Weight limit on Tab 400 roof

Wondering if anyone knows how much weight the roof of a Tab 400 BDL can support?  I'm not looking to do the Chicken Dance up there, but I'd like to wash it and it would be easier from on top.  Also wondering what to do if the fan cover needs maintenance?  I have an 8 ft step ladder - can I just slide onto the roof from that?  I weigh in at about 150 lbs.
(Also not sure of the best category for this one).

    The roof is not designed to support the weight of an adult. Even when replacing the fan vent or working on solar panels, all work must be done from the side or you will dent the roof.

    @TresK3, I would recommend standing on a ladder and washing with a brush that is at the end of a pole (but a 10' - 12' ladder would be better.)  Using the brush has always worked well for me.  I agree with @VictoriaP that the trailer's roof will not support your weight.  You risk damaging it.

    Pretty much what I assumed.  Just wanted to ask.
