Winnebago minnie construction
Long time reader first time poster. My family of four is in the market for a travel trailer. We have quite a bit of experience with travel trailers as we have always had free access to a forest river ...

I am curious what Winnebago had a fiberglass roof actually? A motor home possibly, but to my knowledge they never made a travel trailer with a fiberglass roof. In fact until they bought out Sunnybrook in 2010 they did not make a TT at all.....correct?
All winnebago motorhomes in the relatively recent past (20+ years) have had fiberglass roofs. yes, they bought out TT manufacturers since they did not have adequate space in Iowa to construct a factory in/near their facility. In fact I fussed at them years back for not going into the towing market, or re-entering it as I think they "might" have had a TT eons ago, and was given the lack of space excuse. I suggested that they could buy out a current mfr. and evidently that is what they did. Not that my fussing had anything to do with that decision.
On one of my tours of the winnie facility the guide mentioned a non fiberglass roof unit and when I asked her which one that was, she paused , thought a while and said that they all were FG.
I believe that there are many TTs out there being built with a fiberglass roof that goes from front and up over and across, but most I have seen like that are smaller units.
