I am comfortable with everything in the project, but mounting the panels on the roof os concerning me most. Do you have to find a joist to screw into or if there enough substance in the sheeting to hold the mounts?

Ok, that helps a bunch. So once you get to the underbelly how did you get the cables into the battery compartment? Is it over head or beneath the floor and into the front cavity?

This is a great thread so I wanted to "Thank" Erick and all those who contributed. I am going to use this "guide" as a basis to install a Winegard SK-SWM3 on the rear slope of my 337. The mounting of that unit to get it level on the sloped section will be fun, but I have some ideas to make it work. I was dreading trying to find a channel to get my cable down to the basement, but seeing the open wall has given me all kinds of ideas and confidence to do the job. I have some automotive panel plastic pry tools I think will come in handy for prying off the panel without damage. I knew there was basically only 2 walls to go down (both sides of the bathroom basically) as the outside walls are full of styrofoam or are slide walls. I just never thought to pry the whole panel off which now makes complete sense.
I noticed in the pictures there was a fully open cavity closer to the cabinet. Was there any reason "Not" to use that and go straight up to penetrate the roof rather than having to pop off the panel where the fan is to get back to the center of the roof? Also, can you use a fish tape to get further down the center to a drilled hole (lets say) instead of running wire across the top of the roof? Just curious
Once the wires are in the basement (basically in the "scattered wire area") I can attach to the coax feeds down there to get the signal where it needs to go. If this area was organized and "straightened out", you could add a whole lot of storage just by building a new beauty panel wall. Has anyone done this?
Thanks again, this was a very BIG help!

The inverter is just an inverter, no charger. I swapped the stock WTFCO converter charger for a Progressive Dynamics PD9260C with remote pendant......
