Thanks for the pic of the install. I much prefer this, invisible from the ground and no drilling. I will have to leave our trailer at a storage yard and can see someone trying to steal the 190W panel.

You could put a TV antenna on a telescoping mast mounted on your rear bumper. It would leave more room for your panels, but you'd have to drill a hole to get the wire in.
The King TV antenna is the disc-shaped one on the right in this photo.

I like that a/c cover, can you disclose a source. Good compromise if you can not cover the entire roof.

Thx

I know I'm late to the discussion but ETI put 2 solar panels AND the Jack antenna on my 5.0 and I've since added an XM satellite antenna and a small mushroom vent on the roof over the entry cabinet and there is still room in that area for a couple more things if too not large.
