Protection needed over roof vents and skylights from snow load!

Does anybody ever do anything to protect vents or the flimsy skylight over the shower during winter?
I am going to cover my White Hawk but wondered if I should build something to protect any of the vents, etc...
How about the folding tv antenna?

Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Also, do you tip the nose up or down to help shed water or should it be level?

I do not cover the trailer at all. The vents and skylights can handle snow load easily. My vents have Maxair covers but the old trailer had a skylight and exposed vents and didn't have any problems.

I do however make sure the trailer is not level to help water drain from the roof. I prefer nose down so the tongue jack isn't too high in the air.

Cheers
