Solar install

[Routemaster]

Hi. Is there a place in the 365 to drop a wire from solar panels? I have from the old coach all to install at some point.

Dropped mine down the grey tank vent pipe. That came out behind the basement wall...then simply seal and run wire to front compartment where it routes through fuse, then to Victron MPPT controller...to 6 Battle Born Lithium batteries.

What sort of weight will these RV roofs take for panels before dipping the roof down when bouncing down the roads?

I can not make up my mind were to place my two 220w panels they are <> 64.5"x 38.70".
I want buy more later, well my first thought is side by side then I could be able to tilt one but the other my get shadowed but should be able to walk between them.
Not too keen about the cap mounts, then there is in line maybe driver side.
I had one guy said not to close to the edge of coach for fear of trees?
Last choice down center of the roof.
Don't want to plant them up there and whished I hadn't.
Thoughts please.
Thanks.
Den.

I didn’t use any butyl but I did inject some caulk in the drill holes before inserting the screws. Finished by coating all fasteners with Dicor

My feet are on the ends does it matter the only I see panel flexing? I see yours are down from the ends.
Thank Den.

I doubt it if there will be much flex
There were no mounting holes in my panels. I decided the location and drilled them out. I placed mine where I did because the panels came with hardware to secure them if I wanted to tilt and angle them toward the sun.
