ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a support structure for a thin sheet metal roof skin for an over-the-road trailer or van. The roof skin is supported on transverse roof bows which are secured to side rails mounted on the top of side wall posts. The bows are of slightly convex form and are of V-section at the center to maximize strength and minimize snagging. The bows are formed to a unique configuration at the ends and are secured by rivets to the rails. The attachment edge of the skin is vertically spaced from the ends of the bows so as to reduce vibration and stress transfer from the skin to the top of the posts.
