zeitgeist57 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130656&highlight=roadking+roof After hearing back from 3 shops, it's becoming painfully obvious that I'm likely doing the roof replacement on my '75 RV myself. Two of the main issues are age of the vehicle (Wilsons RV won't touch anything older than 20years) and project creep (possible interior panel replacement) making an already expensive job even worse. My family loves this vintage RV so I've got nothing to lose with all the info available on the internet. Does anyone have scaffolding to get up and around a roof that's 9-10'(at highest) off the ground? Sunbelt rental adds up with multiple weeks and multiple 6' scaffolding frames, boards etc... I don't mind buying used scaffolding and then flipping it after the job, but happy to rent for 4-6 weeks as well and pay someone directly. I can access the roof from a ladder but will likely be replacing plywood and other trim components that would make a scaffold platform a more secure and enjoyable place to work. Please advise what resources you have! Edited January 13, 2021 by zeitgeist57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately distance and the fact that he doesn't loan tools or i'd ask him if you could borrow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 for what its worth I rented the scaffolding from Sunbelt to paint my entryway and while it worked Jesus was it sketchy and moved around alot. Granted I know my weight effects this but my wife refused to get back on it. Make sure you have a good way to anchor them in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 looks to be around 100-200 in steel there unless prices have gone fuckery like wood prices. could always go grab box steel from a metal supplier and go to town. maybe a long shot, but if someone has some type of industrial storage to borrow that would be an easy solution.

I was going to offer Clay a helping hand when needed but if he welds up some scaffolding himself I'm 110% out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trust his welds over mine and i've stood on some of my own sketchy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately distance and the fact that he doesn't loan tools or i'd ask him if you could borrow it. So, the "Franklin" brand from Harbor Freight looks like the same stuff...and it's $169 a set through the end of the month. Considering I'm looking at using this to secure tarp over the RV while working on it, it's cheaper for me to buy over renting for a month! http://www.hfqpdb.com/coupons/4654_ITEM_FRANKLIN_HEAVY_DUTY_PORTABLE_SCAFFOLD_1609462851.0992.png I was going to offer Clay a helping hand when needed but if he welds up some scaffolding himself I'm 110% out. LOL. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 He looked at the HF stuff too, no idea why he chose to get it at HD over HF but he decided the stuff HD had was better. :shrug.jif: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I have one of those multi-function ladders that can be used as scaffolding, it looks similar to this but it's longer.... Let me know if you could use it. If so, you can borrow it for as long as you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
