Default Newell Roof Snow Load Limit

We had a considerable amount of snow up here and today I pulled off 4 inches of snow and I know there has to be a roof load limit does anyone know what that might be?

I wouldn't be worried about the snow load nearly as much as a vent not venting and creating a dangerous condition in your coach.

There's only so much you can do. It's not worth risking life and limb climbing up on a snow/ice covered roof to shovel it off that's for sure. I don't think any RV roofs are actually tested for overall weight-bearing capabilities, so there's probably no known answer to the "how much" question. Now of course you can always give Newell Coach a call and see if they can answer your question.
