Solar panel mounting on rubber roof
Would like to mount solar panels on my 08 NuWa 36 FW but just can't bring myself to punch holes in the rubber roof. Anyboby have a idea? Brackets bolted to the gutter or side of trailer maybe? Thanks ...

If you use Eternabond Double-Stick tape over each hole, while you are fastening, the tape will seal each screw hole.
That's a very good idea. I've used EB before but did not think of using it in that way.
Nice info westend. Thanks for passing that along.
You're welcome.
FWIW, my method of fastening through an aluminum roof was to place the Eternabond tape and a couple of beads of Geocel sealant under aluminum channel pieces and screw directly into the roof trusses. I used three 1 1/2" #12 stainless steel screws for each channel. Since I have a tilting mount, I established three of these channel mounts to support the module.
