Newmar Recall

I came across this, don't know the relevance of it in the UK, but thought I would post it anyway:

HERE

 

It has much relevance. Luckily my Newmar is just a little older. So hopefully no problems other than the things that usually go wrong with ALL RV's at some time or another. :Blush:

 

Has yours got a Tarmac roof like mine allegedly?LINDA

 

Tarmac roof? EPDM membrane me old chaps. :thumb:

 

Hardy HA HA

 

Hardy Harr indeed.....he's only bin and gone and put silicone on it John!

 

What's wrong with that then? It's cheaper than Sikaflex.

 

Ere If it works!!!! I thought it was tarmac.

 

oh: oh: I give up oh: oh:

 

Got the road scraper booked for the weekend.

 

:Cool: You give up TOO easily Linda.

 

I'm learning a lot about tarmac roofs in this thread.

 

Basic Precautions
With all newly-surfaced bitmac roofs, the following will help protect the surface in the critical first two weeks…

* Keep vehicle speed to a minimum – don't set off from a stationary position at high speed and don't accelerate suddenly.

* Avoid turning 'on-the-spot' when using vehicles blessed with power-steering. Always make sure the vehicle is moving before turning the steering.

* Put down sheets of plywood or similar to protect the surface from tyre and traffic scuffing on the hottest days of summer.

* Don't park motorbikes on the new bitmac for a couple of weeks, as the side and/or centre stands will 'dig-in' to the new surface.

* Don't walk on the bitmac in stiletto heels (that goes for you, too, ladies!)

 

Small rollers can be hired for residential tarmac repairs

 

I think you're right John
