Overwhelmed with choices of motorhomes
This is our first purchase of a motorhome. We have narrowed it down to these 3: Fleetwood, Thor, or Georgetown. Can anyone give me pros or cons of each? Our budget is <$100,000 and we like the bunk...

My first gasoline coach had a rubber roof. I liked it because when it rains or hail falls it is real quiet. But while driving in Florida going to Penny Thompson RV park there were some trees that had not been trimmed by the city and it put a tear about four inches on the rubber roof.
Now I have a solid fiber glass roof on this other coach, but you can hear the rain or hail when we have it. But the roof must be braced pretty solid because when I walk up there it does not flex at all. But again it did require me to get up there and do some caulking once a year UNTIL I got fed up with the caulking thing, so I Eternabonded all the seams. I never get up there anymore like I used to.
So in conclusion the rubber roof was not bad, but you do have to be careful with trees.
The fiberglass a much better roof, but if you do not seal the joints well, you could have problems.
Most of your entry level coaches are going to have rubber or Brite tex on them anyways. Very few will have the fiberglass roof. Most of the middle or upper class will have the fiberglass roof.
