kdotson Report post Posted January 22, 2019 We are looking at a 2008 Monaco Knight that we like a lot, except after looking at the roof, the fiberglass has three roof ripples. What would cause this and is it an issue? This may just be a deal killer, unfortunately. We have had a fiberglass roof on a Tiffin and never had an issue like this.

wildebill308 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 It does look like delamination to me. I can't tell if the plywood underneath is buckled or it has just pulled loose from the underlayment. I would also be concerned with the sealant job to the right by the awning. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Kdotson, did you walk on it and press down where it’s lifted? I’m curious if it felt like you were pressing down on plywood or just air? Hard to tell but the awning side repair looks suspicious from the photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what jleamont was asking is after it makes contact with the roof structure. Does the substructure feel mushy? It looks like a defiant bargaining point to me.

Bill Yep, we have already passed on a few. Shocking how many high end used motor homes have issues. I guess I’m picky, but surprised how they weren’t taken care of and maintained. We have only bought new in the past. New ones have their issues, too, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
