Tom,
I agree that is what we have been told by the RV makers, but...is it because it is easier and cheaper to do it that way?? I know there are many very good fibrelass boat hulls that take a beating in the ocean - and they are one-piece hulls, not a bunch of panels stuck together. Is there an engineer among us for some enlightenment??
The difference between a fiberglass boat and an RV is that the fiberglass on an RV is mounted to a steel or aluminum frame. The steel frame and the fiberglass panels have to work together. Lock the fiberglass in one piece and something has to give. It isn't going to be the frame.
