I think what I am running into is the intended behaviour of forum/advanced forum but just checking and seeing if there is any way I can change this behaviour via configuration, hooks, or tpl files.

When I go to the second page of comments on a forum topic then Main topic(node body) is not shown. This does not happen with other content types.
Is this the correct behaviour? Is there a way to change this so the topic shows at the top even if you are on the second page of comments.

thanks

Yes, that is expected behavior.
No plans to make main topic 'sticky', but if someone provide nice patch...

 // Determine the template file to use for the node.
  if (isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] > 0) {
    // This is the repeated node on the top of subsequent pages.
    // We send this to a special .tpl so people can adjust it to their needs.
    advanced_forum_add_template_suggestions("post-repeated", $variables);
  }

Just found this in "_advanced_forum_preprocess_node". So I guess if I made my own *.post-repeated.tpl.php I could change it to whatever.Then I could display the topic.

Or if I implemented "hook_preprocess_node" maybe I could override the template suggestion to just use the "post" one.

suggestions on 1 of these approaches?

copy post.tpl to post-repeated.tpl
or change 

advanced_forum_add_template_suggestions("post-repeated", $variables);

to:

advanced_forum_add_template_suggestions("post", $variables);
