Walking on 3912 roof

Does anyone know how much weight the roof on a Cyclone 3912 can support? I've never felt comfortable walking on a roof because I weigh about 250 pounds. However, I would like to cover my vehicle this winter and being able to walk up there would make it a lot easier to put on and remove. Should I be concerned about walking on it?

This was asked a few weeks back and the factory rep stated 300# would be the max. I think the major concern for everyone is the ladder going up to the roof. I periodically check the screws on the ladder to make sure they are tight, so far so good.

If you must walk on the roof..............walk on the outer edges.........less chance of bending the roof trusses. I weigh 195 lbs and walk everywhere on the roof except roof penetrations (A/C, skylight, vents, etc). Walk flat foot and slowly.
