Re: Should a rubber roof feel soft when walked on?
Well I've sent him your answers so hopefully he listens. I did as much research as I could on rubber roofs and told him that as far as I can tell, rubber roofs won't be firm like aluminum. Only problem I have with it is there was a mice infestation....mice droppings all around the lower cupboards and on top of the white water tank, but that's entirely a different topic.867Views0likes0CommentsRe: Should a rubber roof feel soft when walked on?

Personally, if it didn't leak, why would you possibly be thinking of opening it? Cause it's my overly cautious husband that is the one asking lol867Views0likes0CommentsShould a rubber roof feel soft when walked on?
I just plunked $6000 on a 2002 Franklin ranch 40' fifth wheel. Inside is mint, no water leakage. I know this because when we brought it home, it was not just raining, but pouring so hard my windshield wipers were just barely able to keep up with the deluge pouring from above. So all dry inside. I went up on the roof to inspect and repair any damages and discovered the roof, although not soft to the touch as in not spongy, was soft when I walked on it. It is a rubber roof. Thinking of opening part of it up from the inside. Any experiences with this would be greatly appreciated.4.4KViews0likes14CommentsRe: Better gas mileage
Starting to make sense. I've been doing some research and realize that the gas mileage really isn't what we should be factoring in here. It's only the two of us, maybe an occasional trip with our adult daughter, but we're planning on retiring in 6 years so we need to focus on how much room we need. I used to do a lot of camping with my young kids in a tent trailer, even lived for 6 months in a truck camper so I'm used to the organization that's needed in a small space. My husband, on the other hand, isn't so it's more trying to come to a compromise. We're only able to deal with an amount of $10,000 for a used class c, so that's why we're researching everything. I've done a lot of reading in the forums and finally bravely ventured forth to ask what is so obviously a newbie question. Thank you for your patience and willingness to lend your wisdom. It is very much appreciated!114Views0likes0CommentsBetter gas mileage
Looking at used class c's and just wondering if the length will affect the gas mileage. Looking at a few 24 ft and some 30 - 31 footers. My husband says he doesn't think it will, but I am thinking the extra weight would. Looking for all opinions, please and thank you.14KViews0likes51Comments
