2002-2006 Winnebago Brave Adventurer
I am looking to upgrade and possibly buy a newer Class A MH and don't want another with a rubber roof. DW and I have narrowed the field down to 2002 to 2006 Winnebago Braves and Adventurers by the flo...

The fiberglass roof is standard on Winnebago Brave, Adventurer, Journey, etc. Don't stress the side caulk, the one I bought didn't have the maintenance done on that, and it took me about 3 hours and $30 worth of materials to remedy that. It should be good for 5-7 years I would think.
I've heard of people having trouble with their basement air, but I've heard of people having trouble with the roof air units also. The basement air is nice because all the noise is under the bed and you don't have water draining off your roof.
The slides on these units are hydraulic and very reliable. The gear-driven slides are what I hear people have problems with. I like the slides because they don't waste any time going in or out.
I was in the same boat as you and wanted the fiberglass roof and I like the build quality of the older Winnebago units. I wanted a diesel which is basically the exact version of the gas unit, except it rides on a Freightliner chassis.
Good luck in your search. I'm very pleased with my 01 Adventurer and imagine you will be happy with whatever you go with also.
