mlts,
If you would, please educate me on rubber vs. fiberglass roofs.
A rubber roof usually has seams at the edges, where just a glob of caulk is the only thing keeping the water out (water coming in at highway speeds.) Eventually caulk cracks, dries up, shrinks, or otherwise gets rendered ineffectual, especially at seams on the cabover, resulting in enormous rot issues.
A fiberglass roof that is "cupped" a couple inches over the sides has caulk, but it isn't at stress points. Water can get past the caulk, but has to run upwards under the fiberglass and down into the rig for it to damage (quite difficult.) This is why Winnebago, Nexus RV, Lazy Daze and the other top tier places use fiberglass roofs. Even Forest River uses them. Having no rot due to water intrusion can mean selling your rig at a nice NADA value versus selling it for the scrap value due to mold making the inside uninhabitable.
