Three Roofs in Two Years

📄 A CrappyRV Daily Drop · Wednesday, June 24, 2026 · Download the one-page PDF ↓

Three full roof replacements. Two years of ownership. Same family. Different rigs. Same problem.

Submission this week — viewer from Texas. Two-year-old rig. Roof delamination at the front cap. Manufacturer covered it under warranty — barely. They got a new roof. Six months later — same delamination.

She traded it in. New rig. Different brand. Inspected the new roof. Same factory shortcut. Sealant over a bad seam instead of a proper bond.

Look — every RV roof has a front-cap-to-roof seam. Every one. If the manufacturer skipped the fiberglass bonding step and just sealed the gap with caulk — your rig has a clock on it.

The bottom line

Inspect this seam before you buy. Run a fingernail along it. If you feel a step, the seam isn't bonded. Walk away. Submit your roof story at crappyrv.com slash allies.
