In my opinion those joint seals should last more than a year. I'm going to write a letter to Keystone, but I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears. Has anyone else experienced this? Any luck with Keystone?
Our last RV - A Thor industries RV - CrossRoads Cruiser Patriot - it had to be resealed - complete roof area. Got the same reply - that is the responsibility of the owner. Cost us $250.00. I had to have it done in order to maintain the 5 year structural warranty.

Most dealers will follow the warranty rules of the manufacture. They are not going to eat the costs.

After I took delivery of our Avalanche:
1. Sealed the front compartment (from inside and under the area)– appears that “water spray” must have entered the compartment at some time as it traveled down the road. Took 2 tubes of sealant.
2. Rear area of the refrigerator was not sealed like I have seen on other refrigerators. Sealed area and painted the wood for preservation.
3. Underside of RV - resealed areas sealed at the factory
4. Resealed a few areas on the front of the RV as needed
5. Resealed the water works area as needed
6. Resealed the propane bottle area as needed.
