The front right side tore off in a blizzard while we coming back from AZ. The Filon on my AF 1150 was gone from the nose to the bedroom window top to bottom. Removed the puckered luan, dried it out, used white alumnum 22" flashing (overlapping top to bottom after making a template. Cleaned the nose cap metal (so the flashing would fit in)used caulking and liquid nails.... and it looks great! Total costs about $25.

RWD111, be sure to tell your insurance company your annual mileage. Mine gives me a break on price because I don't use it for commuting to work, retired, and low annual mileage.

Beginning to think I must have a leak in the vent above my fridge, because this is the second time the drip pan has been full to the top, even though the unit is off and there's been no freezing weather.

Filled it full of groceries for the long weekend trip. Cleaned the kitchen sink (bleach to remove stains) and the bathroom fixtures.
