Should you remove the snow on your camper during the winter?
Well, let me explain it this way. The weight of snow varies greatly. Light fluffy snow may only weigh about seven or eight pounds per cubic foot. A more average snow may weigh 15 pounds per cubic foot and drifted or compacted wet snow may weigh 20 pounds or more..."
The owners manual recommends a maximum of 150 lbs for a roof lifted (open) and 300 lbs for a roof closed. My camper roof measures 12' x 7'5" so...
a light snow with a 6" snowfall weighs 356 lbs, an average 6" snowfall weighs 623 lbs and a heavy snowfall can weight 890 lbs.
Bottom line... CLEAR THE SNOW OFF YOUR CAMPERS ROOF, it will love you for it. 😉
