Getting on top of my Airstream...?

[janars]

Thanks for your suggestions! I did it, using a blanket covered knee board which was wide enough to span the ribs, and a ladder leaned against the rail over the door. It was soft up there, but being careful, it worked out great! The Vulkem was an excellant product, working better than anything else I've tried for fixing leaks. I was less impressed with Parbond, didn't have great luck with it but it all went fine. Thanks for all the help!!

Here's another way...

Park two service trucks about 9' or 10' apart. Get some 12' or longer boards (or scaffold) and create a tunnel. Then drive the trailer thru and sit on the boards...great for polishing too!

Drive Thru

Stand in the doorway facing inwards.
Hold the driprail above the door with your fingertips.
Put you leftfoot on the kitchen countertop.
Pull up and grap the awning with your right arm.
Now your balancing on one foot leaning to the left with your right arm over the awning.
Noe swing your right foot over the awning and hold with your heel.
Now you can get your left foot on the driprail.
carefully press up and your on the roof.
I did this ones on a campground when the antenna wouldn't go down any more.
And getting up there was the easy part .

Hmmm,
I'm glad it worked for you - In my view it's maneuvers like this that keep us Paramedic types employed. I'm not saying I would never attempt something like this ( ) but it would be a last resort/emergency, and it would not be my recommended method.
Be safe!

Hi, Joke right? Can you post pictures of this process; I have to see this to beleive it. My wife said before she would let me tie a rope around her waist, she would put one around my neck!
