Those prices sound pretty much in the ball park. Some have mentioned before that replacing a rubber roof was/is considerably cheaper. Well, yes and no. It is IF, and that's a huge IF, YOU DO THE LABOR YOURSELF. Doing it exactly right, without going into a ton of detail, is extremely time consuming and laborious.
I've had friends that have had their rubber roof replaced. One was on a 30' fifth wheel trailer and, the other was on a 2002 Fleetwood Discovery. Both were in excess of $6500. So, when getting a roof quote, make sure you're getting quoted apples for apples. That means, if you're thinking about a spray on roof, there's a ton of work that is put into that process, just like there is in the replacement of a rubber roof.
According to the folks that I talked with that do the application of the spray on roof, SILVER is the primary choice due to it's superior heat reflectivity. And, it's about 3/16" thick so, the sound deadening and insulation is also superior. Just some info here.
