Obviously, try to get a new one at an RV place if you can. It might be okay short term, but it likely isn't good for the internals of the AC to be exposed, especially if the electronics are not weather resistant.

Probably, but you can get a replacement sent to you if you are going to be there for a few days.

https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-Parts-3314471-003-Shroud-Penguin/dp/B007S3KCBE/ Amazon has other covers if you don't have the Penguin II AC unit.

After seeing your post, I saw a white one intact on the side of the road - somewhere between Chicago and Nevada, can't remember where.  Guess it's not all that uncommon.

Sorry for the delay. I'm writing from Denali NP in Alaska. No, we did not tow our trailer up here. We are on a cruise/tour. The 180 should support your weight just fine. I had been up multiple times on our 179. Just stay on the flat part. That will support you. Stay away from the curved parts. Look for one of the factory tour videos and you will see people on the roof as they are being assembled.
