I have a 2013 KZ Spree. Can I walk on the roof without causing damage? Does anyone know how much weight the roof is rated for?

I have a 2012 Spree E204S and was told by the dealer that sold me the unit not to walk on the roof. Having been on the roof to install a start capacitor for the AC and new antenna (King Controls "Jack") my sense is it is not designed to be bear the weight of someone walking on it.

I have a 2013 Spree with the factory ladder. I clean the gutters and check caulking regularly on the roof, but I only walk where the roof rafters are and with tennis shoes.

If it wasn't designed to be walked on, why would a ladder to get up there be offered as an integral part of an option package? I'm not saying one should jump up and down, but walking with a due amount of care shouldn't be a problem or there would be liability on K-Z's behalf for knowingly providing the ladder to a roof that shouldn't be accessed.

I walk on mine in socked feet and stay on the rafters.

I'm sure it depends on the model. If the model has a factory ladder then I'm pretty sure it's o.k. to walk on it. My E204S does not have a ladder and was specifically told by the dealer you cannot walk on the roof. |

I recently ordered a 2016 262RKS. A ladder was part of the upgrade options package. Since this is factory installed, I'm sure the roof must be walkable. A must for AC maintenance, roof maintenance, etc.
