Z bracket panel mount question
Using the Renogy Z brackets, how difficult is it to remove the panels should the need arise? Can you get a wrench under the panels to remove the nuts and bolts? Renogy roof mounbts

Off the shelf brackets are all poorly designed. It will take time manufactures to catch up with RV.net. On this one I also see weird looking tapping screws, I wouldn't use those either. Please understand that Reno-Ji thinkers don't know much about RV in general or your RV in particular.
You can use 2-piece bracket of aluminum angles like CA Traveler suggested, joined with 2 bolts (2 bolts will be better than one).
Location of brackets on the roof will be dictated by factors other than the location of OEM holes in the bottom of the frame, so you will likely have to drill new holes. And, since you're up to drilling, might as well drill it in the SIDE of the frame, and use a SINGLE-piece bracket of aluminum angle. 5" or 6" long piece of 3x3 or 4x4 angle. There is nothing to it. A lot more people here installed panels with holes in the panel side, than with holes in the bottom.
