Well, aren't you helpful... It is the outdated fiberglass RV upload system that randomly chooses to flip photos. Maybe you should send your comments to the administrator.

Gordon may have the best option. Also, there is good access to the outside shell via the closet. So at least one bolt will be pretty strong.

Hi Jen,

I am a new Burro owner and was curious how your Yoga matts on the roof solution worked out. Are they still up there? Any issues? What kind of glue did you use?

Thanks!
