Does anyone have a picture of the solar panel which is installed on the Monaco Diplomat?
According to the powers that be you should clean it once a month. As I'm not too kean on going on the roof I'd like to know what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It should look something like the very dark rectangular fixture between the A/C's.

Thank you for the pictures and the answer.

I don't like heights either. I watch the solar charger panel. If it's sunny out but not charging well I will go up there. Here in the desert it's usually 4 or 5 times a year. We are full timing and use the solar panel to keep the chassis battery charged.

We do a lot of winter driving, get a lot of dirt on the coach including the top. I've cleaned mine once in 4 years, result was a negligible improvement in output.
