Cost of new fiberglass roof on a 32' Winnie

A rubber roof is usually in the area of $8 grand. Being your rig is longer and fiberglass that sounds reasonable.

As long as your insurance pays for it and it only costs you your deductible, I say who cares the cost.

A recent wind incident here in So. Cal. resulted in about half our roof being torn off. I do have comprehensive so the cost is minimal but I would like to hear from anyone who had had to replace a fiberglass roof. We were quoted a months delay and $13,000 for a complete replacement.

Those winds were incredible. I've never seen anything like that before. I haven't heard any forecasts for the southlands, but the SLO Tribune is calling for 70 mph winds and seven inches of rain. They really need the water, but not like that.

Good luck with your claim.

Ouch. $13k is approaching totaling that unit. Quick value shows $17-20k value.
IMO that gives you options. If the total repair estimate is high enough, I'd be looking into a total and buy back scenario too.
RV is basically 20 years old, so a documented rebuilt title with pics to back up the roof replacement, overall might be a financial win.
If you want to play that game. ( I would consider it, especially if I was planning on keeping it alot longer)

If your insurance company isn’t balking at the repair/replacement price, why are you? That’s what insurance adjusters do...ok repair prices.

Another vote for surprised that the insurance company didn't total it.

As long as the insurance company is paying, who cares what it costs. Makes sense as it's probably at least a semi-custom job to make a new roof for a 20yr old out of production model (unlike rubber roofs which are cut to fit)

Fiberglass and epoxy must be painted as the epoxy will deteriorate with UV exposure.

Just joining this thread to follow, as we have the Itasca sister unit to yours.

Our roof started blowing off above the driver (me) as we were driving in Kansas in 2019. Pulled over immediate when we heard what sounded like a gunshot (the initial popping out of the track on the side). Fortunately we were able to get it fixed. Else I believe our trip would have been over.

Good luck with yours.

I don't think there's epoxy involved, it's just a layer of filon, like the sidewalls.

A near miss tornado took ours off on a Sightseer 35'. It was for sale. I was hoping Progressive would total it but they had it re-roofed for about $12K.

I have nothing to add to the insurance part of the discussion.

However, should you find yourself involved in the choices of what to do? May I suggest looking at Rhino Bed Liner. There was some talk of people considering using it. If memory serves me, it was pretty highly touted. It is mixed for a specific application, so a certain amount of flex is called for, for an RV roof. Tough stuff, durable, water proof.
