Ron rubber roof bubbles wrinkles coming loose have been referenced a few times on this forum as noted by oldguy in post 2.
Not all epdm is not bonded well it is only in cases where not enough glue was used or the original installation was faulty in some other way.
Roof bubbling is just what it sounds like spots where the rubber has lifted off the surface of the roof and formed a bubble or blister.
We bought a used rv and it had apparently had its rubber roof repaired improperly some time prior.
We remove wrinkles for cosmetic reasons.
Typically the seams on the roofing material plywood or whatever are taped over prior to the rubber membrane being glued to the surface.
The rv manufacturer simply didn t apply the adhesive evenly or left some dirt on the roof that the adhesive couldn t stick to.
I think that about a four foot wide strip of rubber was replaced over the bedroom and seamed to the main rubber roof with a metal strip of something.
Tim moss explains why you should be more concerned with the cause behind your wrinkly roof than just it s appearance.
This is certainly not just a gdrv item as for decades in our travels we have seen rv after rv traveling down the highway with particularly the front area blown up like a big bubble.
