What is a TPO roof? I have had two Class C's and now a Class A. I have cleaned the roofs and my Bounder seems to be rubber...I washed it once and have had no problems with any of the roofs. Bounder is parked in my barn when not in use. I know there are rubber and metal roofs but don't know which a TPO roof is....explain please. Thanks.
I am looking hard at a Tiffin DP 32BR Breeze at my local dealer. Also looked at Fleetwood Bounders, Thor and Winnebagos. I have a friend with a 2013 Breeze. He is a long time RVer and has had four DP units. He like his Breeze with few minor problems....easily fixed.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin - it's a sheet material. very durable and flexible which makes it ideal for RV's. Certainly one would think a solid surface material is more durable, but not so fast. All RV roofs have seams and holes so no matter what you have they all can leak. The seams are what require care and I don't care what type you have. Fiberglass is probably the most durable, but if it cracks or breaks the cost is exponential to fix compared to TPO. Many RVers have gone for decades with the original TPO so it's really not as bad as what the fiberglass owners will tell you. Like all things RV related, you pay more for a solid surface roof.
