Various styles of a pitched roof can be built or you can purchase pre manufactured trusses.

It was all done by me and a carpenter friend who did the fram. The roof pitch of a mobile home is a measurement of the incline from the edge to the center of the roof. It is a significant renovation if you are converting from flat to pitched. However flat roofs require much more aggressive and consistent maintenance than a pitched roof.
