We've put our 16 ft aluminum canoe on top of our 85 Westy with foam
blocks every summer for the past 5 years or so. Got to be care lifting
it up and taking it off, but not a scratch from riding up there. Weight
hasn't been a problem.

<<Hey All :
We're taking our '85/'90 Westphalia up to Algonquin Park in Ontario next
month, to camp in an area where the thrill is to rent
canoes and paddle in to sites along a lakeshore. I have some concerns
that the rental canoes, which are rented with foam
rubber pieces to protect the tops of cars, may harm the fiberglass
camper top. Has anyone here done canoe portage up top?
Maybe a wider-base beneath the pads? Appreciate any feedback/advice!
