Patching siding or replace
This winter during an ice storm I had a tree come down on my ‘18 Prime Time Crusader. It tore the roof and punctured the siding with a hole about the size of my fist. There’s also some small cracks on the slide out siding and main camper siding. Insurance is wanting to have a body shop patch it. My fear is that if it was hit that hard that it might have caused structure damage to the camper that may lead to future delamination or leaks or future cracking that they don’t catch. I’d prefer to have the side replaced. Sold my last camper due to delamination and I didn’t like looking at it, was kinda embarrassing. Am I right to have concerns or am I being unreasonable and the patch is a totally acceptable fix? If this was an old camper I’d patch it and hope for the best. But being that I bought it new in late ‘19 and it’s never been out in the weather since I got it and it’s still like new I’d rather keep it that way.1.6KViews0likes4CommentsCrossroads Zinger quality
Looking at travel trailers with a 2nd bedroom and preferably 1.5 baths. We looked at a 2020 Crossroads Zinger 333DB today and the wife loved it. My concern is that I've never heard of them and I question the quality. A quick internet search brings up bad reviews but searching any camper manufacturer does the same. Should I steer clear or are they of good quality?3.5KViews0likes7CommentsRoof questions
I purchased my first 5th wheel this past fall. I found this spring, before I've even had the chance to use it, that I had a leak on the roof and some water damage. I'm planning on replacing the entire rubber roof and repairing the soft spot. My question is I see 40 and 60 mil edpm. Sounds like industry standard is 40 mil from what I've read. Any reason to use the 60 or will the 40 be fine?974Views0likes3Comments
