FYI to all of you....I looked at this unit this morning. The roof is the easy thing to seal, clean the old sealant and go over it with new ALPHA sealant.
Those saying you can do the entire job in an hour, have you ever scraped off cured silicone, cleaned the area, and reapplied? You can't do a 6 ft linear run in an hour.....
Doing it right takes time, and yes, all the listed areas have gaps and cracks.
We are still working with GD to get more labor hours covered.....Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

I'm actually working on downloading the pictures of all the issues as I type this.
And the tech corrected me, GD doesn't use silicone (at least on the Momentum line) it is urethane, which is twice as hard to remove, clean, and reapply.
There is a reason that all manufacturer's have a 6 month sealant warranty, and it is because they are rolling homes. Things move, twist, shift. Maintenance is key.
Yes, you hear about the guy with a 13 year old unit that "never needed anything sealed".....what he fails to tell you is that it is a seasonal and hasn't moved for 13 years.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

I agree. I wonder what the build date is as well. They may have only owned it for 8 months but when was it made
This amount of degradation I have never seen
Also my biggest issue is the 150 dollars an hour. That is a joke. Maybe for a top tech doing electrical or slide work but I am sure a guy being paid peanuts is tasked to fix this. I could be entirely wrong though

I'm not a fan of RV dealers...lots of good mobile techs out there though. To me it looks like a weld issue somewhere. That's just way too much movement. And of course the RV dealer should have seen that immediately.

The OP (owner) requested that we do a sealant check.
We documented and reported back, as requested.
Unit gets a full PDI inspection as required by GD to activate warranty.
PA also demands a PA Safety inspection yearly (as well as new) which looks at frame, wheels, tires, brakes, directional lights, etc.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com
