Re: Bay Area tires, sealing, etc Reply #2 – March 28, 2022, 03:44:50 pm Dave, Allen Tire Company did our tire install. They have stores all over the place. Perhaps there is one in your area.Roof reseal? Kinda early for that. The mothership recommended 7-10 years for me. Our rig was made in 2015. With that, I’m looking at 2025 to get the job done. Probably get Vince to do the work. He’s done all our minor repairs. I trust his work. If his price is near LD’s price, I’ll go to LD.Your roof should be fine. Have you noticed some crazy goings on up topside?Kent

Have you noticed some crazy goings on up topside?I agree that it’s early, the inspector recommended it:Inspectors are not supposed to provide any form of opinion but there are two things that concern me. Most of my professional time is spent inspecting and repairing roofs and sidewalls. In my opinion, the roof should be resealed in the next 6 months. I/m happy to share my reasoning. The seller has taken great care of the coach but he did a poor job of resealing. He used the wrong color sealant and it looks wonky. If I was to do a reseal it would charge $3000. As an NRVIA inspector I cannot profit in any way from an inspection inside of a year, so I'm not positioning myself for the work.The guy does RV roof repairs for a living, so I assume he knows what he is talking about. Plus I am planning to fill the roof with solar in May, be nice to the roof done prior to that?

There are several, but are they all great, and do they all do RVs? :-)
Re: Bay Area tires, sealing, etc Reply #5 – March 28, 2022, 05:14:43 pm Most tire stores can do RV's if the parking lot is large enough; they are typically done outside the bays. Call the store(s) that interest you and ask them what their RV/truck chassis experience is. My tires were done by Big O is San Luis Obispo.Call the Mothership about the roof resealing. I suspect they will advise you to wait. Since I am a fellow 2017 owner, let us know what they say, please!

Re: Bay Area tires, sealing, etc Reply #7 – March 28, 2022, 09:31:14 pm Hi Dave. I think it is too early to get a roof reseal. The inspector may never have seen a Lazy Daze roof. I can't imagine why your previous owner did anything to the roof. If he over coated the roof seams, he didn't hurt the original Lazy Daze sealing job. It should be in good shape for the next ten years at least. More with the overcoat, as long as he didn't compromise LD's job. RonB 1 Likes

Make his team work for what they are going to charge you. I believe Joan will agree on this one... Tell him all of the new tires MUST have a date code within the last six months.Oh, one other thing, remove the wheel simulators at home before driving to the service location! This lessens chances of a screw-up and later hassles! 4 Likes
