I'm not a huge Nascar fan, but my dad has somehow become one in his semi-reitred state. Dad has purchased a spot in the infield at Autoclub speedway for the race this spring, apparently a pretty good spot. He asked me if he could use my rig for Race Weekend as the cost of driving his TT down from Idaho for the event would add considerably to the cost. I have agreed but I have some questions about the safety of my rig and my dad. He wants to put down a "Moving Blanket" on the roof and put chairs up there. I don't see how a moving blanket could distribute the weight of a couple of guys who weigh between 180-200 pounds very well. But putting a sheet of plywood would add too much total weight. What do people do so that they can do this without damaging their property?
I have a 2002 Bounder 36S. It has a fibreglass roof and a ladder leading to the roof, this leads me to believe it is a "Walking Roof", but sustained weight for sustained periods of time were probably not in the original design.
I see people on these roofs all the time at events like this, there must be a solution? The current solution is to tell dad to stay off the roof, and find another way to view the race from the RV.
Thanks for the help, and I'm sorry if Motohomes isn't the right place for this but I didn't know where else to put it.
Thanks,
