United Solar Ovonic has a stick-on roof mounted solar panel. They are targeted for business and metal roof housing, but the 68 watts panel can be a nice fit for Trailmanor.

At 9.34' x 15.5" x 0.2", and 8.7 Lbs, it got me measuring the roof of my TM to see how it foots.

If you are considering a solar panel, these look like an easy, and TM friendly install. The Florida distributor states that they have Dade County hurricane approval, meaning that driving down the road at 70 mph will not peel it off your TM's roof. Hurricanes start at 70 mph.

Makes my Kyocera look like a dinosaur.

That's very interesting. From what I read the fact sheet specifies some application criteria that (I would imagine) restrict the warranty, as in certain surfaces that are required, and a certified installer. It sounds like a great product, though. I'm still thinking about a solar panel for our TM, but I'd like something that I could also use at the house and move it back and forth (or run wires from it into the house) as needed.

I just love how solar technology is advancing. If more people would buy, it would likely come down in price.
