Using lexan as roof over cab
Hello,
I recently bought my first RV, a 1992 Damon Hornet 20'. Before this we had only been tent camping so I'm completely new to the whole RV experience. We knew when we bought it that there was a leak in the ceiling over the cab but we did not know how extensive it was. It turns out all of the plywood over that area is rotted and needs to be replaced. I was thinking of replacing it with a sheet of lexan over the cab that would make us feel like we were sleeping outside under the stars. The lexan would go until the next sheet of plywood that isn't rotted towards the back and to the metal part at the front of the cab. Has anyone ever tried anything like this? Can you think of reasons why it absolutely wouldn't work? We are pretty handy and are not scared of taking on big projects.
Thanks,
Kristen
