replacing trailer roof advice

I need to replace the roof on my 5er and plan on doing it myself with help from friends.  The local RV shops around here want $5k to start "and it could go up from there".   Right now it has an EPDM rubber roof; so has anyone replaced theirs, what did you use, and how hard was it todo?

Sounds like he wants new roof being he doesnt know how much wood damage and get up on roof now versus 10 years from now.

RV roofs suck.  By now you would think somebody would of come up with a Tupperware lid type roof to just snap on. 

 

I hear what you are saying Thanks for helping me to understand......... Your avatar keeps making me think your forum name is 'Super Mopar'. I like that avatar, but your idea of a tupperware roof would sell that brand of RV like hot cakes.

Would you have to "burp" it before snapping it shut.

No easier when your older.  Wife had hip replacement at 71 and doc said one of the easier hip replacements he's done.  He said her hip was bone on bone for so long with no cartilage in between bones that old hip bones just fell out.  Couldn't operate earlier because of all cancer meds and blood thinners.  So I guess when you get older bones just fall out:)

Now her sister 67, my age is still on cane from knee replacement over 1 year ago.  Hell getting old I guess.  

But I made it through school without google:thumb1:

Had my left hip replaced on February 4.   It was so easy that I was out looking at cars after 3 weeks and working a week after that.  I still don't want to be on a roof when I'm 70 something doing this job.
