Roof Wart Install

[Melbo]

being afraid of heights and trying to handle the cooler on the roof do not go hand in hand.

You will need some help to do this

We put heavy stuff on roofs all the time and the best way is to have a ladder that extends well above the roof line so you can raise the cooler over the top of the bus --- [use a rope (wrap the rope around the top rung so whoever is on the roof is not pulling the cooler up but mostly taking up slack as the cooler is pushed up the ladder) and slide it up the ladder as mentioned in a previous post] --- and it is still on the ladder -- if someone is standing on the ladder when you do this it balances out --- someone (who is not afraid of heights) on top of the bus can then swing the cooler onto the roof of the bus.

I am not sure if this explanation was clear --- if you have questions I will try to clarify -- Mostly you just slide up the ladder holding it with a rope BUT be sure the ladder extends well above the roof of the bus so there is no last minute lifting involved.

Once the cooler is on the roof then it can be moved about by two people instead of wrestled about by one

When I installed mine the bus was parked beside the house which had a second story sun deck. So I slide it DOWN a ladder from the sundeck to the bus roof.

Now that i have passed 50 i try real hard to get a helping hand for stuff like this. I like the ladder slide, 2 person method. with one, if it hangs up or slides sideways it is a suck minus. I have also used the 2  12' step ladders method, using a 2X10 or 12 between to make a movable scaffolding. Set the unit up on the chest high scaffold, then set it on the roof. b carefull.

When you are uncomfortable up in the air it makes for bad decisions when moving stuff around.

You have to be careful and get good help.

I have a friend that is afraid of heights and I got him a step stool one Christmas and put one of those stickers that said do not stand on or above this step on the first step.

Gotta be careful -- If you were close I would do it for you
