adhesive for solar panel to rubber roof

There is a third alternative, at least for fiberglass owners. You can take the RV to a fiberglass specialist who could glass up some mounting points that the solar panels can be permanently mounted to that are designed to accommodate screws or bolts but don't penetrate the roof.
The method is likely not to be cheap, at least as compared to just using screws and sealant but, as someone who has spent thousands of dollars trying to fix dry rot on a Lance 1170 (now since sold) because of a solar panel installed on the roof by a previous owner, I've already lost on the cost front by someone going the cheap route. I'm just not in a rush to add another hole up there if I can avoid it.
I'm not saying I will go this route, but it is something I have in mind to get a quote on when I get other fiberglass repair work done sometime.
