Verify with a local manufactured home handyman. I'm assuming a metal roof. As long as it's in good shape, you can pressure wash and reseal with Snow Coat or White Roof Seal at most home supply stores. i.e. Home Depot currently sells Solarflex White Roof Coating under $75 for 4.75 gal bucket. Usually 1.5 buckets. If it has old coating that is buckling or peeling, carefully cut it off for clean surface. Roller brush and pole and half a day should do it. Seal the seams and rivets first then go over with a complete 2nd coat. Weather permitting. Obviously, DO NOT do it in the rain.
