When you mounted it to your roof how did you do it? And has your roof leaked from where your mounts are?

I didn't mount them to the roof cause I needed 50" ones and so I mounted them to the side of my tool box on my work truck and the look bad a**!!! Only problem I keep melting switches and I need to put in bigger gauge wire for decrease in heat.. Other than that lots of compliments and they do the job!!

i didn't encounter any problems. Here is a picture from the construction we made to base them.https://www.facebook.com/BuffRacingTeam/photos/a.633984966639996.1073741841.541274735911020/633985059973320/?type=3&theater;

For the mounting bolts I put a rubber washer on both sides as well as a metal washer to keep it flat and a lock washer to keep the nut tight. For the wiring hole I put a rubber washer around the wire insulation and forced it into the hole as far as I could then sealed it up with black silicone. No leaks so far after going through light rain as well as heavy snow that later melted while still on the roof.

I mounted it to the roof of a Polaris Ranger. I just got longer bolts and bolted right through the roll cage. Yes is leaks a little, but not a big deal since the cab is open.

I had mine mounted on top of my roof basket that was bolted to my roof. N-Fab makes brackets or you can custom make them. Also Mark at Slaughterhouse in Houston makes some.

I would not recommend this product. The problem was with the humidifier. The 2L plastic they suggest using, collapse on themselves and then leak all over. Thinking I had a defective unit I returned that one for a new one. Same problem. Even though you wouldn't mind the water on your roof, the water would empty out and you would have no more mist. I bought this unit from Amazon and think it's great. The only drawback is the smaller water vessel. But that no big deal. My model is: Lasko 6462 and was purchased from Amazon. I hope this helps.

If you drill thru roof and use washers on top, then seal to stop leaks. 2 guns hanging on rough ground can cause the small screws sent with the rack to come falling down.

Our attic had poor ventilation (almost none).... When the sun hit the snow on the roof, we got water dripping from the ceiling. It appears that when this happens and the attic gets warm.... condensation forms on the inner roof and them drips down. At first, I thought the roof was leaking from the shingle side. The roofer suggested using a gable mount fan with additional venting. If you have high humility in the attic (winter too) then use a combination gable fan thermostat and humidistat. About $50.00 on Amazon.

Insufficiently sealed in my direct experience. It rained lightly here three or four days after installation and water collected around the solar panel and it stopped working. Sealing just the back panel (which is critical, as there's a keyhole mounting hole that's *OPEN TO THE INSIDE* in the back panel) is apparently not sufficient. Seal around the solar panel too.

I have not done it, but you are supposed to be able to mount the compressor unit on the roof my understanding is that yes you can.

Did you mount it to the vent pipes by using rubber couplers or glue the pipe right to the fan? Was it quiet to begin with and now is loud or did you just start it and hear it being loud?

I have two mounted outside; one in the open and one under a balconey; no leaks found yet!

I would be concerned about roof leaks and wind when driving the RV. RV roofs are flat and pooled water would probably seep into screw holes. I supposed you could glue it, but that's a total hack. Driving with that on the roof would be potential trouble as well.

we have a detached garage so what we did was we ran it down against the rain spout in a conduit then buried it under our pathway to the main house. We haven't had problems with those cameras, I think it was a flexible conduit. We do have other 2 of our 8 cameras out now, and q-see customer service sucks! (unrelated to the buried cord)

Mounts to Sheetrock with included anchors and screws. It doesn't leak water unless it is over watered.

Mine has not leaked. It is pretty tough. Even after backing my car onto the corner, it just popped back out by itself after a while. If yours leaks, you could fill it with sand or cement.

Before I mounted mine I sealed what little might have water or condensation come through with all weather. Silicone caulk and electrical tape. I have mine mounted to the side of my house about five feet from my camera, Ivehad mine a for a few months and looks like its holding up pretty well with no problems. The cord it comes with is pretty short so you might have to install a new outlet near the mounting point or run an extension cord.

I did you a roof rack along with the sheet I purchased to keep it from slipping. The straps they included are pretty useless - I used bungie cords to strap it down. I also put the contents in plastic garbage bags to keep them dry if it rained. It did rain and because of the bags, everything inside remained dry.

I had the same concern. Here is what I did and it actually worked. The put the legs and fluid mechanism in a medium dry bag and taped the top shut.
