Need advice for a ruined roof
Awhile back I bought my first travel trailer. A 98 prowler 24lz. I knew nothing about RV's at the time and made some mistakes. The biggest was that the roof was completely shot when I got it. Almost a...

I wouldn't worry too much about bubbles in the old membrane. They're rather common even on brand new TT's (mostly because of poor workmanship) but don't end up causing any problems. In fact mine was that way from new and it's still fine and has never leaked.
Replacing a whole membrane type roof runs around $120 a linear foot around here.
Really? I dunno if I'm describing it correctly. Its wavy and loose like a bubble. But if you were to peal off that eternabond right on the seam you'd be able to peel the roof back probably 6 inches where its come loose from the wood. I wish i'd have taken a video or pictures when I was up there last. I was just worried that if it was flexible like that the liquid epdm coating wouldn't do well over it. But maybe i'm just worrying to much.
6" is a pretty big void but yea, they build them that way.
When I first bought my TT I discovered the bubbles and loose area's next to the edge (like the material just doesn't want to bend around a sharp corner). My dealer said it was normal but I doubted him.
So I called around to dealers of other brands of trailers and they all told me the same thing.
I'm not sure how a liquid coating would work over those area's though - I just don't have any experience with that.
Can you post a pic? I'm sure we'd all like to see it (we're strange that way..).
