TPO Roofs
Got a quick question which I believe I already know the answer to but some of you have more experience with TPO roofs because you have them on your camper. Went to look at the Grand Design 2150 yes...

Exactly bumpy. The fact is that rubber or tpo roofs have a finite life. Period. They will eventually deteriorate to the point that you can't coat or seal them, etc. Is aluminum perfect? No it's not. It requires you to check/maintain your calk joints twice per year. If you do that it'll stay leak free. The roof on my Layton is one piece and remains uncoated and looks great yet.
I inquired at Jayco one time about ordering a tt with an aluminum roof and was told it was not possible. Tpo/rubber roofs come with a 12yr warranty. When that's up, the roof is about shot and the cost to install a new one is more than the trailer is worth.
No thanks.
and that 12 year "warranty" is for the materials only. not to remove and replace.
