Jshupe, not to change the subject but unless I missed it, you should post in a new thread about your solar panel layout.
It's mentioned in this
build thread, but I stopped posting in the thread after a while. Didn't seem to have much interest.
The rack adds about 1" to the total height, with the AC unit tucked up between the rails -- we've put about 9K miles on the camper since adding it, without issue. It used to be a couple inches higher but I reworked it to hover just over the AC unit, to make up for the height gain I'll get from a flatbed I'm having built.
It has 5x360W REC Alpha panels for 1800W total. They're wired in series into a Victron 250/60 controller with a 11.8kWh 48V bank.
