so you are saying that KZ never used felt backed TPO?
"Never" is a l-o-n-g time but certainly my KZ Spree used TPO without a fleece backing, which was easy to determine by just pulling the vent garnish in the bathroom - mine was white on both sides, no fleece backing. Unfortunately Jayco did use fleece backed TPO for a time until customer complaints led to the discovery of this problem. This issue didn't rear it's ugly head until the patent ran out on TPO and other players then got into the game, producing a product that in some cases was problematic for the RV manufacturers. Once Dicor discovered TPO was being produced with varying polymer formulations they developed their 2-part UltraSealant system but in the meantime it was the RV manufacturers who were blamed for this debacle when in fact it was the TPO suppliers who were at fault.
