 Sorry to say, I have read that it may cost between $ 2,000 - 2,500 depending on your location in regards to Somerset, PA.

 This includes the cost of the roof, installation, and the shipping.

Figure $ 1300 to $1600 for the roof. Labor runs between $300 and $400. Shipping is a minimum of $300 and can run as high as $1100 to the west coast. Expect shipping prices to rise.
Fleetwood will not ship direct to an owner, nor will they ship to a dealer for you to DIY the install. They require the dealer to take delivery and to do the installation for warranty purposes and no it won't do any good to say you don't care about the warranty.

I'm sure it's much more about liability than anything else, no matter what they say.  They don't want to get sued if YOU botched the install and it comes down (loaded with bikes and an A/C, of course) on your sleeping child.

What state are you located in?  My shipping was $300 (not covered by the warranty) and I live about 2 hours from the factory.  The roof itself will cost $1200 to $1500 from what I have heard other people say.:)

I am in Massachusetts.  The local dealer quoted me $500 for the roof, $500 for shipping and $500 for installation.  I am thinking about finding the original owner and having him bring it in to see if the deal is any better.  

I am also noticing some blistering on the roof now.

Perhaps I will sell it, then get a new camper in the spring.
