Hi Ragingbull,
I'm already 100 inches wide. Adding more width might put me over the legal limit. (anyone know what that is btw?)

Another definitely workable idea is panels that would nest underneath each other. The upper level would be active while traveling and the lower level could be deployed when stopped.

I'm surprised no one has come up with a hinge mount that allows the panels to hang over the side and lock down while moving. When setup at camp you could swing them up and have them lock into place. No roof space taken at all and a little extra shade to boot.
You could probably rig some kind of setup to work in conjunction with your slide outs if you have them.
