Eternabond Tape

Has anyone used Eternabond Tape to seal the roof seams, around vent, etc? How well does it work? How long does it last. Do you like the product? Thanks.

I just pulled my X17Z to Florida and back (1,000 miles round trip) with a GMC 1500 5.3 ltr. I use no sway control or LD and it pulls fine. I tend to keep it no faster than 60.

Unhappy Rubber top bubbles

Gang,

I have several small (quarter size) bubbles in the rubber roof of my 2011 Z17X. Is this normal or a problem that I need to have addressed. The camper is still under warranty.
