When deciding on mounting locations, I chose to have panels fairly evenly distributed from front to rear. My logic was that some of the roof may end up shaded and I will neve be able to predict just where on the roof that the shading will occur. So my method pretty much means I will always have some panels producing power. I noticed that phase one of your diagram you are pretty heavy towards the rear or front (100/200s) Of course there is a flip side to my thinking, and you know what scenarios you may find yourself in better than I... So just something to think about.
Of course if you go ahead with phase two, there is no issue.Last edited by huntindog; 01-17-2022 at 05:58 PM.

I just got a leaf blower from one of my kids for Christmas. I wanted it for the express purpose of cleaning the camper roof. (My wife is the one who gets up there. I normally don't, and when I do service for the seals and stuff I use a ladder. With the one on the rig I just can't make the transition to the roof.

I think this is where I’ve ended up. But first, a couple 206Ah batteries and the inverter, and play with it for a while. The 200w panels would be first if/when solar, then the 100w array on a second charge controller. I plan to use unistrut so I can hit the ceiling joists with screws, and tilt mounts for convenience. This design still keeps plenty of roof and slide access, while fitting 1200 watts up there.
