Landmark Roof

[John T Bettencourt]

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 like to know. Thanks for your help.

I have a Pinehurst and you can tell where the ribs are.

timdebs, Mine is bowed between where the ribs are. Comes up quite a bit.

newbie, You have the same unit.If you go up on your roof and walk on it is it wavy? I can feel it pushing down as I walk on it.

 

[newbie]

I can feel it push down (slightly) as I walk on it. It does have some wave to it (visually). I weigh 175lbs. It feels and looks good.

newbie, Thanks your is probably like mine. Its just that other campers I have had were not like that as I wash my roof often.

My dad has a class A Winnebago with a fiberglass roof that has no flex at all.

 

[John T Bettencourt]

Yes,A friend of mine has an Excell and that has a glass roof. Seems like a good idea.

On our 2010 Landmark I (275#) can walk on the roof and not feel any movement, it is very solid. roof looks smooth except for a small bubble near the peaks.

2010 augusta, Mine is nowhere near flat. It is like the sheets of plywood are to big and they bow in the middle. Seems like they expanded. Does not seem to change with weather conditions.

John, have you been in contact with Heartland service at all yet?? Might be a good place to start and send some pix to them.

[John T Bettencourt]

Bob&Patty, No I have not informed them about this. I did not know if this was normal or not. I have no leaks, just does not seem right. I am leaving for Florida and do not take the Landmark. I will return the end of March. I will see what it looks like then and go from there. Thanks John

 

[Bob&Patty]

John, I don't think I would wait. At least get the ball rolling now with some pix. Bob

 

[John T Bettencourt]

Bob&Patty, Thanks I will try to send customer serv. a couple of pictures. You have a 58 Chev? I have a 66 ss 396 Chevelle conv. and a 68 rs/ss 396 Camaro.

 

[Bob&Patty]

Chevelle's are cool..so are Camaro's. I really like the "NEW" 69 Camaro. I REALLY want to drive a new ZR1 just once. 2 times and I would be in jail. Somehow 638 HP would take me back to being 16 and no brains. I thought my 57 Olds super 88 2dr HT with a J2 motor was fast. Wish I had it back. OH well. Bob

2010augusta,
One of the features that helped us decide to get a 2010 instead of the 2009 model, was that the roof fabrication changed. Therefore, the wavy roofs may be 2009's or older.

Are there 2010 models experiencing this problem?

 

[newbie]

That makes sense. I was scratching my head after reading that some guys roof has no flex. Mine flexes under my weight when I walk around on it but still feels okay.

I also have no movement on our 2009 B/H -- and I weigh a bit more then Alan... But i'm older. I do have a few bubbles though.

Hi All, I am taking the advise that pictures are worth a thousand words. These are some pictures of the roof that is wavy on my Landmark Augusta. I have also forwarded these to Eric at Heartland customer serv.​
