Brite Tek roof vs Fiberglass

I hope I don't get any arguments started here, but I was wondering if it would be better to order a Newmar,(if that's what I'll eventually choose,) with a fiberglass roof or would the standard Brite Tek roof be the better way to go. I will be leaving the motorhome stored outside when not in use and occasionally we have hail storms. Brite Tek would seem to be logical, but what about tree limbs and the Texas sun?

Thanks

  • Fiberglass will outlast the motorhome if properly cared for.
    Brite Tek has a 20 year service life.
    The question then would be; is the extra cost of fiberglass worth it to you? It will make no difference in the value down the road, but may be a good selling point in private sale.
