[VAL] Walk on top?



   Allen,

   I believe the general consensus will be that you can't without added
support in one form or another.  I too am about the same weight and had
success on top of my Caravel recently by flopping a futon down first and
laying on that.  Also remember to look for where the ribs are and try to
confine your activities to over and around them.

   I spent some time up there removing years of dried sealant around the
main overhead vent and inadvertently experienced  the effect of moving away
from over the ribs. The feel and some bit of not-to-good sounds reminded me
quickly to return to the area of the ribs where it was more stable.

   Other opinions folks?
