[RE-wrenches] Flexible panel install on airstream

[larry at starlightsolar.com]

We have always used Dicor 501LSW and screws for flexible modules. Apply a few ounces to back of module and around the screw holes if using screws, place the module on roof, roll in with a roller to spread the sealant some. If it oozes out the edges it will self level. Apply 501 over screw tops (photo is example of 501LSW covering 5 lag bolts and mounting foot) Great stuff.

Hey Wrenches,
       Here to get some advice on mounting options for some Renogy flexible panels on an airstream. I usually say no to any rvs but they are friends of the owner so it's in my lap now. The panels have 6 eyelets on them for mounting so I was thinking of using some sikaflex adhesive for the pack of the panels and then some blind rivets for the eyelets with small piece of butyl between the the bottom of the eyelet and the roof of the airstream to seal the holes. Anyone done these before or have any advise?
