avoid a rubber roof.
Although you may have some personal foundation for your dislike of EPDM rubber roof membrane it's a bit silly to warn someone else to "avoid" it since the vast majority of recreational vehicle roof membranes these days are in fact EPDM rubber. Do that and one would instantly and vastly reduce potential make / models from consideration based on that limitation alone. :R Fact is, there are millions of RVs with rubber roofs in use every day, year after year, with no issues at all, the key being regular inspection and maintenance as required. Between EPDM or TPO vinyl I'd prefer the latter myself having previously owned a KZ Spree with one but the roof type is nevertheless the last thing on my list of considerations when choosing just which trailer to buy. Neither should the OP let this dictate which trailer he should buy. :)
