roof

Hi friends! Noticed today what appears to be a tear in my roof. 2022 bighorn traveler. I am wondering two things, A. Does anyone feel it’s the frame coming apart, I’ve read horror stories about that. But it just seems 2 new B. More likely I feel a limb that scraped the side, see it in 2 places...

Hi Heartland Community - my wife and I recently purchased a 2015 North Trail 26LRSS. Love the camper except for a nagging roof issue. The membrane material just above the bedroom fills with air and the resulting air bubble can be seen in the side view mirror while driving down the highway (65...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 29SLE. This is my second trailer. My first trailer had roof leaks and I would like to try to preserve the quality of this roof by getting ahead of any potential issues. Please feel free to offer any advice or share stories about this. Thanks. I was thinking...

Hey all, I hopped up on my roof the other day for the first time in awhile and found some gaps in the caulking. I've gathered I need to use Dicor's self-leveling sealant to re-caulk the seams. I've also noticed the roof itself appears pretty worn, and leaves a chalky white on my hands/knees...

Does anyone know the dimensions to the roofs on the slide outs - we have three slide outs. Thank you.

Well this happened on the trip home yesterday. We had bad bubbling in our roof near the front cap back during the first 6 months of owning our Heartland Sundance 3600qb and the dealer fixed it under warranty. We have been pretty good about dealing any cracks or holes we saw in the caulk since...

My 2011 Cyclone 3800 got a little too close a low hanging tree. As a result I have some repairs to do. Does anyone have a good resourse for repair methods and the best materials to use?

I was on my roof the other day and noticed bubbling and the roof was "loose" in areas. Examples attached. Is it time to start looking for roof replacement, or is this cosmetic? I have a 2014 Bighorn 3570RS.

Hello again, As some of you know Im still getting to know my "new to me" Landmark. I decided to get on the roof again and do some looking around. Outside of it needing some rubber rolled on it I noticed i need to get new vents, redue the dicor and probably just get some roof tape as another...

Purchased a new heartland wilderness 2019 two weeks ago. Decided to check all seals and found front cap and rubber roof was only about half sealed. I guess my question now is how worried should I be if dealer just seals roof back up? It has rained all week here in Boise, worried that water is...

Hey everyone, Do you know if I can walk on the roof of a 2011 edge M22? I am wanting to clean it, check sealants and seal the roof. Thanks in advance!

First, the current issue: We have a 2018 Bighorn Traveler 39FL we took finance delivery on in Feb 2018. We were told Friday the entire roof needs to be replaced due to two failed trusses. (there are visible sags both inside and outside) This should be covered under manufacturer warranty, the...

We live in Oregon and have rarely taken our 5th wheel to hot climates. Never for any extended periods of time. We store our rig next to our house. It's not covered, but don't really need to here in Tigard Oregon. We have had to have many roof features (around vents, air conditioner, TV Antenna...

2014 Heartland Landmark Key Largo Has anyone had roof bubbling issues? My roof, from one end to the other started bubbling about a year ago. At first, just a few small little bubbles here and there in the rear center area. I just assumed heat expansion where the roof was not well glued. Then...

Hi all, Newbie here and I need some help. I purchased this travel trailer slightly used at about 3 months old. It was titled in the RV dealers name and rented a couple of times. Purchased in November 2014. It still smelled new! I noticed water getting into the pass through on both sides. I kept...

hello, I am new to the RV world, but am strongly considering buying a 2017 427 Road Warrior. For a variety of reasons, this is one of the few coaches that makes sense for me and my 3 kids. Last week I took my kids to a local dealership, that had 7 of these units on the lot. It had rained...

Does anyone have pictures of roof damage from hail? We got hit last night here near San Antonio. I've found dents in the roof of my truck; somehow seems my hood escaped damage. We crawled around the roof the the RV and don't see any obvious dents or tears. But with the way some of the hits...

Hi I'm new to the forum and have been reviewing some very helpful articles which have given me the general idea on how fix my roof but I wanted to double check before I start. I have a 2013 Wilderness 2250bh. We had a hail storm about a month ago and I found that the front end cap seal was...

I pulled out the cord to plug in my fiver and charge the batteries tonight and discovered, to my dismay, that the cord was wet. Long story short, the trim on the edge of the roof along the back of the coach is lifting in both corners, an eighth-inch or so. I can push it back in place by hand...

We have 2 Kayaks (about 10 ft long) and I'm considering mounting them on the roof of our Fifth Wheel (2014 Gateway 3500RE). I plan on putting them near the rear of the roof, as it is lower. I'm thinking of mounting a couple of aluminum rails (1-1/2" sq tubing) horizontally across the roof...

