My Cougar EDPM roof is in good shape with no leaks. To help keep it that way I am planning on getting some 6" Eternabond tape for some preventative medicine. Putting it across the front and rear...

I would overlap the seams.
Any transverse seams should have their leading edges overlapped by the one in front of it.You don't want water and air pushing under the tape.
This is where Dicor or a similar self leveling sealant is needed for sealing out water/air flow intrusion especially on the front edge of the first layer of tape on the front cap and a OEM professional look.
Keep in mind you don't want to create a dam affect up there for water to sit.
Lots of youtubes from professional folks on the net or on Dicor website on how to's.
The OP also needs to think about resale and roof warranty and future repairs before adding any tape for sealant purposes to his trailers roof. A google on the subject has lots of pros and cons on the subject.
