RE: Kingsport (by Gulfstream) TT owners beware!
That really sounds like what happened. I never expected to get any response from the Gulfstream customer service, but they actually responded! :E
HE wanted pictures, so I forwarded those above to him. The response I got back was
"the plant your unit was manufactured in was closed during the 2012 model year ….………so I was unable to send to the manufacturing facility for review and or comment"
So ... basically what I suspected..... nothing.
It's all repaired now, and I'm confident it won't leak, (using 4" wide Eternabond tape, and lap seal. It's just frustrating as hell that I didn't have to cut the membrane at all!!!

Kingsport (by Gulfstream) TT owners beware!
We have a 2011 Kingsport 288RLs (by Gulfstream Coach, Inc)
Recently, while cleaning the trailer, I discovered a soft spot in the roof just in front of the front vent (over the bedroom). There is no leak showing inside, so I assumed it was a pinhole leak that hadn't gotten bad enough yet to get through. I knew I had to open the membrane and repair the roof, which I did. Imagine my shock when I found a crescent had been cut into the OSB and then stapled and covered with metal tape!!!
I can't even begin to imagine what the purpose of this would have been. I'll attach photos to show you what I found. I called and emailed customer service at Gulfstream Coach but of course, I haven't gotten a reply. (No surprise on a 10 yer old trailer)
I am posting this to warn other Kingsport owners (and future owners) to be ware of this potential problem in your trailers.
After I cut the membrane, I discovered that there WAS NO LEAK! Now obviously I have to repair the roof and membrane. Probably just as well that I fix this thing, but it is extremely frustrating to have to fix some slipshod workmanship like this.

OK, so I guess you can't upload images. Too bad :S
Here they are ... Thanks, treyster. I couldn't find how to post images here.
