How thin is the underlayment under the rubber roofing? When I bought the trailer I was told that the roof is fully walkable on, so that being said when I am on the roof it feels very soft between the rafters like the flooring is very thin. All over the roof, not just in spots. Does anyone know or has anyone experienced a breakthrough of the roof while walking on it? I'd hate to fall through the roof of my semi-new travel trailer! Just how much weight is allowable? If i was around 100 lbs i would not be complaining! [emoji16]
I had the distinct pleasure of having a 3” branch fall and punch a hole through my roof. The plywood under the rubber roofing is basically 7/32 floor underpayment. It’s NOT walkable. I use a 2’x4’ sheet of plywood when I’m working on the roof. Walk to the area you need by stepping on the joists and then carefully lay the sheet down before kneeling or sitting in that area.

BTW...skylights repair holes quite nicely!!!
