Bottom line it’s not worth it. Now we don’t let anyone on the roof of our class A.

We had an older Winnebago that went to the Rolex 24 one year. The roof held 3 adult men and 3 teenage boys off and on for 24 hours. Next trip out it poured rain and the roof leaked, which lead to a tearing off of the entire roof, rebuilding and installing new roof. Not for the feint of heart. Held up well for a few years until an axle broke and the wheels fell off.
Moral of the story, don't park yourself on the roof unless you've done some serious research, engineering, and construction to spread the weight out. It's not worth the damage risk otherwise.
