This can be difficult if the current roof is very low pitch. I would suggest seeking out a local contractor who is experienced in this area.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 7/4/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13511/find/
Charlene, Your metal roof is probably a very thin metal rolled over the trusses and seamed. We have re-roofed several mobile homes that were constructed in this manner. We install horizontal battens (1x4's)over the existing roof and then install a new metal roof over this. Of course everything is trimmed and flashed to make the job right. I would use a U-panel before I would a 5 vee. We put the battens on 2 foot centers and the 5 vee is too easy to crinkle if you make a misstep and do not step on the purlin. Also, the U-panel does not oil can as bad as the 5 vee. Wade	Wade Matthews Roof it with metal-Roof it to last 7/5/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13512/find/
