inspection, awning is fine, needs some silicone around light strip wiring opening).

roof inspection-
roof has multiple 1"-2" tears in TPO that run intermittently for approx 15 ft. from front high point of RV roof to doorway (best guess is while driving collision with a branch according to Insurance).

Insurance Authorized temp repair til it goes in to CW in FL 6/7/2017. CW has 3 week wait in que. Said leave it for 3+ weeks.

Tech people at CW both Charleston & Summerfield FL were terrific. Great advice and hand holding.

Good Sam Insurance was responsive, immediately filed the claim, didn't even want pics, walked us thru process.
Only call them if temp repair is over $500 (deductible).

CW carries TP roof repair 25 ft strip in a roll( approx 4" wide),
verbally walked us thru trimming damage edges, dicor cleaner and applying repair strip of TPO, rolling strip.
Best advice let it dry......"as strand board holds water". Its been 90 degrees for 3 days and rain should hold off til weekend.

Insurance "do not apply any unauthorized fix, other cements/products can disintergrate TPO".

I am not going to do this temp repair. Retired civil engineer, 73 & holding want to make it to 74, RV, travel and boat!

Mobile RV repair service echoed same approach as CW.
Will come and do repair.

FL CW will do final repair, check walls, floor, hall window for water intrusion.

Thanks for advice, no evidence of odor, mold or water in basement.
Wall paper has small intermittent puckers at the ceiling along drip line.

Like the idea of annual roof inspection, and hiring some younger person to clean/treat/inspect the roof!
