Thanks guys. I have let my daughter read all the responses. We have zero snow load but do have to worry about wind uplift once every few years. With this in mind we decided...........
We have agreed that the roof is flacking and as mentioned the roof rolls in the wind; so anything that bonds to the original roof may be bubbling or coming up in short order. So cool seal or peel and stick is out.
She really liked the idea of decking with osb and then putting shingles. That would cut down on the noise of living in a metal roof house. It would only cost her about $1.10 per sq ft. The only problem I have with it is putting that much weight up there. If I was confident it would hold the weight this is the option we would take. But since I am not confident the trailer would hold this much weight we would need to put in post and build a pole barn type roof over it driving the cost way up. The peek in the original roof also becomes a problem with putting in joist between the post.
So we have decided to furrow strip over the original roof and install painted steel over the strips. This will allow her to pick a color she likes; hopefully a light color that reflects the mid day sun; let the metal run a few inches long giving her a small eve; and the metal roof will now outlast the house. It could even stay up there in a move when she decides to upgrade to a real house one day.
She says to tell you guys thank you for the advise. And for the naysayers she said... Yes this may not be the best house but it cost me less than $150 a month to date; And I can come up with way more than $400 cash on a moments notice; And I am only 25 years old.
