as we look for a small motor home I feel from what ive seen the nexus 23p is our best bet for not having a leak in roof and front cap. we have considered class b and feel the price is high for the roo...

"One thing that places the Nexus a little lesser in regards to construction, is the seamed corners in the cab-over area and around the rear wall. And I think they don't roll the fiberglass roof over to the sides like Phoenix does as shown here."
The one piece fiberglass roof on my 2012 23P is rolled with no seamed corners. The one piece front and end caps overlap the roof (by about 6").
Never said this process was new, just better. Your Jayco may be put together in similar fashion but doubt you will find any Azdel. They probably used plywood or Luan both of which when exposed to moisture will absorb it like a sponge. Azdel is the key component that insures you will never have leak/mold moisture related problems down the road.

No, not correct, Nexus vacuum bonds the walls in multiple layers: first the outside layer (fiberglass), then a layer of Azdel, a layer of foam insulation, and then another layer of Azdel. These are subjected to a vacuum and the resin/glue is injected. Here is a picture of the vacuum press I took while touring the factory in Elkhart:

Vacuum-bond sidewalls and roofs is not a new process. Our 10-year old rig has them. I would imagine most if not all similar-priced-level motorhomes use the same process.
As was mentioned the materials used do vary.
