... I am also an engineer & intrigued by the thought that a fiberglass eggshell is less likely to leak?

- One of their marketing hypes is less propensity for leaking due to fewer roof seams (along wall/roof edges). However, they still have roof vents and A/C which breach the solid roof. Is the method of sealing the roof seams similar to conventional trailers and if so, how is this any better?
This intrigues me also !
The Jayco Magnum roof is arched to prevent any puddling, but it still has a seam along the edge and seamed are where most leaks occur. So flashing and caulking on Oliver roof vents and A/C unit is something to inspect carefully.
