I've seen warranty refusals reported on this forum on trailers that were 3-4 months old because Keystone stated the owner failed to inspect and maintain the roof sealant.

That said, roof sealant leaks... PERIOD.... and it's up to the owner to maintain it. After delivery, it becomes a "maintenance responsibility" and is no longer a "warranty item"..... Read your warranty very carefully and you'll find as the first "what's not covered": Routine maintenance including, without limitation, caulking, re-caulking and waxing of the body of the RV,

I'm not trying to take sides with or against Keystone or the owner, but from past experiences shared on this forum, Keystone won't cover any roof sealant problems after delivery. It becomes an "owner responsibility" to maintain the roof. That's not to say they won't cover obvious problems, but taking it back 5 or 6 months later with water damage from a leaking seam on the roof???? Look for an uphill battle with something like that......
