using epdm rubber roofing(on most building roofs)good idea?

[ryncole]

Hi everybody.About 5 years ago, we started off with a $200.00 8' pop up rockwood camper that came complete with a rotten roof
well, i stripped the aluminum sides, and corner rails from the top, junked the old top. Rebuilt the roof, framed the roof in pine, laid luan plywood on top of pine frame, applied glue, laid the epdm rubber down, smoothed edges, reapplied alum edging re-connected lift mechanism.
worked REALLY well, and physically was correct, except it was black rubber instead of white dimpled aluminum skin
now they use a aluminum skin, originally, dimensions were the same after the rebuild. when rain hit, sounded like a dull drum

Okay.. my point is, has anybody skinned their trailer with this? Got the stuff from roofing contractor. Not the prettiest, but waterproof, seamless, and fast to install. what do you guys think of using this? Sorry for the long write, just wanted to give my experience with epdm.

Chip did his first trailer with a rubber roofing material, and he wasn't happy with the outcome...said it bubbled up not long after finishing.don't know what it was called, but his was white.

Only problem I can see would be heat
A local roofing contractor told me it can be painted. They make paint for it but he said exterior latex works fine.
I used white TPO roofing on mine

Warpony has a rubber roof on his TTT that looks like aluminum step plate. Really cool.
