Preventing denting the aluminum diamond plate storage tub

jdkoepsell · March 14

Last week we purchased a T@B360 and are storing it outside. As we are in northern Illinois, we opted to purchase All Pro camper and window coverings. Putting them on yesterday, I found that I needed to stand on top of the diamond plate storage tub in order to get the cover on the front Stargazer window and to get the camper cover on. I was concerned that my 160# body would dent the top of the tub. I stood on the edge of the tub and did not seem to damage it. However, I would be concerned I could dent the tub if I tried that again. So I am considering making a wooden platform that I could temporally place on the storage tub lid when I need to stand on the tub for the covers or cleaning. Any suggestions?

I have a 22 400 and I'm 180 lbs give or take and I stand on the tub cover as part of my trailer cover install/removal. I always stand on the edges and never had a problem. I probably do this 10 to 15 times each year for the past 4 years. Again, no issue whatsoever.

Any other experience with standing on the storage tub?

2021 320 Boondock. I stand on the edges of my tub to clean the solar panel. No problems at 185 lbs.

I've stood on the edges with no harm done, but it still makes me nervous. When I was installing a new solar panel, I laid a piece of plywood on the tub out of a sense of caution.

Howdy, Stranger!
