Travel trailer with metal roof

[SDHNTR]

I need a small, sub 20’ travel trailer that has a metal roof. Other than an Airstream. I keep this on a ranch I lease and it stays set up year round, exposed to the elements. Rubber roofs get destroyed quickly. What other options of makes/models are there with metal roofs?

Try an all fiberglass molded trailer Casita,Escape,Oliver, Bigfoot
Check fb marketplace, couple for sale in TX 12-15k. Get a 17’. Mine is a 2002, has never leaked. Only repairs have been a leaf spring axle conversion to give 5.5” lift for blm roads and a water heater. How many stick built travel trailers are leak free at 23 years of age?

What you need is a 50s-80s vintage trailer, the trick is finding one in decent shape and not a million bucks.

Why nt put a metal roof carport up to protect rubberized roof? Cheaper for sure.

Wouldn’t be allowed.

Quick search, looks like they make TT with aluminum roofs and sell retro kits also. That might be something to look at.

ATC Trailers are all aluminum.

This is just a hunting rig. I don't need fancy. It pretty much stays in one place. I really don't want to spend Airstream or ATC money on this. I know regular travel trailer brands like Forest River make a model or two with metal roofs. That's what I'm trying to find. The problem is Google is leading me nowhere.

I haven’t seen anything like that. I have seen people do a stick built basically tiny house on a trailer. I would think that you could do cheaper then a atc, the most weatherproof and have a wood stove.

Maybe get a "bag" cover for it?

You can also keep a fresh coat of Kool Seal on there to protect roof from UV.

These are about the best you can buy; ~2007 Nash 17C
Large dual propane, dual axle, solar, roof air, big shower, and built solid.

I’ve got two teenagers in competitive sports. I don’t have time to build a sandwich.

Does that model have a metal roof? Looks like almost the identical trailer to what I have now, with a failed rubber roof.

Yeah, that may be the best option. It’s just often times when it’s time to leave I’m tired and dirty and I just want to sweep up and go. Getting ladders out and tying down a cover sounds like a PITA.

You don't have to use it every trip to extend the life, if you know you're coming back soon just leave it or if you know it'll be months then cover it. We had a cover on our travel trailer at the coast when Hurricane Harvey hit and didn't get a drop inside even though the cover was shredded on the sides and front it held.
