roof

Does anybody know the weight limit for people on the roof? I go to a lot of Nascar races and watch them from my roof and was wanting to know. My gut feeling and common sense tells me that the ladder is inteeded for someone to access the roof for maintenance and is not for spectator viewing.

We scraped a tree with the edge of the rubber roof on our 5er at Fall Creek Falls State Park campground (it goes without saying, no more stays at that tight, overgrown campground). We have about a 3 inch vertical tear and some smaller cuts along the edge. Anyone repaired these before? Any...

I would like some good suggestions on how & with what to clean the "rubber roof " membrane. thanks

My husband and I want to travel north from our home on the north NJ shore. We are aware that the northern portion on the NJ State Parkway has stone bridges which do not provide adequate clearance for our Bighorn except in the center lane. We would like to know what other owners have in the way...

Lost a cover for what appears to be a plumbing vent on the roof. Have not been able to identify what type vent and where to get replacement:confused:. Will call Customer Service in morning. However, in the meantime can someone tell me what it is? Located on the roof of a 2006 Bighorn on...

What is the load restrictions or weight capacity of the roof ladder? I am about 6'1" in the morning. My wife says that I am overweight:eek:, but I disagree with her, I am just under tall!!:rolleyes: Any way I weigh in at just about 22.2 stone. Give or take half a stone. Is there anything...

I cleaned the roof the other day and while I was up there I noticed several large bubbles in the roofing membrane. Some small (coffee cup) some large (bread plate to dinner plate size.) Any Should I be concerned or not?:confused:

When it rains it sounds like someone is dropping ping pong balls on a hard plastic surface. In my previous TT(non Heartland) I could hear the rain but it was never loud enough to keep me awake. Now with the fiver when it rains it seems to be much louder that it needs to be and can literlly wake...

What material is the top layer in the roof below the rubber roof? Is it OSB or plywood and what is the thickness? My SOB had a SS rail mounted accross the back and partway up the sides. Great palce to throw the blue tank and a few other light items. I would like to do the same on my BC.

I want to know a source for replacement A/C vents. I would like about a 6" square or rectangle, not the factory round ones. I would also prefer that it could be closed or "aimed". I want to put a "down draft" vent in the bed room A/C unit so all the cold air is not being directed into the...

I have a 3055RL and love it, but I've noticed the top kitchen cupboard (the one that is perpendicular to the wall) is sagging about an inch. The roof is the same inside, but looks ok on the outside. Has anyone had this problem? Is there anything that can be done?

I would love to be able to go out in the summer, any thoughts on the link below? http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?D=901767&Ntt=901767&catalogId=10051&langId=-15&storeId=10051&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntx=mode+matchall&recN=112030&N=0&Ntk=P_PartNumber

I just purchased a new 09 3410 Bighorn and noticed the roof and one slide has some bubbles under the rubber roof. Is this something that will correct itself with time or should I take it back to the dealer?

I have traced a grey tank smell to an area under the kitchen cupboard where there is a valve in the pipe that goes to the roof. Can anyone tell me what this is and what might be wrong with it. The valve is round with slots in it and looks like there might be a spring in there.

I have decided to add a non-ducted 8300 or 9200 BTU Coleman Polar A/C with heat strip for our bedroom, and lo and behold my Motosat 5LNB Satellite dish is located 18" behind my fantastic fan cover on the roof. Anyone know the clearance required to install a low profile a/c like this. And if...

What is the load limit for the 3950 roof? I'm some what of a hefty fellow around 250 -260lbs. If I need to get on the roof, I'd like to be confident I don't end up crashing through... Thanks Ron

A qiuck question regarding the roof on our 09 Big Horn... My DW got up on the roof the other day to sweep it off:D - while she was up there she said there was a bunch of little air bubbles all over the roof:confused: my question is will these settle down or do i need to bring it in for...

I'm thinking of getting some of the roof vents covers that allow you to leave the vents open. Any suggestions on a brand? I'm a member of camping world and I noticed they have the Rambler brand pretty cheap.

