It's just a personal opinion, but using the Escape forum to promote another brand and discourage the purchase of an Escape is just plain wrong.

Awaiting the claims that I'm an Escape cheerleader...

I'm liking the return to rationality here. Nobody does everything perfect, but all in all, Escape has been one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.

OK, fair enough. I was thinking more about the sealing properties instead of holding. I assume the bolts would do the holding.

What about a piece of Butyl tape under the brackets, then just sealing the bracket edge and top with the ProFlex? Seems to me that would provide a very good seal.

Charlie, the cable tie down method is for solar panels mounted in the middle of the roof, and they used to locate the panel there on the 19. On my 19, the solar panel is in the same location as yours...

Yes, but we were talking about a tape on system vs an epoxy, not a bolt on. If it's bolted on, the 4 small feet would be more than adequate imho.

That's very true Pat. But, I'm thinking the smaller mounting surface area would produce a weaker mount.

I don't think there's enough room to mount it that way, at least on my 19. Besides, that would be several feet of high end VHB, which would cost around $50. Perhaps that's why ETI's method was to use...

Our solar panel blew off!!

I think you would have bigger concerns than the panel in that case, since you will have just driven through a tornado. The RP45 is strong stuff.

That sounds like a good idea Charlie. If your mounts are solid there may be no need to do anything else. I checked mine and they're like a rock. I note with interest that the ones that failed are...

My thoughts exactly. If it's drilling a couple holes and bolting things up I can surely do it myself, but we won't know until we get the kits.

Just an opinion, but I think that's overreacting. Its very rare to have an issue with the panel mounts.

Only Heaven knows Pat - or maybe the poor soul who found the panel mangled in the middle of the road.

Um, probably with the solar panel, wherever that is, since they were bolted to the panel.

Thought so Larry. Thanks for clarifying. For a moment there I thought someone at ETI was drilling through that beautiful shell to mount it. :eek:

I would be surprised if that were the case. Our panel is bolted to two roof rails, but the rails are epoxied to the roof, just as Alf's are - the bolts don't pierce the shell.
