Does this roof need work?
We looked at a fifth wheel yesterday and really like the floor plan. But it has some delamination that makes me think at one point it had a leak. The delimitation is on one section in the back left ...

However you do certainly have rot in the roof as the video showing you pushing on the roofing material with no backing underneath. At the least you'll need a new roof and underlayment.
Just so it's clear I don't think the roof decking has rotted. The roofing material that I pushed on and appears to have no backing is because the edge of the roof is raised higher than the majority of the roof. It has a lip on the edge. Seems like the roofing cover was stretched from the decking up and over the lip at the edge. In the video I am pushing at this gap where the material angles up to the lip. My intention in posting the video was to show how it chaffed when I rubbed my finger on it. I could not press my finger through the roof material despite trying somewhat but it did chaffe the material as you saw which made me think it was dried out and perhaps due for replacement????
I hear all the comments about there being alot of inventory to look at but in my little bit of searching I do not find many under 30-32' trailers or fifth wheels with King beds but will keep looking.