If one wants to clean the roof to prevent the annoying black streaks and just to have it clean what is the approved product that we can use? I see people talking about just soap and water or spick and spam or not to do anything at all. Is there an approved product that heartland can tell me is...

has anyone added the covers to the roof vents on a 28bhs. if so are they much trouble to install.

I attend alot of Nascar Races and am wondering if there is a max amount of people that the roof can handle without falling in. We camp in the infield and plan on standing on it to watch the races. The dealer told me probably no more than 10 people, but he was trying to sell me on it. I don't...

Has anyone tried this product on their rubber roofs. It is suppose to do a good job of protecting the roof. Also has anyone used 303 on their roofs and if so how is it doing?

could someone tell me what products and proper procedure of cleaning our roof? Thanks Jim Thomas :confused:

I have poked two small holes in my roof. What is the best way to patch them?

I have noticed over the past month, that our roof in two places has started to sag,because we park our unit beside the house I can easily see the whole roof,from our bedroom, I just read another persons,note on the forum with the same problem, with his Cyclone, so I thought I would mention it...

:)Pulled the Big Horn out of the shed today and started the spring clean up, with the roof first. :eek:My roof looks like a bowed and warped board. It has weak spots and bows and you can see each seam where the panels were butted against each other. It's like the panels were put up there but not...

I was just up on my roof watching the shuttle launch and was surprised at the amount of sag between roof rafters. In one place along the wall I would expect zero sag because I would expect the roofing to be supported by the wall and would think this is the strongest part of the roof. Instead...

Alpha recommends the use of Top Job, Spic-N-Span, or Ajax Cleanser for cleaning the EDPM roof. Would you believe it??? None of these products are sold in Canada! Any suggestions?

We just bought a 2006 Big Horn 3055RL, it is being detailed this weekend. Amongst the other detailing procedures, we are having the rubber roof sealed. My question is, how often do you need to have the roof sealed. We had a Winnebago Motor Home before, with a fiberglass roof, so this is our...

OK, another of my questions for the dealer later this week is about the roof. This is the first unit I've owned with a rubber roof - the previous ones all had aluminum - and I'm not too sure what to expect. If this is normal for the EPDM membrane, OK, if not then what? I guess I'm a little...

I have one of those steel car ports that I park my "07 3795 under for protection from the elements. Recently I added some side skirting to protect from the sun. At the same time I added skirting in the rear which uses a 3"x3" steel bar as a horizontal stabilizer across the back where the roof...

Below and attached is detail on our new laminated roof system for Landmark and Bighorn. Jim

Can anybody tell me about the new roof concept Heartland is using on the Landmarks. No more Trusses? Vacuum sealed? Can the factory post pictures of the cross section?

Got up and gave the rubber roof a good cleaning with Spic 'n Span. Lots of dark spots remain. Anyone have a good method of cleaning these so it looks close to new again?

I am new to this RV stuff. I like! Could any of you RVing pros give me some advice on rubber roof maintenance, Please. It is greatly appreciated. p.s. I have found a lot of good tips on these forums, thanks a lot!

Does anyone know how much weight the roof on a Cyclone 3912 can support? I've never felt comfortable walking on a roof because I weigh about 250 pounds. However, I would like to cover my vehicle this winter and being able to walk up there would make it a lot easier to put on and remove...

the roof on our 2008 cyclone needs cleaning, we have rust stains from the air unit, does anyone have any tips on getting the roof back to the original white color without hurting the rubber roof...

We bought a new Bighorn 3370 in June, during the PDI I noticed the rubber roof had way too many bubbles in it, a few and I would let it slide. First thing the dealer tells me is "they are all that way". I said the 10 year old one I sold had not one bubble in it. My question is are all the rubber...

I am looking at buying the 21RBS OR the 24RL 5th Wheel. I watched a video that I think was called a "dealer training video" about the construction of the North Trail trailers. It was very informative but clearly showed wood crowned roof construction. The dealer tells me it is all aluminum...

I have a 2009 3612 purchased in March 2008. We have been out 15 times so far this searson and love the unit. Last Friday I hit a low hanging branch (3 inch diameter) dragging it from front to back of the roof. Along the way it tore a long line in the roof liner, tore off a Maxair vent cover...
