For the expense the motor home is it is nice that someone does the repairs needed still. That is not a skillset many want to learn. Words are hard for Chad on thursdays, lol they are hard an many days for me. The roof looked awesome like they always do. I think the reasons I continue to like watching them is your personalities, also the craftsmanship and seeing the mess turned into a lovely white roof, new paint line again like new. You guys do great work. I hope you all stay safe and healthy.

Dude I'm so glad you're teaching younger guys the right way I pray they do the same !

It’s funny how many “Experts” say how well made Winnebagos are. And how they are the industry standard for quality made motorhomes. Then I watch your videos and see how they are actually done and hear how you explain how the roofs are done so poorly. Seems to me the rest of the coach could be top of the line. But if the roof is junk, everything below it will be junk within a few years! I trust your explanation and visual proof over what the so called “Experts” say! Well done James!

Another excellent repair job! Love the channel, looking forward to the next video.

As always nice roof work. You guys make it look so easy.

These roof replacements are NOT for the faint of heart. Certainly not a DYI. Great job!!!

awesome to see pros at work ... and to see all the work it takes ....

Your vids are full of information - great work and thanks for sharing!

Looks really good and a tremendous amount of work and skill

Yet another fine job by James and his partner Chad. Great video guys yes James tell Chad he's becoming famous also. 😅

Great job again James. Appreciate the content. Hard work up there. You guys do great. Happy we have our Wanderlodge. Thanks again.

Haven’t seen any of your videos for a while. It’s nice to see you are still working hard at it. I enjoy watching your videos and you still make it look easy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Wow! Great job, again. I'm never disappointed with your videos.

Another great video James, Those roof jobs are a lot of work, You guys do great work and service for a lot of folks., Thanks.

Another great job James 👍

Most excellent work again. A true better than new roof!!

This is awesome to watch, thanks for sharing.

I can hardly wait to replace my FRP wading pool/ice rink flat roof on my '85 Southwind mh, that has great drainage into the ceiling and walls ha ha, (had to gut all interior to the foam). I'm thinking I should slightly build up and convex the deck and roll over the side coping metal and add a termination strip on the sides. I don't know if anyone has done this, this video gave me the idea although FILON seams so expensive. I'm doing this project in my backyard, it's tough I just turned 70 but I can't quit now haha! Love all your videos! Michael

Owner must be proud of your and Chad’s great job!

Chad has come a long way since the first video I saw him in! Very nice roof repair! Hope I never have to pay for one! Thanks James. Kevin

Good thing you guys are experts doing this.

You guys rock ! Just spoke to Richard at Cassone's about getting my 2006 Mandalay Presidio roof replaced and after watching the video I can see what a job it is ! Had no idea the "end caps" had to be be lifted up/off just to start the job ! 20:23 : Excellent idea with the tile saw to make that exact cut ! Liked / Subscribed

Wow! Big big job.

Thanks for another great video James

James that is a nice finished job.

I'll say it James. You do very nice work. You don't cut corners like I've seen other's do. Many are just concerned with getting it done as quick as possible if if they mickey mouse it. Sometimes you want to save some bucks and cutting a corner may not matter much but a roof is not one of them. It really stinks to see the manufacturers being the worst culprits of not caring and doing shoddy work. Sometimes it seems that they have no idea how water flows and think enough caulk will take care of it.

Amazing what you can do.

You do such good work.

Love your good jobs you guys do!! I've got delamination to repair someday

Great Job !! That roof looks better than New!! A buddy of mine is in the RV repair business and I told him about your Channel about 8 months ago and he regularly uses your video's to show his employee how the job needs to be done and the tips you give ! I Tell you he really appreciates your video's !! His name is Steve Norris Vibes RV repair

GREAT time to run some new wires for LED lighting etc. Great vid

You are my new ultra-favorite KZfaqr. THANK YOU for sharing your awesome expertise!!!! We're bout to tear off the front and rear caps on a newly-obtained 2005 Winnebago Vectra 40FD that has old water damage. Got it for a STEAL! (Only 30k miles!?) But still.... I'm a tad nervous about this big of a repair. Hubby is ALL IN tho. He's determined. Pray for me. ;0)

another great job 👍👍👍

Looks good Chad and Andrew. Winnebago sounds like job security. Happy trails!

I mentioned to some colleagues in the RV business that you are the RV expert I refer to and quote - me being a diehard RV consumer - I said that I would be their QC on repairs and new acceptances. They seemed somewhat offended - I think because deep down they know you are a truthful, honest expert with tons of experience to boot. There is no excuse to condone and support shoddy workmanship in pursuit of profits!!!

