The cover will just complicate the matter , getting the snow off the cover would probably be harder to do than the roof itself , plus the fact you most likely will ruin the cover . I’ve had the same issue here in Utah , I get right up there , and sweep it off with a heavy push broom . IMO just stay ahead of it .
Thanks for the info. I have always done it from the sides on a ladder, How slippery is the rubber in winter?
The rubber isn’t any more slippery, but the snow and ice is the same as anywhere else you might walk on it….
I’ll presume you’ve never covered it before. A frozen rv cover will not come off easily especially with a buildup of snow and some freeze thaw/ice on it.
Not to mention how to deal with it once it’s off and wet/frozen.
Since you said covered storage isn’t an option, Either sweep the fresh snow off it a few times potentially like you said you already do, or put a plastic tarp over the roof. And find something else to worry about besides a little snow blowing/melting off the roof when you leave town.
No I have never covered any of our campers, mostly because I have read all the horror stories from wind blowing tarps or covers.
you make a good point about the frozen cover.
I guess I will just keep cleaning it the way I have.
