replacing rubber roof with alum
Has anyone heard of someone putting aluminum back on instead of rubber, not planning on doing it just a thought my roof is 16 years old so gotta be around the corner.

I'm actually surprised that more RVs don't use aluminum; seems like everyone complains about the rubber/EDPM roofs.
Too expensive, if it's a single piece on a big trailer.
Punctures and other damages are more difficult to deal with.
Those that complain about EPDM, are usually past 11-12 years. Replacement costs run 2K-4K if done in a shop - probably less than the price difference between new models with EPDM and aluminum, for a big trailer. Many people opt for DIY recoating EPDM roof with liquid rubber, few hundred bucks cost, good for some years.
