Putting a metal roof on a camper.

The easiest way to go about this is to do a portion of the roof at a time. Install one every 12 inches up the furring strip. Start by placing the new rubber roof roll on one end of the roof. Line up the first metal panel so it overhangs the eave by about 3 4 of an inch.

Another thing to mention is that if your rv already has a rubber roof on it you won t need the shears since you won t have to remove any of the old metal roof beforehand. Without looking at the unit and how the rubber is laid it is hard for me to be accurate with an answer but yes it can be done. Set the second panel next to it and overlap by one ridge. Attach the panel to the roof by drilling in self tapping screws through the metal and into the furring strip.

We are going to adhere the rubber roof in small sections roughly four foot sections until we work our way across the entire roof. Remove the metal roof if applicable before you can install a rubber roof you ll have to take off the old one.