Hi there I am always watching all your videos I am happy that you're showing the what's material you're using I was wondering how to finding that white fom to glue plywood thanks for showing those videos I am enjoying watching

That's a 30 thousand dollar job! Nice work!

Wow James, thanks for showing so much detail. The filler piece of foam you put in along the edge was interesting. Not impressed with Winnebago roof assembly after inspecting mine. On a 2020 model, they are built still the same.

Saw you on Andrew Steele's video so I checked your channel out. Very cool stuff you guys do.

Very impressive.

Thanks James for the great content. Your videos are so interesting and informative. Would you consider giving rough cost estimates of some of these repairs? It would help if we were going to buy an RV that have some of these problems. Thanks and keep them coming.

So glad i have a metal roof.

Always a great watch! I live in the UK and have a 1994 Georgie Boy Swinger that needs new EPDM roof and lots of side delamination to try and sort too. Maybe next year I will get round to tackling it! Keep the vids rolling James they're great 👍

We have a 2005 Itasca Meridian and the roof is going to need replacement soon, starting to crack on the radius. After watching your videos for awhile now I don’t think I would want anybody else doing it but you. Let me know how I can make that happen.

Thanks. god bless

Another great video. Question for you i have a 78 winnebago chieftan 25ft with a flat roof starting to sag a little and fail so im going to completely re do the roof and adding some trusses for water run off. My question for you because i value you knowledge is if you could have your choice of roofing materials, what would you prefer in my case epdm tpo pvc or aluminum sheet? Thanks

Nicely done! I wish you shared more details on how to cut holes, but perhaps it's all covered in other videos. How long did it take to do the roof only from removing AC units and all stuff to sealing back the radiuses?

you need like a branding plate or sticker "RV Roof by James & Chad"

Learned a lot watching your videos James, but here is a question for you. It seems Tiffin uses a Silicone CSL 515 for caulking, that does not seem to be generally available. In your experience, is there a recommended sealant that will adhere to this material and not peel off? Or, do I need to order tubes from Tiffin, as I cannot find this anywhere. Thanks so much!

I am learning a lot about Winnebago roofs from watching your videos. I have replaced my living room vent fan and the bathroom vent. I want to add a vent in the bed room. My question is how do I find out where to cut the 14X14 hole without hitting a cross brace? This is on a 2010 Sunstar 26P. Will a stud finder find the cross brace or does Winnebago have drawings showing the cross braces?

Hi James, what do you think of running a heated cord in my travel trailer rain gutters? It's in the snow all winter and I get ice damns forming on the edge of the roof.

Another great job, Chad needs a mic. New deck looks much better 😁 🇺🇸🦅😎👍

Hi James, Quick question. I am replacing the membrane on my 2010 5th wheel Denali by Dutchmen and once I got the old one off, there remains a very sticky glue on the chipper board. Not my preferred materiel but I suspect it's for cost reasons. Is there something that can be used to remove the glue or is laying down a thin plywood over it the way to go? Great videos BTW very informative.

I wish you were closer so you could do my roof. At least I know it would be done right, and not having to so it a second time in 4 years....

James, I have a 2002 Winnie Journey, and along the right radius, front to back has come loose from the luan, but only about 6" in from the outer radius. My question is, If I try to lift the filon up so I can put more adhesive under at the edge, is it likely the filon will rip? It will only need to come up to clear the outer edge, then it would be free, and I could put adhesive under the radius and retuck. If I clean out the trim well, I can move it, but I have yet to try end to end to clear the trim edge. Any thoughts or warnings? It might be more brittle but it might allow me enough flex to add more adhesive on the radius. The first crack and I'll stop and reassess.

Another great save for your customer. In your earlier roof video you were using mineral spirits and a razor blade to clean off the old sealant. Have you switched to using an oscillating multi-tool instead or just for this type of repair? Thanks for another informative video watched from the west valley - Surprise!

James I have a 2011 cedar Creek 5 wheel with EPDM roofing, not leaking, I want to recoat it with some super tough coating. What do you suggest and how much dicor resealing or over sealing should be done. I would like to get 5 plus years out of it

Whats the average cost of a roof delaminate replacement like this? Not including indoor work

What wipe product do you suggest to clean a roof shower skylight?

Is it possible to do a temporary fix until you can get your whole roof fixed if it's delaminated? I have a fifth wheel.

I would like to completely put a whole new roof and deck on my 2000 Rexhall Aerbus who would I contact find out a rough estimate ?

How and what do you use to clean the glue from the pray gun? Also what size spray tip do you use to prevent clogging?

