It's not so much that I want to sleep in it during the winter months. Just the snow is sort of like the first ding in your new car. You know it's going to happen. The honeymoon just isn't over yet. If you're cold, they're cold. I did think about getting a cover but there were so many contradictions on whether or not to get one I opted for not getting one and now am rethinking it.
If you feel that it's piling up too much, it is easy to remove with a roof rake while you stand on a ladder. I equipped a roof rake with small wheels on the bottom edge so the rake never scrapes across the roof. It takes me less than a half-hour to remove 6" of snow from my 22' travel trailer. I only do it to eliminate any rafter bending but I'd bet your new trailer is built better for the roof.
