Why? There are more proplems with leaks then fiberglass thats why eveyone is looking at different ways to fix leaks rubber roofs need a great amount of treatments to keep them from drying out and srinking causing leaks. when leaks start you will remember this topic for sure.
the Itasca Sundancer didn't check out at the mechanics, transmission oil level low when tested, gen set did not keep running during test. sounds like it has been sitting around too long. so we are looking again. Any experience with 2005 Four Winds 30Ft Class C's? saw one for sale with 22000 miles, hope this one is good.
That sounds like a good $200 investment. You have to remind us if you are talking US or Canadian prices when you are shopping. I would definitely take a 35-38' Class A for a test drive. I think you would be surprised how much easier it handles than you think from just looking. I also can not handle the bunk beds in a C and if you look you will find many of the leaks in C's are at the cabover section. That extra weight that is unsupported does put more stress on the entire frame of the coach. I have had many RVs with "rubber" roofs and have not had a problem yet. I had one with an aluminum roof and you did not sleep during a rain storm due to the noise. There are many different kinds of rubber. My Newmar has a Brite-Tek roof that some call rubber. That is very difficult to even cut with a knife if you are trying to do any work on the roof. Looking is half the fun so keep looking and enjoy yourself.
yes, I must say it is fun to look around for one. and doing the homework before buying is definitely worth it. I will try a Class A too before we decide. thanks for your help
no luck with the Four winds either, there are very small outside storage compartments, guess I have to concentrate on ones that have a basement storage like the Itasca/ Winnebago
Welcome to the forum franklo99, as you have already found out the wealth of knowledge available here is huge. As for the cabover bed, thats where I sleep, I'm almost 66. What I did is buy a 4' step ladder, modified it to my use, voided the warr. What I did, I cut off the legs below the first step, which makes it set on the floor in front of the couch, the back legs now are longer the legs with the steps, so the back legs set on the floor in between the drivers and passenger seats, its level, I put carpet on the steps for comfort. The ladder is alum, I just fold it up in the morning and lay it on the bed. It works for me.
