We have a 2011 23RBK and I have been on the roof many times. I believe they still use the same construction materials. I weigh around 200 and I have never felt any "sag" or give while on the roof.

Re: Tee hold back bracket for door on 19RSD

Re: Gulf Stream Visa or Vista Roof

We a a 23RBK and I have been on the roof numerous times. It feels very sturdy, with no noticeable "give." I weigh 180 lbs., so if it was going to sag, I think my weight would have done it by now.

Re: 2013 Visa 19 ERD Door Hydraulic Unit

Re: Trailer Wheel Alignment