Just out of curiosity, what would it cost to do the same procedure on a 1991 Fleetwood Flair 22 foot long Class A Motorhome that you did with the Winnabago Roof in this video ?

That looks better than factory you do great work. Question what's your opinion of the RV roof armor with a lifetime guarantee? What have you seen

What does a roof job like this cost? I have a 2006 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager in need of a new roof.

Hi James nice job. For those who have Rv's and in the process of repairing or buying and having to replace a roof. What can one expect to pay??

Just going to replace roof on 2014 Rockwood 2109S trying to determine what to use, dealer suggested PVC. A friend who does commercial roofing said I could use TPO 60 mil is there any reason not to us that? I just want to use the best most durable material Great videos Thanks!

What type of adhesive is thus and where can I purchase it

I'm not sure about later models than ours... The Ultimate series was only made for a few years... And I as far as I know it was the predecessor to the Journey... But I can confirm that our 2001 Ultimate Advantage is based on a Freightliner chassis... And as far a high end or luxury is concerned there was one trim level higher and that was the Ultimate Freedom... Perhaps others can comment...

From that vantage point you can watch pickleball and scope out new customers.

I thought Winnegago's had a one piece fiberglass roof's on them.

What was the cost on that? Its exactly the same as our roof. 2005 Winnebago Journey. I really wish there was a way to relaminate some of the delamination bubbles we have until we get a full roof replacement.

Have you ever used azdel for roof sheeting instead of luan? Is azdel better. I understand it is more expensive? What do think of using a spray roofing or roll on liquid material similar to truck bed liner? Comments please? Good bad?

How much advance notice do you need for an epdm roof replacement on a 2007 26' Wildcat travel trailer?

Where are you buying your Stabond?

What's the trick for cleaning over sprayed adhesive on the roof?

What does it cost to replace the roof?

Thanks for sharing. Like #280, view 2163

So, this coach was a just a thin “fiberglass” roof, would you expect a “gel coat fiberglass” roof to last the life of the coach, with just regular maintenance of “caulking” the seams?

A lot better doing that in the winter time isn’t it.

Chad is the wood to 1/4" or 1/8" ? So how does anyone expect 65 " X 39" Solar Panel to stay on top of a flat surface going down the road at say 70 MPH ? So what if you have 10 solar panels doing the same to the same motorhome roof ?

So do roof coating systems do anything to help the roof?

Have you worked with PVC membranes before?

Would it make better sense to use some kind of material for the roof instead of wood?. Something that wouldn't rot?.

Does that RV shop back up against Mesa Spirit RV resort?

Is 'oscillating-tool jousting' OSHA approved?

How is the quality of Winnebago's travel trailers roofs? Would love a nice Class A but on a Disabled LEO's pension so every penny counts. Thanks!

Wow Roof looks great. Inside needs some work.

Your shirt's amazing, it looks exactly like our bowling team shirt.. Besides that, I've learned not to buy Winnebago RVs. Good luck

Your wearing a nice toque ( Canadian language). Lolol

James-I really liked watching this-But I would like to know in the video how much something like this costs? Just to determine for myself if it would be worth having it done 😀🚌🇺🇸

As a roofing contracctor. Honestly you guys could of screwed down deck over existing.roofing Clean roof with simple green. I would of pressure washed before all units etc were taking off.Then install UNI FLEX silicone over deck and embedd 36 inch rolls of tytex re-enforement fabric.Use ONE FLASH around all penetrations. You can use mesh but you do not have to.Ive did so many roofs i dont ebven really like talking about it. Hahaha Not joking.Using the reenforement fabric and silicone it will last another 20 years. Silicone does however collect dirt , but washes very easily off.Could of saved alot of time and money doing this way.

what is the average cost to install a new roof ?

That’s a dangerous job the way you are having to walk around on the roof without any barrier. If I were you I would build another roof with stairs on each side leaving enough room between the 2 wooden structures to back the coach in between them to do roofing jobs.

I thought you had a roof leak that was dripping throughout your videos. Its actually someone playing tennis.

How does someone get a hold of you

why wouldn’t they show how they'd tucked into the sides, dont know that many for many of us, thats the missing question on this replacement

What does this cost?

surprised with all that money spent they still kept that old batwing antenna they work good but rattle and get so loose

I’m so glad I didn’t buy a Winnebago RV! I thought the fiberglass roofs were better than the rubber from Fleetwood but those laminate roofs are a JOKE! I was looking at an older Winnebago brochure and they kept trying to brag about their chassis and construction around the doghouse but it looks like their house construction is horrible!
