  • Pine Cones Damaging Roof

    Trees in my neighbor's yard were dropping pine cones on my trailer's roof. The sharp needles on the dense (and heavy!) cones can pierce the TPO material, making small holes. Luckily I have a good relationship with my neighbor, so he allowed me to have five of his trees removed. (They are closest to the fence in the pic below.)

    Only reason for posting this is to pass on the caution that items hitting your roof (tree limbs, pine cones--whatever) should prompt an inspection to ensure there's no hole, as that (obviously) will allow water to penetrate the camper. The TPO material is very thin and while durable, is easily punctured.
