I don't personally have a storage unit mounted on the roof of my Clipper but have done quite a bit of repair to my roof and inner ceiling caused by leaking of the vents and where a TV antenna was mounted. The roof on the Clippers are fiberglass but I would guess if yours is tin you would want to take the same precautions to not create any leaks. The RV supply store has a coupe of different types of caulk for sealing vents and places were you want to make sure no water will get inside. Be sure to seal all mountings where your storage container mounts and mount it to solid supports on the roof and you should be good to go. Just the other day I was following a motorhome which had a Yakima on the roof.. I noticed it because it was mounted right behind the A/C unit and the thing hung out past the rear of the roof at least 18 inches?? this looked a little strange but it got the job done.
good luck and let us know how it goes.
