triton roof
As the owner of a RV solar company, I've been on a lot of RV roofs. The best advice I can give you is, distribute the load. I own a Triton 2951 and we used a density based stud finder to find the studs. Put supports on every stud. You may need to build shims to allow for roof curvature. Run a support rail down the edges, attached to the frame at the top of the wall. We try to run the support rails the length of the RV, instead of across. This allows the wind to pass when driving down the road. 3"4 plywood platform without a frame also improves the wind resistance. Add hooks for a roofing ladder for easy access.
To make it super cool, add some flexible solar panels, the ones you can walk on, on the platform. They will wear out in about 4-5 years, but will give you a lot of power.
