Cleaning Nuevo roof

Is it safe to get on the roof of a 2012 Nuevo to clean it? Thanks all.

Personally I would not risk it as they are not designed to take concentrated weight of  someone walking around on and you will stress seals around vents etc. By spreading the load via some crawler boards perhaps but at this time is it worth it in case the worst happens and you damage the roof or worse still fall and become a statistic on an already under pressure NHS.
      With every van we have ever had I could work from a ladder with caution and either use a long handled car wash brush or a soft floor brush attached to a broom handle for extra reach and cover all areas easily.  You can then use the same with a cloth attached to wax the roof etc.
      No doubt you will now be inundated with replies of the type ' I am 26 stones and hold dance parties on my roof without issue'  At the end of the day its your van and your health .....

Thanks Kaspian. I will keep off the roof on that basis. :)

I work on the principle that I can reach the parts which show from a ladder, and I don't worry too much about the mucky bit in the middle.

What the eye cannot see . . . . .

      Hi Peter that's where  I went wrong , I should have strapped 2   8x4 sheets of 12mm ply to my feet and spread the load!    Saying that I did witness a motorhome  dealer workshop bod walking about the roof of a sales/ sold  Nuevo blasting the crude off the roof with a pressure washer with turbo lance!  No I would not have liked it to have been mine either......

Sound advice from Kaspian.  There was a time when I sent my boy onto the roof of our caravan to clean it but not now.  I learnt from my caravanning days that its not a good idea to put a bucket on the roof as its base will scratch the paintwork.  Although my Nuevo is smaller than the caravan, it's higher.  I use a ladder and a small light weight brush on the end of a light alloy pole - I think we got it years ago to clean the house windows - and I take my time.   I use a larger more conventional car brush for the rest.

I access my roof by using a short pair of steps inside and fully open the roof light, gives access to a large part of roof, especially centre which is not possible from external steps.  Or am I stating the obvious?
