32 BDSW Roof Cleaning / Checking

Hey folks. I had a quick question (can't get a straight answer from the dealer...they already made their sale I suppose.) I've got a 2017 Jayco 32BDSW...I just want to know if that unit camper can hold, or is designed to hold weight for me to walk on the roof for safe cleaning. If not, we have a lift we can use....I just don't want to do any damage that won't be covered under warranty.
I'm new to this website...but it helped me catch the Jayco LED Light recall WHILE my camper was still in the shop for other warranty work....Thanks guys!

Does it come with an attached ladder?

I have a 2016 28BHBE and I walk on my roof whenever I need to clean or inspect. Seems very solid. You can definitely feel "Softer Spots" vs. when you are stepping on the supports.

My camper doesn't have a factory attached ladder. I won't have any problem getting up there with our equipment lifts....I just know it would be much easier to talk up there instead of reaching from the sides to clean it. I looked through the Owners Manual...nothing really in there (from what I read, may have missed something) that says you can, or cant walk on it.
I'll take a closer look, I just wanna be sure I'm doing the right thing. The Forums on here have been much more helpful than the company that sold it to me!!!!!! Thanks guys!

All jayco trailers are designed so you can safely walk on them. Roof inspection is part of required care. Unfortunately without the ladder they just make it a little more difficult for you to get up there.

I have the same trailer, my dealer said its capable of holding 4500lbs.
I haven't been on my yet but other campers assured me this trailer roof is very capable to walk on.
