How much snow weight can these roofs handle before collapse?

[New England Weekender]

Recently bought an Imagine XLS 25DBE and trying to learn as much as I can. Where I live, we get a listed average of 36-40" of snow annually. IMO, this seems even a bit high. The last few winters feel like 1 storm of 8-14", a couple storms around 3-5" and a bunch of dustings that amount to pretty much nothing on the ground. My driveway is on a hill, and I've probably used the snow blower 3-4x each winter the last few years. Having said that, occasionally we can get a storm of 16-24". It's probably once every 5-10 years but it still happens.

Can these roofs handle this type of snowfall? I know it's not Buffalo, NY levels, but it's not Florida levels either. What do you fellow Northerners do? Climb a ladder mid storm and roof rake? Wait till it's done and immediately work on snow removal? Or maybe do nothing at all and it's never been an issue? Thanks for reading.

East coast of Canada here. Lots of snow
I don’t worry about it
It doesn’t accumulate. Wind blow it off, it melts and then it snows again

Think of your feet
You walk on the roof and it is fine In my case I am 200 lbs which would calculate to well over 300 lbs per square foot. Snow would never weigh that much

I have had approximately 24" of snow on the trailer roof. Seems ok

Here in Minnesota, no one even thinks of it - especially not the dealers where all the RV's sit out all winter. This past winter was a wild exceptions, but we normally get the same or much more than noted in the original post.

And with the RV dealer near where I live they leave the slides out as well..so a couple feet of snow on there as well. I figure the component at risk is really the suspension/tires if anything.

And one advantage is that as the snow melts, it does a pretty nice cleaning job on the nose cap as it slides off.
