I'll give you 1000-1 odds it's more than 1/8 inch with 4' support spacing.
Personally, I would steer clear of the roof entirely. I would mount a simple folding bracket on the rear wall that allows you to tilt them up when parked but quickly drop them for travel. That avoids penetrations thru the roof and considerations of wind resistance. It also allows for better airflow under the panel (they put out less power when overheated). When parked, they wouldn't block any windows. As long as the deployed position is close to the roof line, shading shouldn't be an issue.
The only possible downside is if you have a viable rear window that works with your rear view mirror, you might lose that...but the majority of RV's (include class C's) don't.
