RV Roof Replacement

Hello Folks,
We are in the midst of replacing the roof on our 2011 37' Carriage Cameo. We believe the damage was sustained by the installer of the AC units, as it is a direct puncture (vertically) through the EPDM, wood decking, etc.

We have received a preliminary estimate from the shop of $12k for the roof replacement. This includes removing/reinstalling AC units, vents, skylights, etc. Also, the estimate is preliminary as they have provided this estimate without them seeing the rig at all.

Does 12k sound right to you guys? I was thinking $5-7k maybe, but 12k? Wow - that just seems like a ton of dough.

Thoughts?
Thanks
Tom

Tom, is there only 1 place to get a roof quote from? Might want to check around and see. I agree that, if you choose to have this done, look at the options of a "hard" roof, like RV Armor, or the like, and pay the difference, if any. For me, I'd hammer the cr@p out of the installer, then simply patch the roof. Might fill the hole in the wood with liquid nails, then some dicor on top of that, then eternabond on top of the dicor.
