Wish I could have taken a picture of Winnabago with panels,

EDIT: Yes Niel, the panels were all locked at an angle which wasn't quite 45 degrees. They were mounted in a landscape position, with what appeared to be at least a foot of space between each panel. The arched rail was something I'd never seen for panels, let alone on an motorcoach. Sort of looked like an insect with an articulated shell.

...but I was driving the interstate at 70mph. This motorhome had 4 good size panels, attached via a pair of arched rails on the roof. Their wasn't any visible vibration, and the coach was traveling at freeway speed. These panels all had the same angle, guessing slightly less than 45 degrees. It was visually unique, I'd never seen this configuration before.

    are you saying they weren't flat? now that's risky unless facing in the direction of travel and even then i'd be leery as that's a lot of air pressure. of course that only means they can park facing south if angled and what are the odds they'd be able to park facing south at every stop?
