Mobile home to addition roofing questions

Hey guys I've got two different mobiles with porch additions.

On the 1st addition I replaced the roof with shingles. But I don't know how to finish the flashing that comes from the roof of the mobile to the porch.

On the 2nd mobile home, the mobile still has the old metal tin roof, that definitely needs to be replaced soon, someone has basically just taken tar and spread it over the flashing that they used to connect the porch and the mobile home. However it's leaking between the two now.

My questions are:

1) how do I fasten or attach the flashing to my new shingles on the first mobile home.

2)And on the 2nd mobile home, how can I temporarily stop the leaking of the flashing on the 2nd mobile home, to at least get me through winter?

The 1st two pictures are of the 2nd mobile home, with the leaking issue and old roofs.

The 3rd is of the 2nd mobile, where I need to fasten the flashing to the new shingles.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Looks a little flat for shingles.


As far as tar, put tar on it, and mesh it. That will keep the tar from cracking.

The second one nail a straight price of flashing down to the porch roof, then do a hem bend on the top piece that will bend around the one you nailed to the roof. Then tuck the top under the shingles on the main roof.

I'd run from those **** heaps there's no money too be made working on those and all it will do is get you more work on more **** heaps!!

But I do work on mobile homes but mine are well kept retirement homes,
Too fix your problem I'd do a epdm roof( rubber)

Where the two come together I used a wide band of rubber seam tape, it can move around and still work!

Now here's the bad part rubber isn't cheap but neither is going back too fix them!!
My roofs have 5 years on them and no problems at all!
