Roof choice

Rubber roof or 1 piece fiberglass? Which is the best?

Thank you all!

are you sure the roof what you want to compare is rubber? or tpo?

FG wins for performance only
TPO is an obvious winner on price/performance

does any manufacturer actually use rubber today?

A fiberglass roof would be the better choice but should not be a deal breaker in itself. Either type roof will last with periodic inspection and maintenance using proper cleaning and sealants .

Answered the way you asked, FG all the way.

But... A neglected coach with FG will leak and a maintained coach with rubber won't. Think of all the places a roof is penetrated. Vents, Antenna, Air Conditioner, let along all the Edges.

Also, presence of an FG roof might mean the coach builder took better care in other areas that are also important. FG "end caps" are better than those formed with siding material, for example.

It's easier to build a list of FG roof benefits than one of rubber benefits.
