Anyone had to move a LWB roof by using a Sankey Narrow Trailer.

Tips or advice?

With side panels or just the roof?
Usually when I do something similar using my trailer which is a similar shape, I just put a couple of lengths of 4x2" on the top of the trailer, sit the roof on top and then strap it down. I did that recently moving a rear tub.

Ah, cheers Diffwhine.

It will be with sides removed so they can go i the back of the LWB.

The wood idea is good thanks. Assuming the roof is sitting on is base and not its..roof?

Annoyingly they are ever so slightly wider and so the roof will always want to slide off one side and drop a biy. Easily sorted with some timber as diffwhine suggests. An 88" roof panel is almost a perfect fitting cover for a narrowtrack.

I moved a SWB tub using the same method on our 5ft x 3ft trailer and it worked quite well.  To be honest I have often moved stuff on the trailer rather than in it using a couple of pieces or 3x2
