Hi all,
We have a class C 1986 Ford E-350 (Vanguard 1985) motorhome. We were wondering about the best fastener solution for strut channels and/or solar panel brackets to the roof. We are planning to install the panels on the front (the cab roof).
Would we just screw them to the roof (and what type of screw) and then seal them? Should we use rivet nuts with lag bolts?
For any solution that we would come up with, we would make sure to seal and also use double-sided tape (VHB).
How can we find out what material the roof is made of?
Here is the photo of the roof:
