We recently had a Progressive Insurance adjuster check the damage to our awning from a sudden thunderstorm while in Mesa Verde. While he was on the roof he mentioned making sure to reseal a few seams that were cracking on our TPO roof before the rainy season starts.
Later, we were conversing and I mentioned our desire to upgrade to a DP for a possible round the country trip with our kids. He made an unsolicited comment about the problems he has seen with Winnebago's fiberglass roof system and advised to stay away from it.
He said the factory won't cover it, they claim it's a maintenance issue and that in many cases it's out of warranty. He actually stated that occasionally insurance won't cover it in some cases when it was very evident that preventive maintenance was never performed.
Just wanted to pass on professional's take on the situation.
