Newbie Here - 2018 Imagine 2600RB

[SaintJD]

Hello fellow GD owners. We are purchasing this trailer and thought we would reach out to all the experts. I've read a lot of great things about Grand Design and that is what made us decide upon it. Any common issues we should be aware of or things to look for? I don't know a lot about roofs, but I do know they are important. I didn't see any holes in the sealant or anything like that. It all looked good. But was wondering about the edges. It looks like there is something on the side that is starting to pull away. Is this normal?

Thanks!

James


Wow, the picture looks very different after uploading for some reason. It makes it look like the roof is pulling up, but actually, it curves under the outside part and the outside is a little pulled away.

First off, welcome to the forum. From the picture, I can't say much about your roof. But it can't hurt to seal everything up well with some lap sealant.

Hard to make out much detail, whether that's the edge of the roof, edge of the siding, or what it exactly is. But whatever it is, it isn't sealed. Best to check very carefully in that area. Is that the only area like that?

From what I have seen on a YouTube video, this seems to be where the top of the roof curves over the wall panel. The other piece is the gutter attached to it. Apparently not a big issue, but intend to run a bead of sealant to be safe.

Thanks!

This should be a better picture.

Ah, so the black thing is the gutter?
