Folks, I am a big guy - 250 lbs. - and want to do some cleaning on the roof of our mobile home. Can I walk on it?

depends on what shape and type the roof is. Shingle roofs should not be walked on much as it takes the aggregate off it. Membrane covered roofs can be punctured too. If it a weight issue the roof should be strong enough but a sheet of plywood to distribute the weight will help.

Hi,

Also stay off the very edge of the roof and stay on the rafters.
