I just bought a new 2010 Fleetwood Pulse and I've noticed bubbles on the roof. The dealership said they contacted Fleetwood and they are saying its normal. Has anyone experienced this before? We have paid for the motorhome but haven't picked it up from the dealership because a few items were being fixed that were mistakes from the factory. This is our first RV and we don't know how to handle this, HELP!!! Any advice or help would be great. Thank you, James

Push on the bubble, feel like water in there? Make a pin hole and push the bubble, water come out? Seal the pin hole.

Forgot; If water comes out, leave it there.

I believe that they should be a little more concerned. We have a 07 Tioga with a TPO roof and it is totally flat. I don't think its water, but air bubbles from the install.I would go back to the dealer about this. If you make holes and patch, the patch will be there for life. If you don't the bubble will be there for life. Either way, not a good thing!Marvh

First Mistake was paying for the motorhome and leaving it there. After the problem is fixed they get paid and they have a lot more interest in getting the job done.

There should be no bubbles in your roof. (at least any RV I have owned never has had any)
I would have my doubts about the dealer contacting Fleetwood but since you already paid for it and have the serial numbers in hand, contact Fleetwood yourself and just tell them you noticed these bubbles and see what they tell you, then ask them what kind of warranty this roof has and if they will send you a letter to the affect stating this is normal and does not jepordize the roofs integrity.
I would not take the RV off the dealers lot until Fleetwood either fixed it or you had a letter in hand stating all was good.

This a brand new motorhome, why in the world would you want to do that?
Something is obviously wrong and the root cause needs to addressed.

On one of the Forums ask me why I don't Like rubber roofs here a new one has a problem already Just think this is new what is in store for this owner down the road? Myself I would not take it that way and if I could get out of deal find a Fiberglass Roof save him self a ton of headaches. If anything I have learned If I ever get another coach it will never have a rubber roof.
