No go with the insurance. Talked with them this morning and explained. She said they don't cover this type of water damage and it is usually the result of a manufacturing defect or improper maintenance. She said mine is too new to need a roof overhaul. She also suggested contacting the mfg for warranty repair. Warranty is up!

I agree with them on the defective manufacturing. When I looked at this, it appeared to be a butt joint and has like a vinyl strip screwed down over the two pieces with rubber caulking around it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you splice two pieces of EPDM, don't you use a lap joint? One bonded over the other?


It's a fiberglass camper with urethane injected insulation in the walls. Roof appears to be the only thing with wood and fiberglass insulation.

Still moving back to the boonies tho. Looking for a decent tent now laugh
