Fiberglass as a replacement for EPDM

Has anyone every replace an EPDM/"rubber" roof with fiberglass ? Once the old roof, adhesive, roof mounted vents/air conditioning and caulk are removed, I would think it would not be too bad of a job. Pretty much the same as installing a new rubber roof. More expensive for sure, but I would think 2 layers of 7.5 or 10 ounce cloth would be good for a lifetime.

Of course, most resins do breakdown when exposed to sunlight so a marine topside paint should be applied.

If you clean prep it well,it should work..
Heckuva smelly job though..
I covered my TC plywood roof with aluminum sheet 0.025 gage..used very expensive Evercoat tube epoxy @ 70$ a piece, to glue all edges down,,to save money I also used exterior carpet adhesive in the midle of these panels..still dam expensive but it should last forever..

There also exist some kind of spray on adhesive,,not sure of the name that can be used,,
Someone even used truck bedliner coating..many choices,,next time I build or buy a camper it will be aluminum or fiberglass with gelcoat,,
Hemp plastic would be even better IF someone built such campers..
