Well, I shoulda asked a little more about the roof, but I looked today. The previous owner had Kool Sealed it. She made a big deal about doing that, but I should have asked about the condition of said roof before she did it. I looked today & noticed there was a bunch of bubbles. I stupidly poked one of the bubbles. There was black goop & what looked like some kind of woven fiber. Could the old guy who lived in this trailer, have actually tarred the roof? What the heck is it and how can I fix it? Please check out my pics and gimme your best guess.
Here's a pic for you Wendy. A panel removed.
Here's the pic of my entrance where the soft spot was half-arse fixed by previous owners husband. Regular wood and interior screws?!

That's not fibered roofing sealer. Someone at one point or another used an old roofer's trick. They laid down a sheet of burlap and coated it with roofing tar.
Now I understand how you will attach the replacement walls! I feel like Homer Simpson when he says DOH!!! But I have to say, I really like that teal/turquoise stripe, even if it's an outside piece. It'd make for some interest on the interior walls if you could replicate it there.
