Solar Install on Roo 23SS roof
I am in the process of setting up a solar install on our HTT 2011 Rockwood 23SS. I'm looking to mount my 235W panel on the roof - any experiences here on how the roof is constructed on our trailers? ...

Thanks Don- I have appreciated all your posts here on solar. I have learned a lot, and is assisting me a great deal in my design.
I see 2 options for me on achieving the 5% tilt (in storage the trailer is nose high so not an issue, this I guess is more for when camping).
(1) the roof slopes side to side (vs front to back like 5er), I could mount the panel on one side using the natural slop of the roof- but then I would probably need another panel (which is in my long term plan once I install an inverter)
(2) Can I mount the panel flat side to side, but angled with the back up 5%?
What other options might I be missing - how do other achieve?
I really don't want to get into a movable tilt design as it isn't easy to get up on the roof while camping.
thanks
