Solar Install
I'm installing solar panels on my Host Everest. Does anyone know if the roof will support using self drilling screws, or do I need to hit a crossmember?

For the record, I don't have a solar panel mounted on my TC, so your panel(s) will fall off way before mine will. ;)
Jim, ya missed the boat on this one...
First, this IS the OP "doing his research" and second, you either didn't think about this before responding, or maybe you have more knowledge here that you're just not sharing?
I don't see attaching something heavy that turns to a sail and experiences 100+mph winds with tape, to another "soft" surface that is glued down being a great, or even good idea.
Why is it a good idea to you? Honest question.
I've seen enough rubber roof membranes look like bed sheets buffeting on top of campers rolling down the road to be pretty certain that the bond between the roof and the membrane most likely isnt rated or even feasible to withstand constant force of trying to delaminate it from the roof.:R
