We had a Damon Escaper 36' 5th wheel that had an all fiberglass roof as well as wall and front and back caps. Made to look like nearly all one piece. Unless you somehow punched a hole in the roof, they was no way it was going to leak. I don't understand why they are all not built that way. Cars and trucks have solid roofs that don't leak, so why shouldn't campers have the same setup. Leaks seems to be one of most discussed and damaging problems with campers, when it seems it would be fairly simple to build them of reinforced fiberglass with a gel coat and just eliminate all leaking problems so we could get back to worrying about the torgue on the lug nuts or something else.
