Thor Forums

[Richie]

Had the same issue with a 2005 Coachmen Aurora. Made the mistake of not inspecting the roof prior to taking delivery. Discovered it the first time I climbed up to clean the roof. I took pictures and showed them to a local RV repair facility who told me it was a common issue on all brands. Once the adhesive is applied to the roof there is a limited time to roll on the EPDM or TPO. Air can get trapped or wrinkles develop as the material is applied and many times it cannot be peeled back in time to reapply it. I lived with the wrinkles and bubbles for 18 years with no problems. It’s mostly a cosmetic problem.
I also applied Etrnabond at the front and rear caps and roof joints. Best mod I made before opting to downsize. This is my 4th M/H from 4 different manufacturers including Winnebago, Fleetwood, Coachmen, and now Thor and all had problems small and large.
I once asked a RV service tech if spending more on a coach would result in fewer problems and his response was “million dollar coaches have million dollar problems, be happy with what you have”.
