Since your insurance rates will most likely increase so that the insurer can recoup the payout, I'd recommend to patch the roof yourselves.

They've already factored in claims in the insurance rates.
If you buy insurance for trailer damage and then don't use it on valid claims you may as well just not buy the insurance, your just pouring money down a rathole.
