My 2014 39 foot Montana was hit by karge hail and 65 mile winds!!! Look at roof damage so any Tex think it’s a total new roof needed??? All the fans and skylight were trashed lights and metal skirts!!!! Up here in Wyoming the wind and storms are bad! I am at 5300 feet on the edge of the Rockie here in Casper!!! Any advice???? 🤠 hawk

Wow, sorry to see that. Hopefully extended warranty coverage will cover? Roof damage is not pretty, but roof itself may still be sound. New ac cover a cheap issue if that is the only damage to the ac.

Extended warranty is actually a service contract. This would be an insurance claim.

The roof EPDM is very flexible and most likely not compromised. However the metal radius under the EPDM is dented. Just unsightly but not a cause for major concern. Obviously the plastic items on the roof will need to be replaced ASAP to prevent water intrusion.

Thanks i think it can be fixed by insurance

If the insurance company isn't on board, I'd be pushing for a complete roof replacement. Without taking it up you won't know if the plywood underneath is damaged, plus that metal should be replaced. That's what insurance is for.

Looks like my did several years past- insurance paid to have the roof replaced(12,000). replaced the wood also. Loveland Colorado, now Lazy Days RV.

This happened to me last year. Call your insurance company first. Second, Find a GOOD REPUTABLE repair center that knows what they are doing and get a written estimate. I would imagine that there is more damage that just the roof. Windows? Sidewalls and lower aluminum? Graphics?



My rig was taken to an authorized Keystone repair center close to me in Binghamton, New York. It was my choice to take it there as they had assisted me with measurements for a frame flex issue. They did a very poor job in fixing it. Be sure that the place you take it can get it inside their facility. They had it from about May 17 to September 13. They did not complete the entire repair as I removed it from their facility so that I could get to the National Rally. Once there, I found D & T Repair Center who looked at it, shook his head and then proceeded to give me an additional estimate on what it would take to complete the fix and repair the repairs that were done. Insurance covered all except for the deductible. Also, while at the Binghamton facility, the front was scraped by someone. It put a gouge in the front cap. Naturally they denied knowing anything about it. D & T fixed that also. They are really great people.


The repairs included replacing the entire roof. The Binghamton Facility did not replace the wood underlayment. It should have been replaced to get a smooth finish. Replacement of all the vent covers, tank vents, and AC cover. Replacement of the fan on the AC unit. Replace the glass on the DS Rear escape window. Replace the aluminum on the lower side of the driver's side with graphics. Replacement of the microwave vent. Replace several marker light covers. Replacement of the slide topper fabric for 2 slides.
