My understanding (from the Lance factory tour) was that the switch was made due to sizing problems. Aluminum could not be economically produced in sheets wide enough for the MAX (and all new wider) models. Having a seam in the aluminum wasn't desired.

Ok, I can believe this. I think it is due to the economics of the price of Aluminum. I do lot of welding and in the last 3 year metal has gotten out of control regarding price. What used to cost $100.00 to make now is $500.00 and that with steel.
I am not sure about the MAX. I find it hard to believe that the roof is that much bigger. My current camper sit 8' wide. I think that is close to MAX width. I would be interested in knowing the specific of how wide the MAX roof is.
Just remember the government claims we have no or min. inflation. YA RIGHT!!
