Rubber roof is a deal breaker. I'd expect something like that on a $15,000 travel trailer, where it is expected for you to go up with a roll of Eternabond to fix punctures.
Not on a $100,000 MSRP motorhome. The ideal there should be a seamless roof made from aluminum and cupped 3-4 inches down the sides. Next to that, a fiberglass roof like what Winnebago uses. A rubber roof is almost an insult, unless Jayco is willing to pay for RV Roof or a similar place to do an epoxy elastomer coating on top, ensuring there are no leak-prone seams.
Didn't Jayco get bought out? I wonder if that can impact quality of models made.
