Roof on 2009 Rockwood TT coming apart?
Went up onto the roof today to have a look at my slide topper and I noticed down both edges of the roof, front to back, it looks like the vinyl is bubbling or coming unglued from the styrofoam core. Is this normal...something I should be concerned about? It is not leaking or anything but I am wondering if over time, this loose space on the edges will lead to the vinyl cracking due to movement from snow and rain loads.

Is the vinyl roof on the Rockwood a "floating roof", or is it adhered to the hard surface underneath?
Anyone?

Thanks for the replies!

I figured out that it is a floating vinyl roof based on pictures I posted in another thread....and what I am seeing is quite normal.
