Good idea. I will take some pics and write something on how I did it. I made it so that it tilts 4 ways too. (Although I've never had to tile it due to the high wattage panel. As soon as I get the time I will get something done for all.

I also like your solar and that you went with LED bulbs. Sounds like you have yourself set up to be off grid for a couple of weeks at a time. 490 watts is a pretty healthy set of panels. I did solar on my previous Fleetwood Class C. I want to do solar on my Airstream Motor coach but I want to do the flex panels to keep with the rounded shape of the roof. Maybe someday you can write a story or blog on your solar install to share with all of us.

Although I want to keep the unit much the same as is, I am adding 2 deep cycle batteries so will be a hatch cover on opposite side from entrance. I am also adding a pure-sine inverter (1500 W) to run a CPAP machine. I will add another propane tank as well and a 19 W solar panel and 20 Amp MPPT controller. That will allow me to be off-road for a spell in both summer and winter. Vancouver Island, where I live, is good for winter trailering. Can't wait. Want to get the kayak in the water too.
