Wavery and Shane are right. Snow build-up is dangerous, the the TM is limited in its ability to support it.

If you envision taking the TM into snow country, you should consider getting a snow rake. It isn't really a rake (with teeth). It is more like a scraper, with a flat blade across the end. It has a long aluminum handle with a bend 2/3 of the way up. You stand on the ground outside the trailer, lift the blade up above the snow, then drop the blade gently into the snow and pull it toward you, pulling the snow off the roof. This is a lot easier when the snow is dry and light. Don't let the snow get wet! This is about the only reasonable way to get rid of snow on roof, especially if you have to do it while the TM is open. It is much better than a stepladder and conventional snow shovel, an approach to be avoided.
