Brown calk on roof membrane??????? - new 2022 2500RL. We are looking at a new trailer 5 hours away and I would have to tow our trade-in there and the new trailer back. I don't have a problem with that.
It is seemingly a great deal and I asked the salesman if the membrane was fully fastened. He said he would take lots of pictures. He said the membrane was fully glued down.
Now, what is the deal with the calk. I mentioned to him that the Dicor self-leveling calk or whatever is white on all the new trailers but never got a response. I will push him more tomorrow.
To me it looks like it maybe the roof leaked and they threw whatever the service guys could find up there? And, I can do a much better job of putting down the Dicor than that. Unless they calked over the original white calk. Do we ask to remove whatever calk is on there and redo properly? Can they do it better and not damage the membrane in the process?
I see a couple of places where they might have calked over the white.
Is this a deal breaker? Is the darker calk more vulnerable in the heat? Should we take the car up there to check it out instead of taking our trade-in all that way and the deal is a bust? Get an rv inspector from the area to look at it? Is it not good to overload the calk?
So darn many questions. We appreciate any ideas.
