Why wood roof trusses?
Keystone has metal roof trusses that connect to aluminum walls. ORV has wood trusses that attach to aluminum walls. Keystone roof insulation is R16 and ORV's is R21. Why do manufacturers still...

So the conumer has to cover for poor material and construction to line the big RV mmfg pockets. Not me. We should demand better.
I don't know any Mfgs that use marine plywood for roof decks and subfloors but there may be one. The cost, weight, and application don't demand it. One tragedy is the adoption of a foam core composite panel for floors. That is a very poor use of those sandwich panels as they don't handle loads well against the surface of the panel but do well with loads on the edge like walls. I'd bet that a builder that was making composite wall panels and was all tooled up for such, has a hard time breaking away from them for floors and roofs.
