Roof walking?

Post by SergioB »

Hi y’all!
I want to replace all vents with flushed skylights, my lab is to live and have my Avion stationary so I’m leaving only the bathroom vent with a fan and I’m removing all the others and replacing them with skylights. But can I just walk around or do I need to lay some boards? Couldn’t find any info on this and I do t want to make a mess by walking on the bare roof.
Thanks
Sergio

Make sure you walk on the ribs not the space inn between. You’ll see lines of rivets going across or the length of the trailer. Those are the ribs. Anywhere else youll dent the hell out of the panels.
If you wanna be really safe make yourself a pair of snow shoes out of some plywood and staple some foam on the bottom and use those.
