Here is the scoop. The walls are a layer of fibreglass 1/8" plywood, foam, 1/8" plywood. The door is a thin layer of fibreglass outside (no aluminum or plywood) foam and a layer of aluminum on the inside. The roof is one piece, Layer of fibreglass 1/8" plywood, the flat part of the roof is the same as the walls however the curved parts of the roof front and back has wood ribs in it and it is filled with fiberglass insolation. Test: Push with your thumb on the flat part of the roof, you'l find it is solid push the same in the curve and you find it is very flexible.

My wall out to in are layers of fiberglass, wood, foam, wood. I have not cut through the roof but I damaged it a little at the back when I tore off a stableizer (before I put the axle lifts on) and It was a fiberglass laminate on the outside. ]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:43:11 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3121&PID=29657#29657 Pod Roof Material? : The R-Pod factory site specifies... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3121&PID=29656#29656 Author: Keith-N-Dar

The R-Pod factory site specifies a "one piece seamless fiberglass roof."  And I know that is what mine is since I poked a hole in it the first time I backed it into a site.  Mine is a 2011.  It may have been otherwise at another time.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:35:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3121&PID=29656#29656 Pod Roof Material? : A forum member stated that the... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3121&PID=29654#29654 Author: TIDALWAVE

A forum member stated that the Pod roof is made of fiberglas. My Pod has a sticker which says that it is aluminum clad. Also, I installed a porthole in my door. I encountered a thin layer of aluminum, a layer of foam, and another thin layer of aluminum.
Are the doors constructed of a different sandwich of materials than the roof and walls?]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:50:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3121&PID=29654#29654
