Rubber membrane, tin or aluminum?
Then it don't really matter, I've not actually done the work, only witnessed it.
The Goodyear membrane was about the same as patching a bicycle tube when you was a kid but some people will place a patch beneath and over the tear. The membrane material is sometimes hard to find, usually from a commercial/industrial roofer.
I have seen aluminum holes and tears patched with pop rivets and sealed with 5200.
I know this is not much help.

aluminum top, supported by some type of cheap plywood. It appears teh water leaked around the screw holes, that rotted teh wood, then the antenna broke, allowing more water to enter. I'm going to take a better look at it next week

Don't know if it was correct repairs but the seen the wood structure replaced with white wood screwed and then glued with White Lightning, adds flexibility. Interior facial was whatever paneling would match pretty good.

Our RV we had as a kid had an aluminum roof on it, and we finally ended up replacing the whole thing. When you put patch panels down, they will always start to leak down the road a ways as the aluminum is constantly flexing. You could always go with a membrane over the whole thing, or a good high quality oil based roll on roof over it, but then you have to get up there every year pretty much and recoat it.

go for it...i'm sure you'll figure it out using some common sense. I'm sure like any other industry there is no magic to it...just some common sense to make it water proof.
