To fix the roof you should tear out the rotted luan (thin plywood) and replace with luan from the hardware store. Don't use liquid nails. It takes too long to set and you have to hold the material in place. The right product for attaching all the layers of your roof or walls is 3M Fastbond 10 contact cement. It holds like CRAZY when it is applied correctly. The Fastbond 10 is hard to find (easy online) and expensive. For the roof, you can get away with some 3M 90 spray contact cement from a local hardware store because the weight of the aluminum will promote good adhesion.
Many folks have asked when I will post my write up of my rebuild so they can see what I did and learn about the materials required. The write up is not done, but now that the RV is water tight, other projects have to take priority. Here is a link to the not quite complete write-up. I hope its useful to you cbsurfmom. I wish someone had put up something that actually explained what they were doing, why and what materials/supplies were critical to the job.
