Roof Replacement?
I have a 96 JayCo that needs a new roof. Has anyone replaced theirs? I'd like to chat. How hard was it to do? I believe it has a rubber roof on it now. Would I be better to go to a one piece metal roo...

We'll here is the latest! I just got started a day or two ago. I removed the awning which was easy, as the fabric is shot and it is a Faulkner which is out of business so we'll be getting a new one. Hmmm might be good to put on car trailer. Then I removed the awning rail and the "gutter" rail. I decided to replace them both. Now on to the roof! The P.O. Put so much goop on the roof I will be lucky if I can salvage anything on the roof. All the roof vents and covers are so buried in sealant in some places it is an inch thick. I will need to replace the top piece of sheet metal front and back and the bar that runs side to side. I pulled the corner moldings and now for the really bad news :-) the rear of the unit has black and white mold and wood rot. You can't see it on the inside, in fact there is only a little water stain on one of the bunks. So for now the roof will wait till I get the rot remove and replaced with good materials. Tomorrow I plan to take some pictures to post. So the lesson for today is to stay on top of your roof maintenance or you'll have major repairs to do.
Yikes! Sounds like it may be a little worse then mine. Of course I haven't taken it apart just yet. My awning is shot as well but I may just replace the fabric with a replacement from THIS GUY Appreciate the update. Where did you find the replacement rails? Do they make them in aluminum?
