Truck camper, solar panels and wind buffeting???

I am mounting 4 50 watt solar panels on my Lance 845 truck camper. Open roof space is very limited, so I don't have a lot of options on where to put these panels. The plan as of now is to mount 3 pane...

Does eternabond tape work well on aluminum? might consider using it for the intermediate mounting points.

Kudos to you for not putting holes in that nice aluminum roof. Many people would not think twice about the consequences of doing so.

Oh, and anywhere the brackets may rub the roof, teflon tape applied to the ROOF for the brackets to abrade on would be a good thing. I used this on the bed rails of my Ranger pickup to protect it from the topper rubbing and it works well.
