Thanks again Rob. Your inputs and knowledge are always very much appreciated. I called Grand Design and they said I have a TPO roof. They mentioned something about Alpha Sealant (which I haven't researched yet). They also sounded very surprised that I haven't sealed (resealed?) the roof yet. Truthfully, I didn't know that was expected of me. Do you have a sealant you like for a TPO roof? A mobile tech gave me a tube of Geocel 28100V Pro Flex Crystal Clear RV Flexible Sealant a few months back am not sure if it is compatible with my TPO roof. Research and being educated on this will continue. We fulltime in our rig and will be hitting the road again in about 4 weeks so I need to get a handle on this soon. Thanks again for your inputs and for dumbing it down for me. Very much appreciated.

Don’t use the Geocel on your roof. You can get Alpha products from Lippert https://store.lci1.com/alpha-systems. You want non-sag 1010 for vertical surfaces and and self-leveling 1020 for flat surfaces.
Yes GD expects owners to have the roof inspected and resealed if necessary. If you look in the warranty info your responsibilities for roof inspections are spelled out. My recommendation is if you are physically able to get on the roof and inspect it then do it frequently. If not physically able to get on the roof then have a dealer or mobile tech do it. The most common problem is self leveling sealer cracking but look at all the sealer and fix anything that looks questionable.2020 Reflection 337RLS

There are several brands and, as long as they're for TPO, I'm sure they're OK. I've always used Alpha Systems in the past because that's what I could get ahold of. Yes, owners are responsible inspecting and resealing the roof periodically (or paying to have someone do it). It's good insurance and can prevent thousands of dollars in damage from water incursion.
