In my opinion (FWIW!) rubber roofs - or more precisely, TPO - are much better than fiberglass. It’s just simply a better product for the purpose. Older rubber roofs, before TPO, were not that great and higher end coaches often had fiberglass. It became the gold standard but as already pointed out it is heavy, expensive, subject to fading and chalking and is more difficult to repair if damaged. I liken it to the use of copper plumbing in home construction. It was the gold standard for many years and many homeowners and builders demanded “nothing less”. But PEX is better in every way and finally won the day. Maybe just because all of the old timers died - or at least stopped building new houses!
