EPDM/rubber roofs on buildings have flat roofs also.
They're not truly flat as the membrane is put over tapered insulation or the structure itself is designed to a minimum slope of 1/4"/ft. Every manufacturer of EPDM systems, Firestone, Carlyle, etc have warranty reps that inspect new installations and certify the roof for the warranty. If there is standing water they will not certify it.
We had a 2011 Dutchmen Aerolite with a flat roof. It never had a leak but having water on it constantly was always in the back of my mind. Used to be a lot of brands had flat roofs. Certain Rockwood and Jayco lines for sure, but they changed the construction at some point.
From the OP's experience, it seems you get the same build and service issues with Lance as you do with all the others while having the benefit of paying more to get it.I
