Back East Don Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 What are you covering over? EPDM is meant to be glued down to plywood. If you've not replaced the roof with new aluminum and have bare plywood to adhere to, then the rubber roof would work, you would just have to figure out sealing the transition joints.

Vova Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I removed the tin roof and replaced the plywood so it's ready to go. Just not sure what rubber roof to use. leaning towards EPDM since it's been around so long. The install kits for the roofs come with a transition strip. I would just put the rubber roof over a small section of the tin roof and secure to the wooden cross member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphinite no longer here Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That's some nice looking work on your roof. Did you replace the roof framing as well? If so, what size lumber did you use for the roof framing? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vova Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Most of it was good so I left it alone. I did add a unistrut in the second to last rafter because of sagging from the ac. I also added a 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 rafter support on the very with three helpers to prevent future sagging in the back of the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
