We have an older 80s model Palomino and the weight of the a/c is making the roof bow because of earlier leaks which are now fixed. We have used pieces of channel steel with lag bolts on top around the a/c to try to suck it up, but it still seems to be bowing, not to mention the roof is leaking now and the interior paneling is water logged in places.

Is there anything that anyone can think of a fix it? Obviously looks are not important we only use it to take the kids to the river a few times a year. Any tips or strategies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and blue skies!
