We purchased a used 2017 Rpod 178 last fall. I assume it is ok to be on the roof to clean and do maintenance as I have a couple times, but I have never read anything one way or the other. I email Forrest River about it and never heard back. Do folks out there get on their roofs to do maintenance w/o causing any damage structurally. Thanks again for everyone's input.

Buying a 178 is a sign of advanced intelligence. It's a small roof. Get a long brush. I have never found a need to get on the roof and I have lots of toys. I do have ladders that can reach roof from both sides. fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

I have carefully gotten on the roof several times-to put eternabond tape on the spoiler, to install an Easy Start and to check the edge seals and dicor. Be careful and go up on the side opposite the AC(at least on my 179) as there is more room. Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">
