So, it's Victoria Day weekend up here in Canada and I was planning on waxing our Rpod for the first time this weekend.  After cleaning it this weekend, I realize just how difficult it can be to reach the entire roof.  I'm hesitant to put my full 200lbs on the roof... I don't mind "slithering around" (I'm sure that will amuse the neighbours to no end!) but does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

2, I just climbed up onto the roof and did the 3 stage Mieguiar's treatment on all that I couldn't reach from a ladder.  I also touched up all the Dicor caulk around all the roof openings after cleaning it really well with denatured alcohol and a brush.  The thing I avoided was walking on the roof as it puts a lot of weight in a small space.  I just laid down on my side and slithered around.  And if an old calorically challenged grumpy old man like me can do it, anyone can.  Maybe it was a miracle that I didn't fall through, but we've had rain and snow since I did it and no signs of leaks and the fiberglass skin didn't crack under the load.

best way to polish top of trailer, due to only have 10 ft ladder & can't reach across trailer.
