Roof type - leaks
I had a bad experience when a travel trailer we had ended up getting a leak I think you can figure out what eventually happened.. We are looking at getting a 28-30 foot class c motor home something...

My 2018 Sunseeker has a fiberglass roof which gets washed with soap and water. I would not want any kind of rubber roof again. I had to maintain it using special treatments too often to want to do that again. I’ve owned 2 TPO and 5 rubber roof models and like the fiberglass the best.
No issues so far. However, i do a visual if i scrape it on low tree branches. All it takes is a branch to bite into some caulk and create a gap.
This happens on all roof material. You have to get up there and check your roof often. You can’t be lazy , they all need attention to prevent leaks.
I know of a SS rental dealership that has never complained about any roof issues.
If you're on the island, rain/water intrusion will be a major consideration for you.
I agree with bobndot about fiberglass versus rubber. It's durable, but nothing is perfect and "if you want to stay dry, you'll have to get high" (up on the roof once on a while, or if you suspect damage has occurred).
Good luck with it.
