The greatest wind effect at the front of RV probably deflects into no more than a rolling air effect aft (like a mountain wave) due to the shape of the rig. Thor anticipated this and made the proper move by pre-wiring the solar connections way back just ahead of the rear bedroom fan. I'd still love to see what this thing looks like in a wind tunnel.
The TPO roof does throw another consideration that's worthy of attention.
Still hovering over the "place your order" button.

Capt Tom if you seal each screw with silicone seal and then use the self leveling roof seal you should not have any problems. But you must seal the screws when you screw them in.