I have a 2014 Sundance XLT. I noticed a small 3" tear on the rubber roof edging where the roof bends down toward the wall. I can see metal flashing underneath has made the tear. I am considering using roofing caulk to repair it myself. However, maybe I should take it in if it could become a...

Not by choice, we've spent the summer under a locust tree. My one slide would collect everything off that tree and I was stressed about the spotting, dirt and mildew. Read on RV.net about using Tilex for mold and mildew. Wow. Outstanding. One bottle only did three slides and around the...

I have an Elkridge 5th wheel. I want to replace the ceiling fan/light fixture in the main room with a Fan-tastic vent in order to get more ventilation, and to allow more natural light in. Situation: the roof air conditioner is located just a few feet aft of where the new penetration for the vent...

I have had two different Rv repair persons inspect my roof and both say that the black rubber membrane is starting to show through. I am the second owner so no warranty extends. It is a Dicor roof. Has anyone on the forum had this experience so far. My unit is only 2 yrs and 9mths old, Dicor...

Does anyone know how much weight the roof of a 3150 wilderness travel trailer will support? Need to put vent covers on and would be easier to put on RV cover if I can walk on roof.

We purchased a 2012 Bighorn Ti32 last fall :), love it except... This spring I discovered that the end of the deck panel just behind the bathroom skylight was no longer secured to the roof truss. It will move down a 1/4 inch or so before it makes contact with the truss. In line accross the...

The answer to this may be buried in another thread but I can't find it. I am fixing to go out and clean and treat my roof, wash and wax the rig and get ready to go to the first Oklahoma Chapter Rally. My question is can I walk on top of my slides? I want to clean them but do I need to do it...

Hi all, I just purchased a new M18 and had a dealer walk through yesterday The technician told us that we were fortunate to have a zero maintenance vinyl roof, instead of a rubber roof that has to have protectanct manually applied a couple of times per year. I did some research today and it...

:confused:Help my First post my Big Country 3355 has roof problems So ,I'm asking for some advice The roof plywood between toilet rm. and shower dome has seperated. But the Rubber roof is not damaged. My Insurance man said this is not covered, need a accident like Auto or tree fall. For...

Hi I have a 2009 trailer 1 year 2 months old. (Approx) the rear of the trailer 32qbss. And the top of the walls on the rear bunk (Not the side) are wet/ DAMP. Lots of rain in the last week, any thoughts on warranty or repair. Has any body run across that before. Any suggestions on Repair or...

Hello. I hope this is the proper place to ask this question. We have a 2011 Big Horn and there are a few nicks from some hail we were in. I'd like to caulk over those nicks. The guy who walked us through the rig told us there is a certain caulk to use, but I don't remember the type. Thanks

My 3950 is my first RV of any kind. After 3 months of ownership I noticed that the roof has dips and valleys running down its length. I'm not sure if this should be considered normal or if I need to have it looked at. There is no Heartland dealer anywhere near me so I don't want to make the...

Would like some opinions about where to store the roof top ladder from other Cyclone owners, it takes up allot of space in the garage. Mounted it only adds 6" to the width anyone leave it mounted? Thanks in advance for the help

:)Just finished installing the solar panels on the roof of the BC. Had to fight a increasing wind the day I was doing it resulting in a not perfectly straight install, but they are on! This is the 3rd 5th wheel, one of the panels has been on, as I take them off when I trade. Now we can shut off...

Hi! We're hoping to have our dealership install some solar panels on our trailer roof. They are a little uncertain about the whole procedure. Is there some place we can point them to (or can you supply them) with information on the location, composition (wood?) and size of the roof trusses...

How much snow is too much for the roof?

How does one tell what type of material the roof a camper is made of, I have a 2009 Sundance 3300SK. Do I have to seal my roof annually? I clean it annually with a roof and preservative type cleaner, is this enough to provide protection and give me a troble free (if possible) roof? Thanks for...

What are the recommended sealers for the roof? We have one of the rough surface ones. Which sealant is best to repair nicks where it appears the wood has de-laminated underneath?

Hello Everyone, I have a question about the roof on my Landmark Augusta. The roof is wavey between what seems to be the sheets of plywood. Is this normal? Other 5th wheels I have had have not been like this. It is not a problem just does not look right. If anyone has any insight on this I would...

I was on the roof yesterday and noticed a handful of U shaped staples coming loose - pushing up under the rubber roof material. Location was along the rear edge of the door-side slideout, by the ladder. Should I slit the rubber, hammer down the staples and reseal the roof, or schedule a drive...
