Title: Easy way to put a canoe on the roof of my RV?
Post by: Grog on March 31, 2018, 09:52 AM
We have been camping at a local state park that has some nice lakes.  I would love to bring
my 16 'canoe with us so we can enjoy the lakes in the park.  I don't want to tow a trailer for it
which leaves putting it up on the roof.  I'll be doing this by myself and short of dragging it /
Muscling it up on the roof I was wondering if anybody else has an easier way to do this. 
I have a 77 class c with a new wooden roof and plenty of steel supports in it.

The easiest way would be to lay the camper on its side, Then lash the canoe in place then tip the camper back onto its wheels .  I reccomend removeing all the dishes first .  :)rotflmao :)rotflmao :)rotflmao :)rotflmao :)rotflmao Frank

I know, I'll plug  the sinks, and then pressurize the tank .  the high pressure air will hold it all in
