I would not like to deal with this problem, but, if I did, I'd be inclined to do exactly as you have done. I am not sure why the skin seems to have stretched, but I do see the result you pointed out. to fix the remaining problem, it looks as if one would have to remove the metal edging on each side of the roof, drill a few more holes near the edges, inject the resin, roll out the roof skin, trim it, and then reattach and seal the edging. It seems doable, but there is also a prospect for disaster. I am not sure either how or how well those metal edge strips are mounted to the roof. Sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone.Maybe this is one of those times??? I think you did a good job and I hope your camping trip goes well. Happy Trails!
Yeah I can’t figure out how that top sheet could be so “loose” unless maybe trailering it while delaminating causes it to “tug” a bit? Either way it’s fixed well enough for now, and if you spotted the end scene you’d see what I’m doing next. 🙃
My biggest concern is that whatever breakdown in skin-to-foam bond occurred, is that when we inject epoxy - with this repair method we have not removed the failed bonding material, so the fix may not last long. As to how the skin is now all of a sudden larger (bubbling) - it takes very little extra length to develop that curved surface! I suspect that excess heat is one possible cause (it failed the OEM adhesive). Our 2003 Aliner had a longitudinal crease down one roof when we bought it in 2019 - I can't imagine what caused that to occur.
@@larrysee7306 nothing, it was just foam insulation and the roof top was fiberglass, both were glued together, i actually added 1/8 aluminum angle bars every 2 feet and cut my panels in half they were 4x8 sheets of insulation and 1/4 inch fiberboard glued together.

Yeah, I'm guessing water intrusion, and then cycles of condensation/freezing/thawing is what caused the bond to break.
What's the mpgs when towing the A frame?
12ish? Normally it's 13ish
Is that a fiberglass roof skin or aluminum? (I have the same problem with my aluminum skin on my 2003 Sout)
Fiberglass
Planning Mod V action?
When it warms up, heck yeah!
What a great life having 2 places to “be” !
I tore off the entire roof, I ordered new panels and TPO roof and that’s what I’m doing
Whats the framing like under the roof skin? Wood? Metal? spacing?
