Wolf Pup Roof Question

Hello, I have a 2017 wolf pup. Is the roof considered a walk on roof and will support the weight of an individual? Thank you

Short answer, yes.
One of the many reasons I chose my Wolf Pup 16BHS was the walk on roof. I watched a detailed Utube review of the TT from Haylett RV.
I still gingerly walked on mine when installing the cover for winter

RV roofs are generally OK to walk on with soft sole shoes... if you are worried then put up a 3/8" or so thickness of plywood about 2 foot square to distribute the load a bit

Be ware the roof trusses are only 1x2 and on mine they cut through one in two places for vent pipes substantially weakening that truss such that when I had to have a new roof due to water damage which wasn't discovered by the dealer that sold it to me and won't cover the replacement . My understanding is that if it doesn't have a ladder it isn't a walk on roof. Hope you have better luck than we have.

I also have a 2017 Wolfpup and have been on the roof a few times a year to clean and inspect. I am very careful where I step and you wont see me jumping on it anytime soon. Theres a lot crammed on that small room so stepping on or tripping on something is easy. Be careful...
