Incident: April 5, 2019 · Filed: April 16, 2019

NOT SO MUCH WHAT HAPPENED BUT WHAT I THINK COULD HAPPEN. AFTER PURCHASE, I CLIMBED UP ON THE ROOF AND SAW A GAP BETWEEN THE ROOF AND WHERE THE FRONT CAP IS ATTACHED TO THE ROOF. THE DRIVER SIDE IS GOOD, THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A 1/2"+ GAP AND LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT CAP IS TRYING TO SEPARATE ITSELF FROM THE REST OF THE COACH. DOES NOT GIVE ME A SAFE FEELING. WINNEBAGO SAID IT'S FINE, JUST NEEDS MORE CALK. WOULD LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO TELL ME IT'S OK! I WILL SHOW A PIC OF THE GOOD SIDE (DRIVER) AND THE BAD SIDE (PASSENGER). HOPE IT'S APPARENT WHICH IS WHICH.
