Winnebago uses two types of construction methods on their fiberglass roofs:
1) One method gives you a flat roof with the roof's side edges joining the coach sidewalls inside a molded strip. (probably the least costly for them)
2) Another method gives your a curved ("crowned") roof with rolled side edges molded right into the rest of the roof. These rolled edges nicely overlap (about 3 inches) the sidewalls. (probably expensive for them)
Method 2) is the best for strength on top (giving less cracks over time in the top fiberglass sheets), and long-term leak-proofness along the side edges.
I just looked at the Winnebago site again for photos showing the rears of their current Class C motorhomes. Their Access Premier line appears to use method 1) for the roofs. Their Aspect line appears to use method 2) for the roofs.
Reading their Class C "Overviews" of the two lines, it looks like Winnebago considers the Aspect line as the more upscale one - hence with the superior roof construction.
A used Aspect Winnebago Class C might be the better unit.
