What's the better roof?

Not familiar with TPO other than it is a rolled roofing material. Fiberglass will degrade with UV exposure so it must be painted or have a UV resistant coating.

Pros and Cons of TPO Roofing

Well,
Our '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT, is now 14 years old and the fiberglass roof is in flawless condition. I do wash it once in a while and, when needed, a coat of regular auto wax. We've camped in extreme weather all over and so far, no degradation yet. Our previous coach, a '99 Fleetwood Bounder, had a rubber roof. At right close to 7-8 years old, about 90% of the "white" on that roof, had degraded to almost all black so, I had to do a fancy surface prep and coating with some Dicor coating. It was very nice after that but, I swore I'd never have a rubber roof again.
