Put 1x4's up every 2 feet horizontal and fasten to them over the shingles
...That gap lets heat escape... +1 Of course if it were my home I would strip it but for an old mobile home or camp that's a different story since I have seen it done this way on an old camp and it worked well and camp stayed cooler in the summer.

Shingles over shingles was always a bad idea...however tin over shingles is somthing different...I use the roofing tin that has the shingle look...put it right over the old shingles..all the roofing guys I talked to said its not a problem...and I can't think of any reason it won't last..

If you lay metal directly on shingles, it's advised to use felt between them to prevent the granules from scratching the paint off the metal which can promote rust.

For the roofing experts - I bought a mobile home on the main ranch where I hunt and work sometimes in South Texas.
Currently it has asphalt shingles. They are patchy in spots where wind blew some off, but there are no big bare spots. High winds, 50 - 60+ mph are common every year.
It is on the west side of South Texas, about 100 miles from the coast. Temperatures are 105 - 110+ in August and September.
With those factors, can gavalume sheets be screwed into the existing shingle layer or do the shingles need to be removed and/or put down furring strips?
This is a camp house, not my residence. So trying to keep a lid on repair costs, but not have the roof leak or blow off.
Thanks guys.
After bad hail storm a couple years ago, company that put my metal roof on insisted on tearing the asphalt off. Only took them about 6 hours on a 2000 sq. ft house. My electric bill has dropped considerably in the summer now.

And what was the bill for that six hours? And the bill for disposal of old roofing material? That is the raping I earlier referred to. An absolutely unneeded task, and fee.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Sounds right.
You couldn't beat me hard enough to have an asphalt roof.
No way I would nail through that schit to mount a tin roof.
Sage advise... Take the time to do it right. It ain't rocket science.
