Walking (crawling) on the roof
2015 Jayco Jay Flight SLX. I want to put vent covers over the two roof vents. I haven't put a ladder up on the side yet, but I think I can reach them from one. If not, is the roof strong enough ...

Thanks for the plywood idea. Dh wants to get up and really inspect our so will have him do this. And bonus we already have a piece.
While I can walk on mine I actually carry two 1/2" x 12" x 24" pieces of particle board with carpet wrapped around them in my Van so if I need to get on the roof I use those as "stepping stones" to move around and kneel on when on the roof. At home I have a 2'x3' piece of 3/8" plywood that I use as an "additional" platform with a piece of old carpet under it for added protection and to provide a larger work area for things like stools, etc., but still use the two "stepping stone" boards to get to the larger plywood "platform".
Just too easy to take this extra step to ensure no problems. Even with walk on roofs if you kneel on them that can be a HUGE amount of force from your knee in an "EXTREMELY" small area.
