Solutions? Cover it, clear snow or go put it in covered storage for a month r 2 if it’s that concerning.
Or strap a tarp over it you can just pull off and go.
Personally, barring a huge buildup of snow/ice, you’re being finicky since the other 10 million trailers that hit the roads in the winter just let the snow blow off of them. Besides it’ll all melt off in a day r 2.
Or quit looking at the Famers Almanac…
This is from experience in my area, The snow doesn't blow off or melt off.. I have to remove it as each storm occurs (a pain) or just before leaving (way worse). We often get several inches to feet before dec 1 so I would never try to drive with that much snow on the roof.
Respectfully, I wasn’t suggesting to let “feet” of snow accumulate, not just for driving but for the RV structure itself.
You’re leaving Dec 1 not Mar 1. What is your real risk here? Having to broom off some snow a few times?
If you can’t find covered storage and won’t use the RV cover (good call btw, it could/will likely be another issue to deal with if you’d have to pull it and then also dry/store it.), especially with a little accumulation and then a freeze thaw cycle. Then you’re out of magic solutions. Deal with the few snows, hope Murphy’s law doesn’t produce record early season snowfall, and if it does, clear it off a couple more times.
I was only suggesting that some leftover or not too deep of snow on the roof will be no issue when you take off for FLA.
You’re good and by Dec 3, it will be only a memory and a small puddle somewhere.
