Just curious, do you park your pup in full sun? Most of the places I camp in are shady...I ended up buying a 120 watt Portable folding solar panel with a built in charger so I can keep it in the sun as long as possible for maximum charging.

I used 12” sections of aluminum Uni-strut to attach my panels to the roof. I layed out and secured three anchors into the plywood roofing for each piece of Uni-strut (six Uni-struts per panel), covered each anchor site with a wide piece of Eternibond, and then secured the Unistrut. I then covered everything with lots of Dicor. With six Uni-strut sections per panel, secured with a total of 18 stainless steel anchored screws, my panels aren’t going anywhere.....

Though sometimes you will get someone to bend the rules, Jayco generally won't provide drawings or schematics until a unit is two years old, and off warranty.... I know... it doesn't make sense, but too many of us have been told this.....
