John and Chuckster,

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I will keep an eye on it.

FYI, I haven't yet crawled up on the roof - with all the posts about being careful, I just lean as far as I can. I do know that at some time someone has been walking around on the roof - there's a nice print of a sneaker in the Dicor around the antenna! Do the techs use plywood? And if so, why the footprint?

I hope to take a tour of the factory later this spring. We will be headed back east after a visit to Denver for a family function. While it's not exactly on the way, who knows when I'll get that close again.

General question: Why did the manufacturers move to rubber for the roofs? Was it strictly cost and weight? I don't ever recall my father having issues with the roofs of the various TTs we had while I was growing up (Shasta, Holiday Rambler). He can't recall what the roofs were made of (aluminum?) but he's certain it wasn't rubber.
