Reroofing follow up
Back in Sept. I reroofed our 08 Gulfbreeze Gulf stream 26 w/ a rear slide. It had felt back TPO and had wicked up a bunch of moisture thru the top of the rain gutter as well as a failed front fairing ...

I wonder how much mold you have inside the walls - and while you can't see delam now I wouldn't be surprised that it's something that going to show up down the road.
I have no doubt there will be some issues. Bought it very short and have invested very little other than time, so if I can get a few seasons out of it I will be way ahead. Had all the corner trim off to reseal with new putty tape when doing the roof, definitely some moisture and black mold in the worst areas. Let a few of the worst spots dry out and bonded back together with Gorilla Glue and custom clamps. Surprisingly these areas are showing the least amounts of dampness now. If I had been able to leave the roof open for a few days in an enclosed space , pretty sure there would have been no issues now. There was very little "evidence" of any leaking. The only way I knew the roof needed attention was the soft spots along the roof above the rain gutters for 6" to a foot. Good reason to get up there often and walk around.
If I was to do it again, would opt for waterproof components for the underlayment. Fully encapsulated marine ply or even 1/2 Azak. Would have doubled the cost of the roof, but never would have had to worry about it again.
Considering FRP (fiberglass reinforced panels) for some of the ceiling sections. Has anyone used this stuff for ceiling panels?
Some pics of the reroof.
