It’s our first camp season with our new golf cart. We have a travel trailer and Ram 3500 dooly. The golf cart fits and can be secured just fine in the bed of the Ram to close the tailgate and haul the trailer.
Question is…what about the roof of the gold cart at 60-70 mph? There is a solar panel on the roof and taking it off is very difficult.
What recommendations does anyone have to secure the roof for travel? Does anyone think the roof will be ok without any further securing measures and why?
Thank you!

That roof was not designed for 60 mph.

I agree. But if we aren’t taking it off, any ideas?

Is your cart like the ones I often see loaded on a open semi-trailer, rolling down highway?

Build a box around it?

Ratchet strap it down. Two or three straps front to back.

I see RVer's hauling them in the back of pickups all the time as well as fleets delivering them on open tractor trailers. Don't appear to be any extra consideration for the roofs.

Now we know what one of those wind deflector roof wings, that mount on top of truck, would be good for.

I know you're asking about the roof, but we had he windshield of a cart fall out while riding on a golf course a couple days ago so be aware that all accessories need to be secured.

Yup, you see wedge trailers with 20+ of them on all the time going to and from various golf courses. Tied down at the wheels/frame. No consideration for the roof.
Can't speak for the solar panel. That all depends on how well you've attached it.
