Lots of folks use flexible panels and just glue them down. I chose to put a single 80W rigid panel on with “Z” brackets screwed into the aluminum rafters. Rigid panels last longer and mounting this way leaves an air space underneath which aids cooling. My one panel requires no attention and is more than adequate to keep both the house and chassis batteries topped up when in storage. I consider it one of the best things I’ve added to my coach.
