I don’t recall any posting on this forum regarding a solar panel separating from an RV roof and I’ve never seen a busted up panel on the road or an RV missing a panel. IMO about two to three RVs with panels have some type of air dam while 97 out of 100 don’t. Last month at Furnace Creek CG 20 to 25% had some type of solar system.

My counts were not unexpected since the NP’s FCCG of course has no hookups. Might be different at FC Ranch.
