    I am right now putting steel down. It will be fine for you. Make sure you use screws and be sure your existing roof is solid enough for the screws to bite. Make sure that you use the screws that have the rubber gauntlet to make it water tight. Fiberglass is good but is not for a life time but is lighter

    The vinyl roof coating made for mobile homes is very good,and very reflective,cutting down on the heat on the roof.However, any kind of roof built over the entire mobile home with an airspace between it and the mobile home roof for air flow is highly recommended.Corragated roofing is best and should last for years. The fiberglass doesn't last as long
