Thank goodness we haven't had any problems. I sleep in the AFT and always leave the sides zipped closed. It's freezing up there Will keep your advice in mind for the future tho'

One of the small white nylon rollers on our roof is cracked and it judders on that side when nearly up, might be worth a look.... plenty of grease has made it work ok, but it might get worse i suppose in time.

Make yourself a nice insulated roof tent liner then it should be no more than cool up there

Interestingly, i get a smooth operation of the roof, just the once after spraying with lithium grease, then slowly but surely, the groaning and the judders return...same with the roof too.

I have since discovered that if i put my fingers in my ears, and don't watch the roof operation,it becomes silent and smooth.

Get up on a step ladder and you will find the switch. Bend it up a bit or put a sticky pad on the roof seal so it presses the switch.

Can you describe exactly where it is because mine rarely stops beeping. thanks

I am lucky because I have two exposed corners in my roof tent where the metal and the top have seperated

I've got a bit of that too. Dreamwarrior explained how to fix it but haven't got time just now to go searching. He made it sound simple to fix (I hope!)
