I'm not getting on the roof. I have no place I can park it under to reach it from above. I got to the outer ones fine with a ladder, but it's too far a reach from the sides. Can I lay a ladder on the front over the windshield without breaking the glass? Tinyandthegang • View posts Mt. Shasta, Ca.

A big risk to lay a ladder on the windshield. schlep1967 • View posts Harrisburg, PA Senior Member Joined: 12/08/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 05/15/20 10:50am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Lay a sheet of plywood on the roof to spread your weight. 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 2009 Open Range 385RLS Pull-Rite Super Glide RobWNY • View posts Jamestown, NY Senior Member Joined: 02/28/2014 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 05/15/20 10:50am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I would hire someone that lives by you that has the aptitude to do what you need done to get on the roof and complete the job. I wouldn't lay a ladder down near the windshield. 2020 Silverado 2500HD LT, CC, 4X4 6.6 Duramax 2021 Grand Design Reflection 311BHS You can't put a porcupine in a barn, set it on fire, and expect to make licorice.

Some sort of scaffolding could also work; perhaps the simplest there would be a painter's plank and the associated supports. Standard Baker's scaffolding or similar units are probably not wide enough to straddle the nose of the RV.

The ladder itself would not touch the glass. Just a thought.
