Thanks for the info. I have always done it from the sides on a ladder, How slippery is the rubber in winter?
The rubber isnโt any more slippery, but the snow and ice is the same as anywhere else you :)might walk on itโฆ.
Iโll presume youโve never covered it before. A frozen rv cover will not come off easily especially with a buildup of snow and some freeze thaw/ice on it.
Not to mention how to deal with it once itโs off and wet/frozen.
Since you said covered storage isnโt an option, Either sweep the fresh snow off it a few times potentially like you said you already do, or put a plastic tarp over the roof. And find something else to worry about besides a little snow blowing/melting off the roof when you leave town.
Grit , apparently in your short life you havenโt dealt much with snow being on the roof of an Rv . Get up there there sometime and deal with a bit of snow especially if left on there for awhile in the cold . You youngsters everything is simple . Iโd invite you over , Iโll cover with a tarp , and let you deal with 6-12 inches of new snow , and you can pull the tarp off . I believe that was one of your great suggestions.

I vote for indoor storage for a month or so. We are fortunate to have a Carolina Carport that our camper sits under. I've left for Florida in the snow before and thanks to the carport didn't have any accumulation on the roof when we started.

Can you find indoor storage for a short time? Maybe a couple of beach balls under a cover so snow would slide off?

Thoughts? First world problems.
Solutions? Cover it, clear snow or go put it in covered storage for a month r 2 if itโs that concerning.
Or strap a tarp over it you can just pull off and go.
Personally, barring a huge buildup of snow/ice, youโre being finicky since the other 10 million trailers that hit the roads in the winter just let the snow blow off of them. Besides itโll all melt off in a day r 2.
Or quit looking at the Famers Almanacโฆ
