New folks from LA, that's Lower Alabama

We are using a 2017 "Solitude 321" 5th wheel now by Grand Design. Visits with travel friends have convinced us that a Class A coach will be the better vehicle for our retirement vacation plans. Thought are toward buying a Canyon Star (gas coach) made by Newmar.
Can anyone advise one way or another on this model? Does the Canyon Star have a F/glass roof system, & any problems with leaks at slide outs?

Newmar makes good rigs, we've had two DSDP's. Our first one, a 2000 3865, had the fiberglass roof. The second one had the Bright Tek, it is not rubber. The Brite Tek was actually quieter plus the material had a 12 yr warranty, the fiberglass only had a two year warranty.
The web site https://www.newmarcorp.com/gas-motor...star/features/ shows that the BriteTek is standard with the fiberglass as an option.
I would recommend the Polar Pak option too. We ordered that in the '02 DSDP, cost then was minimal (less than $100 back then) but well worth it.
