Thank you for the heads-up.  There was no apparent leak a few weeks ago, but the R-Pod is in storage about a 30 minute drive from home so I am not checking on it daily.  It does have a proper cover over it, but I am not certain if the cover is completely waterproof.  The potential for water intrusion had crossed my mind given that we had a lot of rain in the past week.  Just to be sure I will go do a check on it tomorrow morning.]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2020 11:21:25 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138032#138032 Roof is Going Wavey : Has the roof lost its edge seal... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138030#138030 Author: offgrid

Has the roof lost its edge seal where it meets the wall?  If its not sealed there you have an urgent problem to keep water out. If its retain its seal then its more of a cosmetic issue, at least for now. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2020 10:21:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138030#138030 Roof is Going Wavey : Jay - thank you for the response.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138029#138029 Author: SMK

Jay - thank you for the response.  When I was doing some internet research on what might cause the issue it suggested a potential manufacturing defect, but I could not find anything specific to R-Pods. Replacement of the roof be a very significant piece of work.  I am glad to hear the manufacturer stepped up and addressed your delamination issue.]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2020 10:14:15 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138029#138029 Roof is Going Wavey : Yes but my issue was not on the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138023#138023 Author: JR

Yes but my issue was not on the roof it was located in a side wall of the slide out and the skin was bubbling out from the wall.  What caused my issue was a defect in manufacturing process, when the glue was sprayed on the skin in the assembling process they missed a spot.  Which caused the skin to delaminate.  Maybe they missed a larger spot on your roof.  Mine was covered under a warranty claim and the side wall to the slide out was replaced.  Hope you get your issue resolved to your satisfaction. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2020 07:11:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138023#138023 Roof is Going Wavey : The roof on our R-Pod is distorting... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14187&PID=138010#138010 Author: SMK

The roof on our R-Pod is distorting and has some very prominent "oil-canning".  You can really notice it along he bottom edge of he air conditioner. I have never been on the roof so this was not caused by body weight, nor has the R-Pod been in excessively hot weather.  The trailer is still under warranty so the dealer is looking into this.  They have not encountered this issue before and they have sent pictures to Forest River to help determine what he problem and the fix may be.  Has anyone encountered this before?
