Mounting solar panels on Jayco Hawk

Cant answer the questions you asked, but be wary as to how much weight you put up on the roof. The lifters will only take so much.I'd be asking Jayco what they would recommend.

I doubt that the roof off the Hawk is capable of supporting an A/C unit. As for the solar panels, doesn't really matter as you will have the entire roof area to choose from. The only option you may have for A/C is an underfloor unit if space permits. I have a Swan and because of the extensive window openings I don't find cooling/circulation a problem.

We have two 120w solar panels mounted on a square tube frame which screws on to edge of roof with angle bracket similar to boat rack.
Ours is an Eagle so same size and from experience I would not add any more weight up there with aircon.
Plenty of ventilation in these campers which we supplement with an " Endless Breeze " 12 volt square style 3 speed fan when it gets still and sticky.

Good luck

Have a look at this thread in another forum. May give you an idea

Thanks for the advice. I checked Jayco's web site and they don't offer A/C as an option so I guess the roof may not be up to it. I have only just bought it so I haven't used it in the summer yet. I love my A/C but I'll see how I go. As a couple of replies said, there are a lot of windows so it may not be necessary.
Thanks.
