Thank you,
To everyone who responded.
I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer.
Please, let me offer a few more details to better explain what I'm working with...
My '87 Franklin is 35 ft and sometime in the past 10 years, most of the residents in the park added low pitched roofs to help keep the heavy New England snows from piling up during the off season, when our park is locked up (Sept to May) with no access.
They all are wood framed with corrugated metal roofs.
Some of the units, have attic fans
at one end, behind exhaust louvers, that are either thermostaticly controlled or have just an on/off switch located in the room just below where the fan is.
The opposite end (closest to where the a/c is located.) has no access, yet.
If I go through with my plans, I will have to cut through the perforated vinyl siding, reframe the wood structure at the eave, install intake lovers and try to figure out a system to allow for drainage of the condensation, that I almost failed to consider (Thanks kerrlakeroo & John Wayne..).
Also the center height of the roof is approximately 48 inches, so there isn't much room for maneuvering up there.
I know State Laws vary State to State, but I was wondering if anybody has heard mention that what I want to do violates any type of building codes...?
