Holy moly. I was hoping that a "newer" trailer than what I had would mean less work. I've already got a lot of stuff I have to do around my house and upkeep on my vehicles, plus spend time with the wife and 3 little boys. I don't know if a newer trailer is in the cards for me at this time, at least not one with a 10 year old rubber roof that will need constant babysitting. Maybe if I could store it inside I would feel better about it, but that is not possible.
Thanks everyone for your comments and experience. Maybe I'll run into a good old aluminum roof model in the future.
I think your looking at this from the "glass is half empty" perspective. I have a 20 year old TT with a rubber roof. This year I did use some sealant on the edges that were showing some wear. Other then that it has never had anything done to it. You can tell by looking at it. I will say that I've only owned this unit for a couple of years and I have no idea if it was stored outside or inside before that. But, I store it inside.
But, it's true of TT; just like everything else; that the older it is the better it was made.
