Answers:
Talk to your local building department.
no you can not due to building codes and it also being unsafe and plus you need permits and a contractor to do the job for you plus it wil have to be inspected
One thing to consider is the stress on the foundation from the extra weight of another whole roof system.
Go to the County courthouse and see the guys at the building codes office. They use this system on mobile homes here all the time but, your area might be different.
