Cool Ice melt

So we are up at the trailer for the weekend and with the warmer Temps and us heating up the trailer, there are ice jams on the edges of the roof, especially near the roof vent with icicles hanging down. (pic) Is this a concern for the roof edge...Sorry for the side ways pictures again. Maybe John can turn them again like he always has to, i just don't get it.. ...Checked the roof and sealant a few weeks ago and it looked great with no concerns.

I agree, since you will not be going on the road with it, just let it melt on it's own. Trying to remove it may cause problems. Enjoy your weekend, Hank

X3 !!! The biggest problem with removing ice from an RV roof is peeling the TPO membrane off the roof with the ice. Leave it alone, it'll melt on its own in June or July..... Heck it may even melt tomorrow with the 40F temps if the sun shines any at all.

Since you're not moving it, let Mother Nature do the cleanup......
