Recently I created a speadsheet comparing the sizes of various Renogy rigid solar panels and the power and weight of single panels vs multiple panels. The results clearly show that using the largest single panel that will fit is seriously worth considering in order to minimize weight, and cost.
I subsequently included the dimensions of several 360/370 W residential panels from LG, Panasonic, Rec solar and Sun Power along with a table showing the roof sizes of the various slide in FWC campers.

Since the maximum physical size of solar panel (and thus limiting the power which is related to the overall size of the panel) that can be mounted to the camper roof depends on the vent locations, I am seeking that information to update my spreadsheet which I will make available once updated.
Of interest are the measurements of locations and separation of vents on the various FWC camper models.
Specifically, I am seeking the distance from the front edge of the camper to the front vent body, the distance between vents edge to edge (not center to center), if more than one vent, and the distance from the back edge of the camper to the rear most vent body.
Since I do not know how the vent locations vary with model or year of manufacture or with interior layout (i.e. rollover couch, front dinette, rear dinette) so I would like to know that information as well if anyone responds to this request.
I presently have measurements for a 2019 Raven with rollover couch and two roof vents, a Hawk of unknown year and unknown interior layout with two roof vents and a 2007 Keystone with rollover couch and two roof vents.
Here is a list of the desired information

Craig

- Year

- Interior layout
- # of vents
- Dist front edge of camper to front vent
- Space between vents
- Dist back edge of camper to back vent
