so is this roof glued down ??
And where it wraps over the side does it go OVER the side walls ?? I would assume so otherwise it COULD let water behind the wall

If you have white roof and side walls use Eternabond tape 4 inch wide on the roof to caps joint and 2 inch wide on the roof to side walls. And you will not have to worry about it for years to come.

It is essential to check the roof every six months? as Winnebago suggests. Loved thre Winnie, roof issues not so much.

How would you catch that I mean what are you looking for ??
And did insurance cover that ?? How old a unit was it ?
Was it in the outer radius or on the flat part and could you have fixed it yourself

There have been photos posted of a large area of roof being blown up while driving on Winnebagos.

this seems MUCH better and stronger then other RV roofs ive been on

You'll get many differing opinions on here regarding that. The biggest thing is to re-caulk the edge seam every couple years. Mine is 12 years old and just like new, always keep it clean and caulked.
