Trailer roofs
What trailers have the best roofs in regards to least issues with leaks?
Forum Discussion
My first trailer had a metal roof. Talk about porous. It probably leaked around the various edges, but it leaked right through the roof too. Nearly ALL ROOFS require preventive maintenance.
My rubber roof has performed well over its 13 years of constant exposure. Sealing the edges with Eternabond and a few spots with caulk has kept it leak free with a minimum of effort. To me the one negative is that the rubber roofs white surface wears away over time. The stuff that comes off causes streaks on the walls and eventually results in a black roof. Mine is getting to that point now. It's probably going to cost me as much as the trailer is worth to resurface it.
