Getting back to the roof video and the issues found. I'm on the road now so I've had reason to go on the roof to clean leaves and debris. Also I'm keeping an eye on the two rear corners that the caulk had begun to crack / open. GD says it's not covered by warranty because it was past 90 days before the dealer got to it. I had to wait 32 days for the drop off date GD customer service set up for me otherwise I was in. I paid for the repair.
I digress, While up there I was more aware of soft spots in the roof deck which I had noticed before. I went back to the brochure and web site and one of the "construction features" are 5" trusses 16" on center. I took my tape up with me next time to see. I have two areas unsupported 32" on center, one the very front sheet. Three more were 24" on center. At the ladder there is a truss 16" in from the back and the next place forward where I feel support is 48" with two deck sheets butted in between and no sign of support under the joint. I'm in Tennessee now and half tempted to go see RVRoof install while I'm here.Last edited by Wicked ace; 09-20-2019 at 03:46 PM.

I don't know how many people are happy. I do know that GD does not live up to their marketing hype as far as I have seen with my unit. In fact, I wouldn't consider another one after seeing the way the bedroom door, shower track caulking and slide carpet left the factory, let alone the myriad of other issues. We'll see if it's made right.

Things like this really have me wanting to build my own trailer from a custom-ordered gooseneck shell the next time around. I know that makes no sense at all (likely a time- and money-pit leading to divorce), but it's hard to get excited about buying any mass-produced RV at this point. Even Airstream is suffering from a lack of quality (based on reading their forum) due to increased production volumes and poor engineering of the newer units.

Our last camper was a Livin Lite Camplite. It was all aluminum,roof and all. The year after we bought ours Thor bought out Livin Lite. First year Thor did away with aluminum cabinets. and year after they did away with aluminum roofs and went T P O. Airtstream roofs went T P O also thanks to Thor . Airstream is no longer at all what it was. In the end there will be only 3 or 4 big players in the RV industries. Thor and Winnie are 2 of them. You think QC was bad before just wait. Like the commercial says, " BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE Will sell you this leaky roof today and throw in a free none working fridge if you order now" Salesman are standing by.

expect to pay about $300 per foot length of trailer, but a deposit is needed before they will put you on the schedule. currently scheduling
for after the first of the year.
My thought is that is probably a great job. But does it add extra value to your unit? Maybe depends on how long you expect to keep it.~Dean

To each their own. But if I can get a lifetime warranty and spend $5 grand less in the process, then that's what I'll do.
