Washing the roof

Coachmen owners manual states that IF you have a factory installed ladder, or a roof rack, You have a fully walk on roof. AS I have neither, I'm guessing I don't have a walk on roof. So I washed the roof today standing on a ladder, using a extended handle brush. Took several ladder moves, But it is done.
Now to treat the roof. Recon, I'll have to do it the same way

    I'll call the dealer, or Coachmen. The book says, If I need to go up there to lay down boards to stand on. To distribute my weight. But I'll still call

    I leave my roof alone. Why should I be messing around with it?

    The warantee is beyond my usage span.


    I wonder if the warrantee is contingent on proper care.
