Sounds to me like an adhesive failure. They are fairly common and can be seen frequently driving down the road.

If you intend to replace your roof covering anyway maybe this will help. I had mine done a couple of years ago. My roof was torn off and replced in three days by a very conscientious and well trained technician from RV Armor.
They came to my trailer location out in the woods and did it right there on site. The cost was just a bit over $6000. I am completely thrilled with the work done and how the roof looks now. No more worry about leaks.

As you can see by the pictures below, my roof looked terrible but was not leaking a bit as evidenced by the condition of the wood after the rubber was torn off. I was a bit worried but knew I had been quite proactive in taking care of it for the past 17 years. I would have no worries about recommending this company if you are looking to repair your roof or are interested in getting the longest life possible out of your rig.

That looks really nice - any pictures of your roof now that it has been a couple years? curious how it is standing up over time...

Needs washing now for the pictures to mean anything but the roof looks exactly as it did when the tech finished the job. I could not be happier with it.
