RV Roof Top Gardens

London's Daily Mail has an article about Spanish buses with gardens on their roof: part of the environmental movement.
Might be a ider for RVers. Climb on top put your chair out and take you shoes off and wiggle your toes in the grass, which is sadly lacking in most RV Parks. The big 45ers could have a small green if the air units were in the basement. Might get a tax credit for something or other. Wouldn't have to worry about matted thatch. a brisk 85 mph trip would blow all that away and maybe the turf. Have to enlarge the fresh water tank to pump a little water up there. Bigger springs and higher ratet tires maybe and surely more sway control.
Might even be able to grow a little corn which could e converted to fuel fr the Toad? :)

  • That's one of the many things I like about RV's, no grass to cut.
    And, I spend enough time keeping my roof clean and leak free.
    Now you want me to cover it with dirt and keep it wet? :@

    This may work for some people, just not me. JMO

    Yep and you could get a couple goats the keep the grass cut. Make your own cheese too.
  • I've seen some RV's on the Washington coast that that have the makings of a garden on the roof. :E I've been on the coast for about a month and have been watching my roof to make sure I don't have one starting. :)
  • Or put a bowling alley up there like Pete's RV in "The Goofy movie"
