Shed truss- camber or not?
#8
In heavy wind loading an upward camber would actually weaken a truss.

The last truss also carries roughly half the roof load of an inner truss, unless you're hanging more from it.

If the other trusses have no camber, and the replacement one does, the sheet roofing will have a buckle, and the ends may not finish flush -- if standard lengths have been used.
