New Rafters: The rafters start out as a pile of 2X6.

Rafter layout: Then I mark out the desired shape.

New rafters cut: There is the new design - all cut and ready to install.


Before shot: Time to open it back up and replace the framing.


Out with the old: Old framing just before removal. An RV Rubber Roof can last for decades if installed and taken care of properly

Ventilation: How's that for a large roof vent. Eat your heart out Fantastic Fan and Maxx-Air!


Partly replaced: Some of the new rafters are sitting in place.


Front view: The whole back is in place - just a few more to go,


Front: Close up of the front. (That's my daughter standing in there)


New roof framed: That was a good days work! All framed up & ready for ceiling panels.


Roof framing: Another shot - Note the slope from the 1X3 runners down to the edge.


Roof framing: Closer view of the new rafters.


Roof framing: Low down shot to see the pitch of the roof better.


Fridge vent: Have to remember to seal this up good inside.


A/C opening: This ought to hold up the A/C without deflection!


Inside view: There's that big open ventilation system again. Hope it never rains in again!
