Final update on my roof saga.
In looking at their website, it seems that one manufacturer of rubber roof sheeting, Alfa rubber, has a record of the exact type of problem I had after a couple of years after application. The symptoms described on the website match mine completely. Proguard has an improved product that eliminates this problem.
ProGuard provided me with enough of this new product to completely re-do my roof. My son, grandson, and I got the job done yesterday. I used the primer and topcoat that the manufacturer sent me and the roof look just as good now as it did when I purchased the trailer about 14 years ago. I am completely flabberglasted and happy that they were able to provide a solution to my problem and am 100 percent satisfied and happy with the result.
Here are some pictures of the process we went through and the final results. I climbed up on the roof today and replaced the vent covers that we removed for the painting.
Once again I would like to thank the manufacturer for stepping up to the plate and solving what I thought was going to be a huge problem.

Mixing Primer

Ready to paint. (grandson helping)

Applying Primer(Blue Proflex Primer). You can see the alligator type surface we are painting over.

Primer complete and my son is starting to apply white topcoat (Moisture Cure) after about a three hour wait.

Topcoat completed Note that the Alligator type surface is completely gone and the surface is now very smooth. :)

Over all view of roof minus MaxxFan vent covers.
