Roof Deck
Got up on the roof the other day to due my yearly cleaning. Bad news was walking around the back A/C and just forward of the it I found that the deck under the membrane was soft. Almost fell through. So, went inside and saw that it was leaking on the celling first time I have seen anything like that. So I called around for a complete roof and was glad I was sitting down. RV Roof Repair in GA want 10 K to redue the whole roof. Have called Grand Design about it and they want me to go through my dealer because I think it has been leaking since day one. I have a 2016 303 RLS and been doing the roof every year. The bad part is that there is no lap sealant to leak around the A/C.

It’s normal to not have lap sealant on the AC units. There a foam seal between the AC and the roof. The AC has I believe 4 screws on the inside of the AC unit that pulls the unit towards the roof and seals it off from rain. Most don’t ever check them to see if they are still tight and over time and a leak can develop.

If your roof is leaking near the Air Conditioner, you don't need a whole roof replacement, just a repair of the area. The good news is your Insurance company should cover the costs, less your deductible.
Keep us informed about how this plays out.David and Peggy

Beware Grand Design doesn’t terminate their Cut outs for AC and roof vents correctly
This was mine, instead of cutting an X pattern and folding inside the roof, it was cut in a box formation around the perimeter. Then stapled on the perimeter on top, once the staples rust that are exposed outside the gasket the water seeps between osb and tpo rotting the roof slowly with the AC own condensation.

I've visited RV Roof Repair in GA. I don't think you could go wrong using them. The gentleman who owns it is very diligent and I think very trustworthy. But it isn't cheap. Ya kind of get what you pay for these days. I didn't have my roof done - just was in the area, liked what I saw on YouTube and was curious.
If GD said go to your dealer, it may have been leaking since day one, is GD going to cover the repair cost?
And as someone here said, you likely just need one are fixed. While I am not sure you can do that without replacing the entire TPO covering, it might be a less expensive way to go.Larry KE4DMG

Just an update about my roof. I going to go with a sprayed on new roof by RVRoof.com (FlexArmor) in Tenn. not cheap but will have a Lifetime Warranty. Also its a transferable if I ever sell my RV. I never heard back from my dealer or Grand design about being a about if it was a Mfg problem or not. Cant wait till my whole roof rots out waiting to hear from either place, so going to bite the bullet and have it done. Thanks for all the help about this problem. Will still be on the site when I can. Happy Camping and all be safe out there .....
