I have a single wide 76x14. It has the factory tin slightly gable roof and V gutters with zero overhang. We are going install anew roof to it next spring and I'm trying to plan for the overhand. Not sure of the best size but I'm thinking a 12" overhang on the sides and a 6" on the ends. Is there generally a difference in depth between the sides and the ends?

In "THE MANUAL" for Repair and Upgrade, page 11-8 shows photos of Adding an Overhang and soffits. It shows a pre-built overhang that is screwed in place, but I still can't figure out the end. The photos are not really great and it doesn't go into much detail.

Has anyone done this using a pre-buit overhang? Does anyone have photos?

Thanks in advance

I did 12" all around. When you install the new roof add a foot to the ends. I worked off of the purlins and attached the box assembly to the purlins and wall studs.
