My Jamboree Class C I’m working on to add solar has a crowned roof (about 4.5”) at the center with a flat section about 3” wide at each edge. After looking at various track systems with Yakima towers, I decided I’d be fiddling so much I might as well start from scratch and build crossbars that span the whole roof.
I’ve drawn up racks that will span the width of the roof from 16-ga 1” sq steel tube. Each foot will have a pad to spread the load. The panels will be mounted on aluminum T-section bar running longitudinally and allowing me to install multiple mounting brackets. (Comments welcome)
The main question is understanding the options for attaching the racks to the roof. I haven’t heard back from the manufacturer about the material and recommended adhesive and mounting strategy, but I was hoping that someone would have some general guidance.
The roof is some sort of rubberized coating. I understand that this is unsuitable for VHB tape, right? I’m figuring on Dicor, VHB and as few screws through the roof as possible.
Guidance and comments are greatly appreciated!
