It used to take about 19hrs from Dysfunction Junction(I275+I4) via I95. That was by car. For scenery and sanity, skip I95.
I too have some 2x4 panels I was planning to mount on the roof. There are two of the same on my sailboat. They put out 15w and weigh almost 10lbs each. Must have been why they were free. I have since come to my senses and decided not to use these on the road. For now, just a GoalZero 50w on the dash of the truck. The truck is wired to charge the camper batteries.
I like your idea of a portable rack under the overhang. Some type of sliding tray would be nifty. A roof mount would be much more effort and expense.
