In doing my research it appears that many manufacturers don't elaborate on the roof material in their brochures. Looking a REV products (Fleetwood /HR ) and Winnebago's. Would like a fiberglass roof if possible.

every Winnebago we've ever had (3) including our current model has had a fiberglass roof. but like anything regular maintenance is required.

a slight correction on the post, all winnie MOTORHOMES etc. etc. TTs are different.
and there is a reason that mfrs. don't brag up the fact that they are using rubber or TPO on their roofs. when somebody reports that they are interested in buying a >>>>>> I go to the web and try to find out its construction. rarely is given.

This is our first fiberglass roof - Wonderful! Easy to get lap sealant off when I replaced our satellite dish and vent covers to the ultra-breeze.

Just looked at a new Fleetwood Bounder and Holiday Rambler Vacationeer Friday and they both have the TPO roof material.

New Tiffin Allegro’s have a one piece fiberglass roof.

You can download the brochures of the models you want to look at and they will list the roof materials in the specification section.

You may have to dive deeper in their website sometimes. Tiffin has a short roof construction video showing the fiberglass manufacturing.

We have a 2021 Holiday Rambler Vacationer 33C. It is the highest level Holiday Rambler gas model and it is very well build. Very nice Motorhome. One thing I don’t like about it is that it has a TPO roof. It is not that I don’t like the material or the roof, but for the price, and level of this Motor Home, it should have a fiberglass roof.
