Bob, We have installed many hundreds of panels on RV's, semi's and
other mobiles (even golf carts!). Good news: Never had anyone report
damage.

I have put 3, 100 watt panels on travel trailers in the past so 1
should be no problem.
But AC is a hard load to run, i guess the easy part is that the
engine would do most of the battery charging for the system so a
single panel would be enough unless he was spending a bunch of time
in a parking lot just sitting.
I would worry about a panel as an airfoil, just because of the
debris it will likely encounter at road speeds.
Just some thoughts,
Bob

Wrenches i had an interesting request today. I have a nieghbor who
is an over the road truck driver and he wants air conditioning while
he sleeps. The specifics i won't bore you with. but he has seen a
"Molded panel" that fits on the roof that takes the place of the
airfoil on the cab.
Has any one seen anything like this? He really wants a pv panel on
the roof. He currently has a remote start generator onboard and we
will install a bank of deep cycle batteries and an inverter but i
question the Solar panel on the roof of the Tractor.
