Grayhawk 29MV roof top measurements

I was thinking of measuring out the roof on the 29MV for solar panel fitments this weekend. Has anyone already done this or have anything to share from their own projects?


Thanks in advance!

Wow your roof looks so clean compared to mine. You have 2 panels total now? What location did they run the wire into the rig at?

Im not 100% sure to be honest as i bought it used

But i do believe:

If u look at the first few pics there is a item on the roof that has 1 positive terminal and then a negative slightly under the solar panel (i forget what the item is called) they ran them i believe between the wall of the bathroom as u can see where the other pic shows the battery tri-metric charging board, on the opposite wall is the bathroom vanity

But ill have to take another look under the rv to get a better look
