Different strokes for different folks
To each his own

That said...read the comments on Amazon. There are many (mine is on there as well)

Here's one:
"These in combination with Sikaflex 221 is an unbeatable combo. The first time I installed solar panels on an RV roof, I used regular steel mounting brackets and screws. Big mistake. The screws did not find much to bite into, since RV roofs aren't made of much other than insulation. And of course, any time you drill a hole, you are making a potential leakage point, meaning careful sealing and constant maintenance.

With these brackets, you have plenty of surface area to get really good adhesion to the roof. Use a bunch of Sikaflex, and you are good to go. I mounted my Renogy solar panels to the brackets by drilling holes (each bracket has recessed points specifically for this, and using bolts. After the brackets were bolted on, I glued them down to the RV roof using Sikaflex. This will allow me to change out the panels easily should one become damaged, but I did not have to drill holes to mount the panels.

I have driven all over the country with this setup, through all weather conditions. Zero problems."
