I was able to finish stripping the old roof off the trailer tonight with a little hard labour. Surprisingly, there is a relatively decent structure to the roof, but still, it wasn’t enough to survive 30+ years. With the roof off, I’ll be able to bring the metal base that holds the canvas to the roof down and get it back together and start taking measurements.

I do plan to make the roof just a shade deeper to allow for thicker foam on the bunk ends. I was also able to save the original roof vent from the old roof, it’s not in bad shape and will save me some cash. I’ve got a quote of about $375 for the EPDM rubber and adhesive but I am still shopping around and looking at the various options. I’m also looking at the option of using some steel studs instead of wood for a few cross braces in the roof to save some weight, but we’ll see.

Here’s a quick video of the current status of the trailer. Note the one sideboard I was able to keep for measurements. I also have the front side as well. Both boards are very rotten, but enough to get measurements from. The other two sides disintegrated.
