According to the Keystone web site all Sprinters have a fully walkable roof.

Yeah, that looks *totally* real.
*Most* of our trailers have walkable roofs. How else do they get up there to service the topside utilities? Naturally, you should exercise good judgement. While you’re up there, scrub the roof with a bit of Dawn soapy water and a medium bristle brush.

Fireman,
The 2010 brochure describes it as 3/8" walkable roof decking... pages 6-7.

That photo is from the Keystone Sprinter web-site ...... Hopefully they build the trailers better than they use "Photo Shop®".

The picture looks totally fake but I still believe it would support the weight if properly distributed.

Look at the whole photo, most likely taken in the factory, then Photoshopped into the country.

Guy #1 must be pretty close to the front edge since we can see his feet. Guy #2 is either standing on top of the AC or has *really* long legs. The lighting just doesn’t match up, either. The trailer looks like it’s indoors, but the guys look like they’re in the sun.
Nope, I’m just not buying it.
