Under trees, whether driving mistakes or falling limbs, what rips fabric can still be just a scuff-mark on the heavier Filon sheeting. It is not as heavy as a molded fiberglass cap (e.g. used on upper end Newmars) firmly backed up by being sandwiched with a foam core.
It eventually fades, discolors, but is unlikely to weather through in a human lifetime. Advantage over a comparable aluminum skin is no corrosion of the plastic.
But Winnebago is not the best made rig. It is a rig made to a range of mass markets, with the advantage over some competitors in the same price ranges of partially automated productions and a formal quality management system. "Best made" usually implies "cost is no object" and Winnebago does not build for the market category where prices start at $800K and go well over $2,000,000 so every piece can be the best available, everything carefully hand-crafted.
