I've ordered the Micro-Air easy start. They say my 2500w will run the 13.5 roof air, we will see. I will update after I get it installed and tested.

Sorry for the late reply. The panels are eco-worthy 100 watt. I used 4950 vhb tape and dicor to glue them down with 6 z brackets per panel. the controller and battery monitors are from bogart. The batteries are cabelas 31 agm. I used 10ga from the panels to the junction box on the roof and 4ga from there to the controller. Some may think this is overkill we camp in areas with little sun and have to have enough to power the cpap and lights for at least a few days. The battery compartment contains the batteries, controller, disconnect and a 2000w inverter. Upgrades for this year are a 2500 watt generator and air conditioner soft start. Most parts were purchased on Amazon.

I used 10' of 6ga fine strand wire. I'm an EE so I did it to spec. I used the Bogart controller and monitor. There is no zamp as this is a 2013 so i used an AM solar junction box on the roof. The monitor display is mounted above the tank heater switches. There is enough room left in the battery box for a 2k inverter and the required disconnects and fuses. Yes they are 100amp panels and they are glued to the roof per the AM Solar instructions.

Well I got 4 panels glued to the roof. I ended up drilling through the roof in the space between the cabinet and where the tv is mounted. The 4 panels had the 4 deep cycle AGM batteries charged by 1pm each day while in Utah. I was able to fit the 4 batteries in the battery compartment.

Hello,
I own a 2014 tc11. I would like to add solar to the roof. I see that they now offer a solar pre wire on new units. How are these wired, where do the pierce the roof and where do the run the wires? Are there recommended locations for the solar z mounts?
Thanks.  Lynn
