The last two winters, with heavy falls of snow, could have left quite a layer on the tops of caravans. Its worth popping out every now and again to brush it off to prevent the accumulation of weight which may cause sagging. I appreciate that the weight is spread across the roof, but every little helps in protecting your van

Ours does the same, we leave it nose down so the water drains off, and have had no problems.

There must be thousands and thousands of 'vans with floating skin type roofs, and they have all been subject to snow laying on top in the last few years.

This situation hasn't changed for decades, so it can't be a huge problem, surely? Otherwise the warranty claims would have forced a change in construction techniques.
