I pulled off the roof on the 88 grandby. Repaired and reinforced bent frame, installed closed cell foam insullation and repaired cracks in aluminum skin. This may sound weird but I also glued in some landscaping fabric on the underside of the skin for a vapor barrier. Also installing a fantastic fan.
Any suggestions on modifications before I seal it up?
After insullating with foam I realized there still is hollow aluminum tubing and the vent holes. Would it be a good idea to spray foam inside the tubing?
Might also install solar later. Panels in the rear would be easier to reach, however parking with the front facing south might be more comfortable, and could have hinged panels.
The roof racks usually seem to be screwed in with metal screws. While the roof is apart would it be a good idea to run small lag bolts through the roof frame to mount the rack mounts? Concerned about the rack and thule possibly blowing off with only metal screws.
Thanks for any input!
