roof thickness

What's the general roof support thickness under an aluminum roof. I can easily walk my fat butt over the entire roof without any problems. I want to put some screws in the roof to hold solar panels.

  • Complete unknown.

    I've seen RV roofs that were 2x2's with 24 oc and could barely support their own weight.
    I've also seen roofs that where built on a trestle design that could (and have) supported the weight of many people.

    With out knowing the maker of your rig the only answer is "not enough info"
