An admitted RV amateur...but well versed in construction.
So here is my concern. Adhesive used on the roof has two fail points.
Wind ripping it off the roof while driving. Or, you adhesive doing it's job and the panel being ripped off and taking part of your rubber roof with it.
It just doesn't sound like a good idea to me (unless it would be shielded from the wind while driving).
The battery/solar shop I go to in my area showed me one of those and said the advantage to having flexible is to NOT attach it to the trailer since it is flexible, it goes in and out of the trailer easily...
