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...

So basically what I said????
No, the glue did not fail. The air intruding under the Rubber caused the rubber to pull loose. BIG difference. HOW do you think we remove the old rubber when we replace the Roof?????? Doug
You blow on it?
People like you we fire as customers. You are not worth the BS you bring. To answer your STUPID response--you cut in strips and PULL it off the decking. It takes a LOT of strength to rip those small strips OFF a correctly glued roof. So, this shows the force of wind at 60 mph getting under the Rubber and pulling it loose to bubble. To also answer your stupid response, if glue failed why do you not see bubbling at the middle or rear of a rubber roof in transit? Because there is no place for the wind to get under at those spots.

I understand the point you are making about the difference between glue failing in place vs. glue failing due to an effect (air under edge) that is outside the design parameter that the glue was engineered for.
Since you are experinced with roof repair, do you have some advice on the difference between the rubber and fiberglass roofs? Can you recommend a preference? I am dealing on a Monaco right now which has a fiberglass roof. Anything I shoul be checkng besides the obvious seal along the front edge?
