Im moving to Florida, and, bought a Mobile Home which of course has no attic. It has a southern exposure with no shade and im wondering what options are available to reduce the Cooling Load on the roof. Ive wondered if a metal pan roof can be put over an existing shingle roof (or just adding large sections of sheetmetal on the roof) , thought of collecting rain water in a 55 gallon drum and pump it up to the top of the roof and let it run down thru a PVC pipe with holes drilled into each side , and have even considered putting in an additional ceiling inside and insulating that cavity . Has anyone had success with this issue or can tell me whats an effective solution ? Thanks much.
