Hi all, are the new ATC camper roofs one piece or two? If they are two pieces, are they screwed down? Asking to see if they are like the older FWC campers and couldn't find the answer on the website...thx

My 2¢...  They have a seam, but I believe it’s that way from the source.  The ATC roof is Also screwed down, which I believe is a better construction technique, and stronger.   My Grandby oil canned, my Bobcat roof was bullet proof.

To the best of my knowledge they are two piece and screwed down. And in my opinion, 100 times better than FWC's one piece. If I had the money to spend, I would have ATC replace the roof and canvas on my 2013 FWC.

ATC gets the entire assembled roof delivered. Although 2 pieces - seam down the middle,  joined at the manufacturer under pressure - it is essentially a one piece roof. It is also more robust and rigid than the original  2 piece roof used in the older FWC's.

As other ATC owners IMO their roof is the best.

Two piece factory joined and screwed down.

No problems with my 10 year old roof.

PS Welcome to the cult.

Are you considering a ATC camper check them out and ask/compare.

Lots of info on this site.

IMO they are the BEST.
