Re roofing a Dbl wide(what's under there?)

[David Tigner]

HI,I have a 1989 25x52 (shingled) and I started to see low spots in the roof.With the open ceiling design I know there prob. isn't much support up there.My question is whats used under the shingles (most commonly,sheeting 4x8 ply or????)? Can I just ripp up the old shingles and replace the wood sheets that are probably bad or sagging,and replace the shingles with new? Any help before it springs a leak would help! Thanks

I'm having my roof looked at right now because it did spring a leak through my ceiling. I've had a quick repair job until we can do the whole roof but was told by two estimators so far (one lives in a mobile home himself) that if you reroof, it could very easily be too much weight and that you'll never know if you do need to replace boards or not without exposing them. In my case, we're nearly certain I do have boards that need replaced so we will be stripping off the old shingles, replacing the board or two, then doing the felt, three tab shingle, etc. I got a couple books from the library on do-it-yourself and what they told me holds true. My home is almost identical to your description. Hope that helps.
