Can help identify? I took apart the exhaust fans, but there is no extra rubber material to be found.

TIA!
Fiberglas roof.
Most anything will work, depending on the severity and location.
Body patch kits with work, as will flex seal tape or coating.

Washing and floor polish will slow down the streaking from up there and should last two or three months. I forget what I using now, but mop and glo seems to be a favorite for this purpose.

@mackwrench and @tropical36

Thanks for the quick responses.

Oddly enough, the original brochure states "S Domed Rubber Roof with Radius Corners" as standard option for exterior.

I haven't been able to get back up to the roof line yet, but will take pictures of the patching job(s) around the lip where the roof meets the sidewalls/rain gutters.

2005 American Eagle

Just acquired our first coach. Took it on maiden voyage this past weekend. Enjoyed and learned a bunch. Have to figure out how to remove the old TVs, figure out the push button entry system (wiring I believe), and figure out a few other minor issues. Thanks in advance for the help.

Arizona 1999 American Tradition

Hello All!
We have had this coach for about two years. Have read a lot here in those two years sorting out this or that. Coach is great though I do long for more power. And less stress when driving! It’s a beast and my first RV other than my offroad tear drop.
We are in Tucson area. Happy to be part of this group.

Thank you Rob. I love the black and silver. Stands out. For a 2007, when we pull in the campsite its funny how many people come over and want to know the year and peek inside.

Looks very similar to my 2008 Fleetwood Revolution LE 42K.
The black will be hard to keep clean, coat the roof with 303 to keep white streaks off the side (and helps life of roof) and I have had good success with TopCoat ceramic spray after a wash. But applying once a year is not so bad. Hard to wash off the white streaks, but when applying the TopCoat it helps remove them.
