Snow on Roof

We plan on heading south for a while again last winter. Last year I shoveled 1-1.5ft of snow off of the roof before we left with our TT. Now we have a 5er with more stuff up there and a slope that I'm afraid of breaking something shoveling, or worse hurt myself :)

What does everyone do if they head south in mid-Jan and there's snow on the 5er? Will it melt/blow off safely (to others on the road as well as AC, antenna, solar, etc on roof?

Enjoying our Fall weather, but starting to look a couple months ahead...

    Letting the snow and ice blow off as you drive can be dangerous to other drivers, and in a growing number of states is illegal. I keep the accumulation off using a ladder and broom and shovel. It's not a 5er so it's a little easier.

    In some states it's against the law to not clear the roof. I had to clean the roof one time now I turn the heat on, park it in the sun or just hope it's cleared off enough before I get to the highway. Best thing I have found is to head south before it snows but everyone can't do that.
