What can you guys tell me about the Aluminum roof that was used on a 2005 HR? Where do they rate in comparison to a fiberglass roof or a rubber roof? What is good about them? What is bad about them?
Its kinda like this, our old house has the tiners tin on it, well when Floyd came trough, some of the tin was blown off from the high winds. Our insurance company, told us they would they would replace the roof completely with plywood & shingles if we agreed, so the wife was considering it until I asked her how long that tin roof had been on the house. She replyed, as long as I can remember & as far has she knew the house was built in the early 40s & you want to replace that with cheap 15 year shingles. Didnt take her long to call our insurance company back. So, as the saying goes, why have something that has failure engineered into it.
If I had to say what would be the number one problem with an RV, it would have to be roof leaks, because when you get one, that RV is on its way to destruction. One other note, lot of the early H/Rs have aluminum body framing, aluminum square tubing welded together, not 2X2 sticks screwed or glued to each other.
