AJ!!! Fat Guy and the Roof????

[mattpopp]

What is the max allowable weight per sqft on a 300c roof? I weigh 350lbs, can I safely walk on the roof without hurting it?

Regardless of your answer there is no way I will use the ladder on the trailer either.

I agree with you on the ladder. I'm a solid 285 and won't go on it. The roof? I have no problems on the roof but I try to use the joists as walking spots. Also, If I can, I walk where I know there is a wall below for better support.

I am a good 285lbs and I bent the ladder. If I go on the roof it sags under my weight but so far it has held. My wife who is less then half my weight normally gets sent up if the job is not technical.

At 200# I have no concerns with the roof. The ladder is another story.

I'm ramdually's wife. And I have issues with the ladder. I won't say what I weigh, but it's considerably less than 200#. I say a prayer every time I go up and down.

I'm #285 and both the ladder and the roof were fine. Just washed the roof today. I have, however, fixed the ladder to the side by replacing the pins with bolts.

200 lbs. here. I go up and down the ladder whenever I need to. If it starts to break, I'll jump.

Y'all just make sure you take your high heels off and pull up your skirts before you start your climb.

Gave up wearing high heels & skirts a few years ago & would hope you did the same. But am sure that all the women who are active partners in the care & feeding of our RVs appreciate the suggestion.

I own a 20' extension ladder and I use that to get on the roof. I just don't trust the OEM ladders. Even being at 210# I walk very carefully on the roof.

Ah, the benefit of being an agile 170 lbs., my rear ladder barely knows I'm on it (but I do check it). I have a 12ft. Extend & Climb for working the lower areas.
