Well, that's pretty much all of 'em except an Airstream and maybe an alumalite...
Yeah thankfully we don't see many aluminum roofs anymore and fiberglass roofs are far and few between.
Having been in the rv/mobilehome repair business I avoid all metal roofs if possible on rv trailers.
My '97 32' trailer has a rubber roof with no issues and much less maintenance issues than some of my previous aluminum roof rv truck campers and rv trailers.
I guess we had the opposite experience with an aluminum roof. We had a 1988 Jayco 2850 FW with an aluminum roof. I barely maintained it, and it never had a problem for the 15 years we owned the trailer and stored it outside through 15 Michigan winters.
