Hole in decking under rubber roof

I just picked up my 2022 Riverstone Reserve 3850RK last week. I was walking the roof today and noticed a "X" marked on the roof. Under the X is an approximately 2" diameter hole cut in the roof decking. It is right by the solar panels, so I assume they cut in the wrong location and just stretched the rubber roof over it. Should I be concerned?

Perhaps. You should at least document it with the dealer. Call and send them a picture and ask them that question.

X2 on that get it in to the dealer and either have them repair the hole. its very easy to puncture a roof with no support under it even a 2" hole. JMHO

The hole under the membrane is where your cables are located for if you plan on installing a winegard dish on your roof.

Correct. Mine actually had a sticker of the top of it that said exactly that. Note that there is no 12vdc power there; just a coax cable connection.

If it was mine and I didn't plan on using it for anything, I'd put something rigid over it and seal it in with Dicor.
