Help me with roof project please!

It's a beautiful weekend, time to open up the can of worms and see what's going on in these soft spots under the roof of my RV.

This is a 2002 Coachmen Pathfinder, Class C.

I took all of the edges off, peeled of 4+ layers of dicor, caulk, crappy liquid roof, and whatever else, removed the vent, peeled back the rubber roof and found this:









Not what I expected. Most roof repair videos have plywood underneath which is what I was expecting. This is some kind of "lite" roof.

So, my initial questions....

What kind of roof is this?

How can I get the remnants of the old wood off of the rubber roof so that I can get it to stick to whatever I end up putting down next?

Any other thoughts would be greatly preferred. I have three beautiful days coming up and would love to play golf on two of them after knocking this project out tomorrow... I know that's a huge pipe dream, but a man can dream.
  • I would replace with a little thicker wood then take it to the local rhino linings dealer and have them spray the roof and edges. Never have to worry about your roof again. Had a friend do this and he has never looked back. No leaks, drips or anything.
