This is bad advice. There are many types of roofing material that people lump into the rubber roof category so do some reading.

Some roofing materials, like TPO, can last a very long time if maintained properly and the maintenance is no more difficult than on a fiberglass roof.

a TPO roof is NOT the same as a rubber (EPDM) roof. so what is the "bad advice".?

Correct. It has 3 letters in stead of 4. It is still a cheaper and not as good as fiberglass IMO.

but TPO is more desirable than rubber (EPDM) IMHO.

No problems with the fibreglass skin. Regularly check the sides where the roof skin goes into the extrusion on top of the sidewall. We found the first cracks in the adhesive after about 5 years. It was a fairly simple repair, scrape/clean out old adhesive and then put in the new, its a Manusbond sp?? adhesive caulk.
Goes without saying, check all the caulking.
Winnebago sealants.
