A hot button with me is keeping the living space, especially the floor, clear of stuff while underway, and I’ve never been interested in storing items on the rear ladder.
Storing items on the roof has worked well on our current TC and our previous Class C. We have a Yakima 18 cubic foot cargo box and a gear basket mounted to our support rails. A blue tote tank is stored atop the gear basket and we use the cargo box to store outside chairs and fold-up table, beach umbrella, shovel, rake, extra towels, etc. We previously used it to store an electric leaf blower and small gas grill.
If I don’t have a helper available, I use rope to raise and lower everything. Nothing touches my rubber roof except my knees, hands, and soft sole shoes.
Our unit does not handle differently with these items on the roof.
