Help with Surfside sagging roof
Hi everyone, new to the site and new owner of a 1978 Triple E surf. I'm going to restore this trailer. I biggest issue I see so far is the sagging roof. Does anyone have any suggestions and/or pics of how they have addressed this issue. Thanks!
Keith

Speaking of pics, some of the problem would help to suggest solutions.

I had a sag on my Triple E as well. I riveted in a modified curtain rod. Cut out the insulation then covered it with a strap of fabric.

If that area moves up easily prop it up and apply a couple layers of Fglas to the area inside the trailer.
There are lots of threads on how to apply, Dave will be able to direct you.
