How to fix a cracked fiberglass roof on a popup

[nbrewer]

I am thinking about purchasing a 2001 Coleman Sunvalley from a coworker for a really good price. But, they originally had this popup in Arkasas, where it sat and baked in the sun most of the time. They hauled it from AR to KY about two years ago, put a tarp over it, and really haven't used it much since then. But, the sun in AR did a number to the roof. The current owner said there is a crack in the fiberglass roof, and he feels the entire roof would need to be replaced.
So, should I think about an entire replacement? Or is this something that can be repaired? It's fiberglass, I would think I should be able to repair it, but I haven't seen it yet. Cost wise, does it even make sense to consider repairing it? I'll be going to see it for the first time this coming weekend, and want to make sure I know what I'm looking for.

TIA,

Depending how long tor large the crack is. I have used some bath tub repair epoxy to patch a crack on the nose of my rig.
It comes with fiber glass matting which I did not use. Comes in white or cream color available at Lowes, Home Depot or Menards.
I drilled a hole at the end of the crack then applied the epoxy mix to the spider crack about .5 inches on each side.

The Colemans of that era had ABS plastic roofs the developed cracks. Coleman had a special warranty program that would replace the entire roof even after the standard warranty expired, but it was only available to original owners. It would be best to replace it with one of the new roofs, but I don't know what the availability is.

You could check with Fleetwood; they made the Coleman brand then. Other than the roof, they were very good trailers. We had one & really liked it.

It's $500, and I'm not sure how much the repairs will cost at this point. Continuing my research... Does $500 seem like a good deal?

Ill bet its not fiberglas but thermoformed plastic. New parts are probably not going to be available. So do a web search on how to repair plastic. If after reading all about it you feel it is a project you want to tackle then go for it. But it bettet be really cheap
