  • Roof Rack for Mounting Solar Panel on RV with Factory Rain Gutters
  • The Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSD referenced in your question are designed to attach to factory rain gutters like what it sounds like you have on your RV. Installing these feet along with a pair of square crossbars like the 71 inch # IN434 should work well to mount your solar panel on the roof.
