TPO roof: any more issues vs fiberglass roof?

[Bob Denman]

I wonder heat would have happened; if the crack had been discovered, earlier?
A warranty repsir??

I’m sure. Had a fellow camper tell me his roof cracked and the manufacturer paid to replace the entire roof under warranty. He was happy and impressed. I’d hate to have someone do that unless it was at the factory service center.

That would seem like the best place to handle something that extensive.

Well I do know TPO roof's cannot stop a falling bullet (nothing more malicious than some New Years day celebrations nearby my storage lot at the time).

Not sure a fiberglass roof would have stopped that either. It may have but not without a nice crater.

Yikes! Never know when you might need a Kevlar roof.

Thoughts/experiences on TPO versus EPDM ?

[71_340]

I had a fiberglass roof on two Winnebagos and thought they were God's gift to RV roofs.

I changed my mind when I scrap out the sealant/adhesive and replace it on my 31' Class A where the roof meets the sidewalls. If not done in time and correctly the roof will peel of while driving. That was a total of about 60' worth of sh...t work.

I currently have a TPO roof and I am happy with it. It's still fairly new so I didn't have to use sealer yet. When the time comes it's just plain old Dicor, not the expensive and harder to get Manus 75.

Fiberglass vs TPO roof: just roof skin? or whole roof? What supports a person to walk on roof?

The framework beneath whatever is covering it?
