Washing the van roof
Comments
-
I tend to wash the roof with a brush from a step ladder or a normal ladder but when I polish the roof I climb onto it. People are quite right it is very high up at 3m and I don't feel overly safe from slipping so I tend to move around on hands and knees on a pad to reduce impact. You have to just be careful of all the obstructions and whilst my MH roof is more than adequate to walk on at 80k but I cannot walk on the GRP part at the front over the cab or the fancy rear end panel. I have to reach out over the front on my belly or from side steps. I always fear for slipping over the top too! .Regards, Roy
....i assume you meant a trim 80 kg (12.5 st) Roy....? or are you saying that more expensive vans have better roofs?
for the doubters regarding roof strength....Hymer ran an advertising campaing many years ago where they sat one of their top line MH on top of another identical one to demonstrate the inherent strength....couldnt vouch for the average caravan though...
needless to say, my MH roof has no problem accommodating my svelte 60 kg....
(though after a fortnight's holiday of too much dining and wine even i am going have to get a grip of the calories in the next few weeks.....
....best get out and mow that lawn...or wash that van roof.....)..Glad our van is not average then
...sounds like you cant, either
.which side of 'average' would yours be, and are you confident it'll support your weight....
...As it will take a Ford Mondeo estate ,it will take me

Ha, is that you in the photo.....
...if not, perhaps you can hire him to do yours....thing is, the 'B' might be strong enough to have a man with a hose up there on the roof, but given some of the stories (some even on CT) would you risk it....?
id have thought thats the last thing an owner would want....
