Here is a 40+ year old molded fiberglass Motorhome that my father in law owns. The top seam has split and it leaks like a sieve now. They can all leak, even airstreams can leak
The floors are destroyed along with the interior. The issue with water is that even though the fiberglass holds up everything else deteriorates. The other issue is that fiberglass WILL deteriorate eventually. Especially once water gets to the non gel coat side.
Thanks!

Hot direct sunlight also does damage to fiberglass over long periods of time. Check out an old fiberglass boat that has been setting outside without a cover, in places like Phoenix Arizona. They will have little cracks all over them.
