If I end up rebuilding my roof, I will probally keep it flat for the width of the a/c roof vents etc, then taper off from there. I would probally try to do it similar to this LINK
Wow that trailer rebuild is something else.....
I think I would have done it more like Spectramac and take it all down to the deck and go from there. In any case he did a nice job and it looks like it was done in the suburbs so a definite lack of space. He did a nice job of the posts and I think Spectramac should do a book about it (has been suggested before), be an inspiration to others that are contemplating the same sort of thing.
In the next couple years I suspect that I may have to redo the roof of our Class A It has a fiberglass roof and generally is in pretty good shape but the previous owner was not watching it as close as she should have. The fiberglass came down the sides a couple inches and they had a metal strip and caulking at the transition from roof to siding. In any case there was enough flexing that a section of roof pulled away from the framing (about 2' long) and water could get in. I never saw it until after I got it home as it was blocked from site by the awning. I fastened it all down again but a couple places there was nothing behind it to screw to. I had to drill holes anyways so I injected epoxy and used blocks and straps to hold it in place to dry then put in screws. Re-caulked it all but... With only 2x2 roof framing it is also starting to sag a bit inside. Would like to fix it right and change to a epdm roof. We go to the stock car races and a couple time it would have been great to go up on the roof to watch. I can generally get close enough but still....
