2018 Coachmen LEPRECHAUN 200CBT

Hi Everyone,

I recently sold by 15 years old RV and plan to get a smaller class B/C . 2 of the choices are Coachmen LEPRECHAUN 200CBT and Winnebago Winnie 22R. I read a lot about Coachmen's azdel which claims to be superior but I am concerned about the roof. I am not sure if azdel is used for the roof and how is it compared to fiberglass used in Winnie's roofs. What are your thoughts about these 2 products?

    Our '15 Coachmen has the TPO roof. Fiberglass is cool but, we based our decision on other parameters. My thinking, they are all okay if maintained...

    Azdel is used for the sidewalls. According to their website they have a TPO roof (at least on the new ones). I don't believe the 200 CBT model is listed for this year in their Leprechaun model, but is listed in the Freelander model.

    Sounds like it's lightweight and resists rot/mold if exposed to moisture. Unlike wood or particle board. It says it's a composite of polypropylene and fiberglass, so if used up top, would probably be similar to fiberglass.
    As long as it doesn't wind up becoming toxic or shedding toxic fumes if/when heated, it seems like it would work.
    Is there a Coachmen forum you could post this question up on? To get some anecdotal experience?
