Roof coming off

The front roof is coming loose is this something I can fix? Or do I have to take it to a repair shop?

I've never torn a roof off but I have seen their construction. What is the year, make, model of the trailer. Have you got another pic from further away to give an indication of where it is and to what extent this is taking place around the trailer? Looks like I can see one corner of some trim on a top cap but don't know. Someone else may be able to definitively tell exactly what and where this is but I think the pic(s) would help.

It looks like the roof might be ok but the front cap is no longer attached properly. At a minimum you will need to replace the screws and trim pieces then cover it all with Dicor.

My next thought would be - how did this happen? When did it happen and what precipitated it? Just looking at the separation it looks like it might have been a while coming from the looks of the dicor, separated components, possible aging of the TPO; what is the story behind this failure?

Looks like the front cap separated from the roof. If there was some sort of "accident" your insurance might help cover the repair costs. Our TPO roof came unglued while we were driving during strong cross winds. State Farm was ok with covering the repairs.
Any chance something snagged the front cap while backing??

They said that it was very windy on the way to pigeon forge Tn and they don’t remember hitting anything

Since repairing just a roof can be iffy and the front cap, if not done properly, could really cause an issue down the road, I think I would approach the insurance company and ask that this be addressed as wind damage and have an RV repair shop, or someone qualified, fix it.

I'm with Danny on this one. Re-attaching the front cap and getting everything sealed properly is more than a one man DIY project. Insurance should help, but this type of repair needs to be done right by someone with experience and know-how.
