I used All-Rite in Holister because they were able to provide the 5" break opposed to the standard 4" or 6" break that everyone else including Hemmet Valley offered. I was able to go pick it up myself (saving the $275 shipping) and see some old friends in Aptos. All-Rite was a little more, but I got a match to the old roof on my Shasta Super and got some road trip time!

That's great! The shipping can be as high as the metal you purchase sometimes depending on where you live. So it's good that there are others spread around. Is that Holister California? Any reason for a road trip is a good one by the way.

After working with EPDM roofs for over 6 years, they are junk IMO. Even when maintained correctly, they don't last. A lot of companies don't use the required products (whatever they can get the cheapest is par) hastening membrane deterioration.
You can bet these "modern" trailers won't be around in 50 years...

When I spoke with Steve at Hemet Valley he gave me a rough quote for my project. When completed, Daisy will be approximately 13 feet long. Steve quoted approx $1,200 in metal and additional $500 in packaging and shipping All in all, it's way less than I had anticipated. I just hope this will be a DIY project and not something I will have to contract out

Well all I can say is watch all the videos on metal you can find and remember that I'm not the only one putting them up now. There are others. Then do a lot of planning and make sure you have the right tools and then make a decision. I must tell you that this last roof I did was almost too easy. It pretty much fell together with the planning I did ahead of time for it. Watch very carefully how you take it all off the trailer and you will see a pattern. On the sides the top half goes on first. Bottom half slides up into that one. On the roof just watch the latest roof videos I did. Shouldn't be a problem. You just have a much smaller radius than I do. Should be easier actually.
Hoping that Soup chimes in here.... He's pretty good at it too.

About a 16 foot section was $1200 and they did all the seams correctly.

I'm also looking for rolled aluminum for roof in the SE. RV supply places all seem high. I havent yet, but I am going to search some cargo trailer and tractor trailer repair shops. May also be high but I tihnk it will be worth some internet searching.

Searching is always helpful... I think you'll find that cargos and semi shops have solid sheets on the roof. Not the worst thing.
