Thanks Gordon.
EPDM is probably a little cheaper than aluminum. But what I like about it on larger trailers is that there are no seams and you can run the rubber over the sides and over the siding slightly so that when you install your outside corner you actually have a "Cap over the entire roof so it can't leak.
Also on a larger trailer you can't see the roof so it really doesn't matter what you use.
On a Teardrop you see the roof. Not that EPDM is unsightly, its just not as shiny as aluminum.
Its tough to find a place where you can buy small amounts of EPDM but R V Surplus & Salvage

Is as good as any. They sell a 120X109" piece for about $110 delivered.
Now that's a lot of fabric, what I usually do is plan my piece so that I have enough left over to do a Teardrop with.
And either save the extra for one of my projects or sell it for $50. Its a win, win situation, you cut your cost by $50 and saved the other guy $50 as well.
It is coil stock that I use, I really don't know the exact thickness of coil stock...but its enough.
In the tutorial you can see I make a "Z" bend to hook one piece to another.
