I have a 2015 RP178 Hood River Edition. We took out the pod for the Memorial day weekend and I noticed most of the edge trim is cracking or split from our intense Arizona sun.

Now for my question. Anyone know of a source for the edge trim along the roof? I was looking on amazon and it looks like Camco makes vinyl trim but it was either in 1 inch or 3/4 inch width. That seems too big to me. I took my Pod to the storage lot already so I can't measure. But I was thinking more on the 1/2 inch to maybe 5/8 inch.

Anyone know exactly what to order?

Any help is appreciated.

The strip is 1 inch wide. When you replace the strip pull out a few screws at the bottom of the channel, if they are rusty you have a water problem.

Hmmm.... I would have never guessed 1 inch. Maybe because of the curve it looks less.

Anyway. Now my next question. I assume to replace it I just start on one end and feed the trim through the channel? Or is there another method?

Do it on a warm day, you have to pinch it to get it in.
