Snow on covered TT...shovel off or not?

We got a couple of ft. of heavy wet snow the other day. I noticed that a couple of my neighbours (all of us have covers on our TTs) got up and shovelled the snow off their TTs....I suspect they're just overachievers and I left mine to melt....for 3 reasons...1. I was afraid of damaging the cover, 2. I was afraid of damaging things on the TT top like AC, skylights, solar panel, TV antennae and 3. I was afraid of damaging me if I fell off...
Opinions?

Leave it alone, especially if your not going to be using it. Less chance of breaking something or yourself. Only reason I cleaned ours was that we were going/coming south and did not want the toad crushed.

I have never seen a RV dealer shovel the trailers on the lot...

Those are three very very good reasons. They are what we have been using every year and still find out that Spring takes care of it eventually.

Hope it is okay to leave snow on the roof. We are 3282 miles away from our coach.

I wouldn't use a shovel - just too easy to hurt something up there and if you break something plastic, it will leak.
I would try using a broom to get as much off as possible.
Or, maybe a strong leaf blower!
