Thanks, Rick, that’s an interesting idea. I called both the factory and our local Trailmanor dealer, and I was surprised to find that, in both cases, they install panels with brackets (probably the Renogy brackets) that have 2 holes each with just sheet metal screws, and then put either silicone or lap sealant around the bracket, and call it a day. Wow. Northern Arizona Wind and Sun uses a bracket with butyl tape attached (much like what is used to attach the roof vents) as well as some sheet metal screws with some unusual type of lock washer.

In any event, while I know these panels are likely smaller than mine, all I would need to do I think is add more brackets, and if I wanted more security (and I think I do), I could also put in some strong pop rivets as Eric suggested.
