OP, water is the enemy. Keep the water off the roof, it'll last a lot longer. If you have the room, get a Carolina Carport and store it under cover. Keeping sun, water, leaves, branches, etc off the roof will keep your trailer looking newer longer and reduce your maintenance needs.
Keep the seams sealed up and rubber roofs are expected to last 20+ years.
Maintenance is everything. Let it go for 4-5yrs expect it to be trashed. Keep up on it every year and even lower end units should last 20yrs.
I would like hear from anyone who has a "rubber" roof that he stored it uncovered, not re-coated, for more than 10 years ! If you don't have covered storage, wash the roof with mild soap at least twice a year and apply some kind of UV protection.
What would you like to know? Been there done that. Keep up on the seams and you are good out until around 20yrs. At that point the white surface layer starts to break down but as implied, you can string it along by putting a coating on it.
