   Several times. My PDI tech recommended I stay on my knees. Seems solid with no flexing.

	I've been on the roof many times to work on various things like installing the Micro-Air Easy Start in the AC, installing and then removing and installing again a cover on the fan, washing and waxing the top, removing the cover of the AC so I could paint it white and reinstalling it, etc. The roof is strong as long as you stay on the flat part (179 and 180 size models). I'm not sure about some of the other models. I guess it depends on whether the other models also have the aluminum framed part on the top. There is a YouTube video of a 2014 factory tour showing two workers on the roof of an R-Pod under construction. I think if two people can safely be up there, I can be up there as long as I take care not to fall off since I don't have that nice bridge along side for safety.

	I walked on our 177 roof a couple times, but was able to do nearly everything from a regular ladder leaned against the side..

	Has anyone got there full weight on a Pod roof to work on the A/C or other maintenance? Does FR have a position on this 1. Don't go on the roof only work from the sides. 2. Kneeling or walking on the roof is ok.
