Cleanest roof competition

[Lenny HB]

I like to keep mine clean too - and the MH - but every green parrot in the area waits till I have the latter away and then they fly down and ........ it needs doing again.
I see you walk on the roof to clean it? our A Class has no roof rack so I keep off the roof. Is it OK to go up or do they put additional strengthening into the roof structure when they have roof racks and rear ladders?

If it's a bonded construction should be fine, most have a limit of 75kg.

Fortunately it’s to cold today for applying a coat of wax! According to the instructions on the tin at 7 degrees feels like -7 deg I have had to put my long shorts back on

I never wax the roof makes it too dangerous to walk on. My roof construction has a 2mm GRP panel glued on top of the aluminum roof.

 

[DiggerDogs]

The last clean, the muck that came off !!

 

[Blaydon]

75KG limit? OK so a fewer pies and perhaps a fewer chips and I could walk on it.
I want to have a good look at the fittings - check for sealant condition etc. Give all a good clean and maybe a coating of 'get lost you 'orrible birdie'.
Or maybe I could throw a few sweets up on the roof, put some fluffy slippers on the grand kids and play a nice game of treasure hunt....

Yes our Hymer had grp sheets stuck over the alloy roof but I think the Carthago is grp sandwich on the roof, it’s no great effort to lean from a decent set of steps once waxed it just makes it easier next time

I would love to get on the roof and clean it, but SWMBO won't let me climb ladders with my hernia

 

[Carpmart]

No problem Harvey you can borrow my new step ladders

Not quite what I had in mind.....

It's OK, Just leave the hernia at the bottom of the ladder with a note saying you will be back soon

Is that a Protec cover and did you have them do the solar clear panel, or home-made? What glue/stitching or what to attach it to the green fabric?

Has anyone mentioned yet that opening the roof hatches and washing the roof from those is a much safer way to wash your roof? That stepladder looks VERY precarious to me.

Just under the weight limit - but thinking I might get one of those 3 metre ladders that kicked the thread off. Captain Careful.

The only problem there is I don’t fit through the small roof lights.

It's certainly a squeeze

It's certainly a squeeze

It would be a miracle for me

Christ im glad you told me its ok not to worry about a dirty roof I thought it was going to keep me awake all night

 

[tigerblue]

Yes it is made to measure from ProTec. They made it with the clear panels for the solar panels although on reflection, for me anyway, I need not have had the panels because the van is always plugged into the mains when at home. So glad I bought it particularly this year during lock-down and lousy weather.

 

[Jonny1953]

Just took mine out of storage today, its been sat there for 2 months, not been on the roof yet but it looks okay from here

I can’t... It’s under its PROTEC cover.
Smug grin...
Second thoughts. :- probably become vermin heaven. !!!
But 20 moth balls and electric gizmos should make it an unpleasant visit

PS Nice roof

We bought a protec second hand dirt cheap it’s like a bit of tissue paper, it ripped apart in 2 minutes up here on the moors. 2 minutes.

I have all the pieces in the shed still wonder how I can utilise them.
