When snow melts and then the resulting water freezes into ice it expands and will open any gap like a giant pry bar that is possible to be opened.

As for the heated mats that have also been mentioned, they need a reliable source of electricity, otherwise you get the same problem listed above especially if the site is in a remote location.

To the OP... As I see it, you will have to develop a fanatical snow removal "religion" and actively stay ahead of any accumulation without fail. RVs (with the possible exception of an A-Liner) are not designed for heavy snow loading.
