More sheathing removed from the front. Everything removed so far was wet and rotted. The ceiling paneling has dislodged from the trusses in the front

A look at the rear, the rotted sheathing is just mush and the insulation is soaked. I shudder to think of what I'll find when I pull the wall back.

The rear of the trailer roof peel begins. This is the corner where the hole is but I really doubt that the hole is the only reason for this rot.

Closeup of the water beads on the insulation. This is "uphill" from the front termination bar. The trailer has been in the barn for over a month now.

The plywod sheathing is saturated with water. Mysterious because the saturation extends well "uphill" from the caulked and re-caulked termination bar

2006 Jay Flight rotting roof replacement

My recently acquired "bargain" 2006 Jay Flight 29BHS has turned into a money pit with its rotten roof. I really want to know why and will have other questions. I've opened the worm can and will replace the entire roof sheathing, membrane, fittings and terminations over the course of this winter and next spring. This will take months as I live in Wisconsin and my unheated barn is my workshop. First steps are to strip the rot and let the trailer dry out. I'll need to figure out how to use this forum as I'm sure there are very knowledgeable people here.

It looks like I can't upload these pictures in the order I'd like to see them displayed?
