I posted a reply on this topic several years ago. My theory is that it would be possible to construct a frame (electrical conduit perhaps) that sits above the TM roof without touching it. The weight would be carried on three legs. Two on the front attached to the tongue as far apart as you could get, so you have some stability. The third leg would attach to the optional hitch receiver on the rear of the TM.

I am not sure how to keep it from wobbling side to side, but my possible solution at least puts the weight on the TM frame, not on the roof. Perhaps some ropes or straps down the side of the TM to the TM frame to prevent side to side wobble.

In my case, I would just use lumber racks on my truck, but not everyone has a truck.
