Just to clarify, I have no problems leaving the snow on the roof if we are not traveling for the winter,... Its only if I am going to move it in winter.

If it were only a few dusting I wouldn't mind clearing it a few times before leaving. But the next town over jokes they are little Alaska.

From mid Oct to Dec 1st we can get several good snow falls 6" plus. One year it was enough that I had trouble setting up the ladder in all the snow besides the camper.

In the past we get some daytime warm ups, not warm enough to totally melt all the snow but enough to melt it down and turn it in to 2" of crusty like snow. Odd but the ground will be totally melted off. I assume because its still holding heat.

One year I made the mistake of letting it sit there until just before leaving I won't do that again.

I was hoping someone would have a trick to solve this but I guess I will just keep climbing a ladder and clean it after every storm.

Hopefully Mother Nature is Kind this year.

Thanks for all the input.

I faced the same dilemma a few times going to Arizona in the winter ,no real easy solutions , some think it is , it's not . IMO unless a covered storage ,just stay ahead of it . Plastic tarps ,or any cover is really not the solution IMO . I am not a young man in my 50's anymore , so I just stay in the middle ,and sweep it off both sides . As far as my 8/12 roof I can still handle cleaning rain gutters in the rain , but it it isn't 10/12 . :B
