what roof material is this

I am new to the RV world. I bought a used 2012 2250se Sunseeker with 52k on it. Engine is fine but found roof leaks. When buying I was not smart enough to check the roof. Long story, but I think I have leaks stopped. but it begs the question what kind o material is this on the roof. It seems more like Fiberglass then rubber. It is more rigid than a rubber roof would be. Any help please!

That looks like my fiberglass roof. Keep the dicor on the seems ands penetrations fresh and you should have no more leaks

It's fiberglass! Clean-up the caulk with mineral spirits, apply new dicor and apply eternabond tape to all the seams. Leaks are the enemy and eternabond will stop them!

Welcome! We bought the same unit in October with only 10K miles on it! We have a TV and storage in the cab over instead of a bed. You?

And yes, the roof is fiberglass.

Fiberglass for sure. Check on the sides of the roof on top for exposed screw heads. None of ours had any dicor covering them. Mineral spirits cleaned that up and then the dicor.

We have a bed up there as well as the tv. I love the lay out. I feel I got a great deal and actually 50k for five years is not all that bad especially with highway miles. Thanks for the fiber glass confirmation. My next task is to use eternabond. I have it ordered
