I'm thinking about installing a fantastic fan vent cover on a 2021 TAB 400. If I stay very close to the edge with foam pads under my knees, is this ok? I see no other way to do it.

I asked the same question a few weeks back. Short answer is no. Roof has 1/8 thick plywood covered with bubble wrap and aluminum. Body weight will deform the roof. Look thru some of the threads for ideas2019 T@B400 Boondock Lite "Todd"2016 Toyota Tundra 5.7 Crew Cab

@Giota, use the search box at the top of the screen. Enter a word or two that address what you are looking for. I entered the word "roof" and found the discussion thread that @qhumberd is referring to:

I just installed an Aero-flo cover over the center vent. I used a 12' step ladder beside the trailer. I did not have to go on or over the roof. I dropped the fan housing inside so that I could reach through to the roof after unscrewing the fan blade.
From atop the step ladder I drilled for the two near-side backets. From the inside I drilled the two holes for the other side opposite the first holes. I attached the 4 brackets from the inside. I installed the cover's base from atop the step ladder...I could not see the carriage bolts on the far side brackets but I could feel for them to attach the washer, lock washer and nut set. It worked quite well and I'm pleased with the result. My arms are long (36-37" sleeve) so normally sized folks may need to lean over the trailer more.2021 T@B 400: boondock, 3-way fridge, microwave, solar
