So I have a new to me 2000 32ft Winnebago. We got caught in a strong wind storm our first trip out last weekend and it peeled back the roof edge (the 4 to 6 inches that fold down the side) about 10 feet. What's the best way to repair this myself?

You will find that the rolled edge portion of the roof falls under yearly maintenance.

That rood portion is held down by the caulk where roof meets side trim. You will need to clean the old caulk out (might as well do whole side) then apply new caulk made for the purpose of holding down the roof. I use Sika https://automotive.sika.com/

If you go over to the winnebago owners forum theres lots if info on your problem

Sorry to hear about the roof damage! For a DIY fix, assess the extent of the damage, secure loose edges with sealant, and consider reinforcing with aluminum tape. It has to be noted that leaffilter reviews suggest their products for preventive maintenance; you can explore options to fortify vulnerable areas and protect against future weather challenges. Good luck with the repair!
