailer. They said if it was an older trailer, just patch with dicor and tape. Others say just do the later and that I don't need a new roof. My question is about resale value if I fix myself. If I want to upgrade my trailer in 3-5 yrs or sell, won't a patchwork roof affect the price of my camper. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.2KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Newbie!!!!!
This is great, thank you all for the advice! I plan to do some practicing at a local school after I pick up the TT. cbshoestring, I don't want to be that guy! Ive already thought about that! There fore I am going to spend a good deal practicing. Drivers ed all over again! Heckofaguy, I have been searching youtube and forums on good DIY leveling kits. Camp-n-family, the sway is what Im worried about. I went with a centerline WDH. Thoughts? I really appreciate all the feedback and the advice and encouragement is making more excited about our purchase! Thanks352Views0likes0CommentsNewbie!!!!!
Hello all, I just purchased by first TT and will be picking it up in 2 weeks! I purchased a new 24' Passport Elite 238 ML. I did a quick search on the forum and didn't find any threads with that model, so that make me a little nervous! Anyways, I am super excited! I will be pulling it with a 2008 Toyota 4runner Limited with V8 and towing package. I am having a centerline stabilization system put on to help tow easier. Anyways, hope to learn a great deal of info from the forum and hope to create a bunch of great memories with the fam! Any wise words from all you veterans would be quite appreciated! Thanks5.1KViews0likes20Comments
