  • Get a tarp to put over it until you can get someone to replace the roof.

    The trailer will take on more and more weather, insects, and possibly animals that can get in. The walls are also getting wet and mold can grow. Plus if there is electricity in the trailer there is danger of a fire. Even with the roof covered, it is unsafe, see if you can find someplace to stay until the repairs are made.

    In the meantime, a tarp will help.

    you need to tarp the roof or put up boards until it can be repaired and it is not safe to stay in either

    You need to hire someone to repair your roof. You cannot live safely in a trailer without half your room. Everything will begin to rot and deteriorate. I agree with Redcatce very unsafe.

    Screw/nail some plywood up and cover with a tarp until you can get the roof repaired.

    You would need a tarp as a temporary fix. But you can't live without half of a roof or the rest of the trailer will get water damage and it's not a safe shelter to live in.

    You must take action i mmediately to get some type of roof covering on the trailer. It is unsafe because water and electrical wiring DO NOT mix! You may be able to get materials from a Habitat for Humanity store. Fiberglass roofing panels or metal or wood ones may be available there.

    Hi! Do you own it? Request assistance from your homeowner's insurance immediately. The Red Cross may be able to assist you with safe temporary housing whether you own or rent. If you are a renter and you don't have insurance, your landlord needs to make emergency repairs. Was it a result of a tornado or other natural disaster? FEMA and the Red Cross should be nearby. I am so sorry this to you. Stay safe.

    You can put regular metal roofing over it. Best bet is to pick up at a metal roofing company directly.

    Where do you live? Is there an organization in your town which helps people like you? What about a church, or a City Mission or something like that. You need help!
