I think/hope he means liquid EPDM.
OP, I had an old tear on my camper when I bought it used and had some associated rot. I cut back the roofing membrane and exposed the rotted wood. I replaced the plywood decking and the rotted 2x2's myself. After I got the structure put back together I mixed up some liquid EPDM material and "painted" it on. The liquid EPDM bonds to the wood and the existing EPDM roof and made it a seamless repair. I then wrapped the edges of the roof with Eternabond, because I wasn't able to wrap the EPDM back under the edge moldings.
That fix cost me about $100 in parts and a weekend in labor. I sold the camper 2 years later, still leak free. I would suggest you look into that method as the most cost effective and likely involving the least amount of work.
