I've read that roof leaks are a chronic problem. Any recommendations?

Having previously owned Jayco and Fleetwood I wouldn't buy anything but a Fleetwood as it had the best lift system by far in the business and was the only manufacturer to use breathable Sunbrella tenting.

Too many ABS Strata roofs also failed so the best choice is either a seamless Filon or aluminum skin roof used on post 2007 models or a conventional aluminum skin with a single centre seam.
