Tug gently on it to make sure it is bonded well, and has no gaps. If so, find the manufacturer of the roof and ask what product they use on their membrane. Buy some, and re caulk everything that protrudes through the roof. If you can’t do these sort of things, get a handi man to do it for you. Inspect every bolt you can find. The black and gray water tanks often are poorly attached and need securing before they fall off. Leaks will ruin the walls, and the cheap “furniture” such as closets and kitchen seats, as well as floor. Drain traps need tightening, and all water connections will need snuggling up by hand. It’s a sad thing to expect all this, but if you research, you will find they all have issues. They are thrown together from start to finish in about 7 hours, with no QC along the way. Good luck.
Exactly what I did the very next day after bringing mine home (new). Found several issues that would have been major problems down the road if not delt with immediatly. Good info Steve ^ !
