I never said anything about the roof blowing off and killing people, however there have been many reports of them blowing off.
By the same token I've never heard of a rubber roof blowing off. Ballooning yes, blowing off, no. And a ballooning rubber roof doesn't leak. :W
I think the biggest issue is the continued use of a known poor design.
I'm not saying rubber is better, but it sure is better than missing fiberglass.
This whole thread is a perfect example of "fiberglass roof" doesn't always mean "quality roof".
I'd take our the BriteTek roof on our Newmar over the fiberglass system Winnie uses - every single time.
