Walking on the roof

More questions about my 1994 33’ Holiday Rambler Vacationer. As I mentioned in earlier questions, apparently in the past a heavy smoker owned this RV. I would like to take off both roof top AC’s and give the coils a thorough cleaning with soap and water and perhaps a low pressure power-spray (it’s how I’ve successfully cleaned old window AC’s). There is a ladder on the back providing roof top access, yet at 6’5”’s and 230 lbs I’m hesitant to actually walk on the roof. While I don’t ever expect to put spend unneeded time on the roof, if I wear proper shoes (I’m thinking cloth booties over my tennis shoes, or stocking feet), is it okay to walk on the roof for the occasional service needs?

Thanks in advance, all y’all have been a great help in my quest to begin my next life’s chapter of full-time RV living.
