PCV Roofing - is this as good as salesman say it is?

Azdel will continue to gain in usage amongst manufacturers. It’s manufactured here in Virginia, hopefully it stays that way.

IMHO they are all cheap alternatives. The industry has know for decades a one piece, seemless aluminum roof requires very minimal maintenace (basic ocasional cauliking around AC, vents, etc) and will last longer than the trailer itself. No seams to leak, no rubber/viny/plastic compounds to degrade, no UV degradation. It's not perfect, but a much better solution. You don't see cars/pickups running around with a PVC/TPO/rubber roof... wonder why...

I've seen a few custom trailers done this way, its not hard. The metal comes in seemless rolls. The material is rolled out, cut to length, through holes for AC, vents, etc, cut, then the whole thing is bonded to the roof structure (no screw or rivet holes).

Unfortunately the RV industry is largely in a race to the bottom to build as cheap as possible and maximize profits, so I doubt you'll see this as an option anytime soon.
