Fiberglass roofs
Our Motor Home has a fiberglass roof, which I really like, as it is all one piece. Do any of the current builders or coaches still have these?? I have seen a lot of damage and failures on the rubber...

Personally I haven't seen a lot of failures on TPO roofs and I've seen a lot of RV's. Maybe I am not looking in the same places as the OP. Each roof type has it's merits and shortfalls. TPO is pretty tough stuff but can be damaged easier than fiberglass. That said it's also much easier and cheaper to repair than fiberglass when there is an issue. The fiberglass roofs on some manufacturers are paper thin and recently there have been a rash of winnies with their roofs peeling back in the wind. All roofs require maintenance and care to ensure they don't fail. Given a preference I'd probably prefer fiberglass over TPO, but all I've ever had was TPO and never had an issue. It's a nice to have but I wouldn't make it a deal breaker.
