I've read a lot about problematic roof leaks with Class C homes. Seems like they develop pretty easy with motion from travel. Thoughts?

But my thoughts are, if you are truly interested in a CLASS C, it's better you go ahead and get one, even if it ends up leaking and you have some disappointments, than to never do it and always wonder what it would be like. Beside, you might get lucky and get the ONE that never has a leak. They are out there too you know!x2Regular preventative maintenance (resealing, etc.) and regular inspection after a rain will keep any leaking to a minimum. If you want to park it and ignore it for the winter, you will have problems.

It all about maintenance. Do it and you’ll be fine.

Any RV will leak if it's not properly maintained. Eternabond and Dicor are your friends.

We had a 26' Class C for a couple of seasons. It was something of an orphan. Ours was a Winnebago version, but we found out later that the model had been a Winnie for only about 9 months of its production life. They sold the design off to another manufacturer.We bought it to "see if we liked RVing". We did, but that thing was a turkey, mainly because of its odd-ball layout and equipment. It was a 198-something with a carb equipped Ford 460. Enough anti-smog gear to get the space shuttle a street license and 5 mpg (average) at sea level.On the plus side, we never had any problems with water ingress. It was a very solidly built rig, rectangular steel-tube body frame with aluminum skin. We managed to sell it through a local dealer's consignment plan and didn't lose too much from our original purchase price.Subsequently, we bought a 32' Class A, which we used for four seasons before giving up the RV life.

This is our B+ with the Fiberlass cap as Scottiemom noted, not a leak in the front area.

They say "Water always wins. That's why there's a Grand Canyon." Seriously, constant water on a flat roof along with all that movement. But we have a 2003 Class C with a fiberglass roof and have only had leakage with one area near the front overhang at a seam, so not too bad.

In 25+ years the only leak I had in my Class C was from a side window which prompted me to remove and reseal all the side windows (all RV's should have there windows resealed eventually).
