    Absolutely right you are, shelf it should have been. Will I, forgiven be? [emoji1] I don't think they make any other color, but you can double check. You can always paint your roof white to match the Dicor. [emoji1][emoji106]

    I've noticed that, but it's too late to change it now. [emoji106]

    A nice amount of Dicor lap sealant on the solar panel cables going through the roof will keep it nice ant water tight; And here's a view from the inside where the cables come in inside the cabinet; Next I made room for the charge controller by cutting part of the top shelve; I screwed the...

    Kyocera 325w: good choice for the van?

    Cool, thank you! The wire supplied by NAWS to connect the charge controller to batteries was xlp 6 gauge. Do I need to get the same type or does any 6 gauge (12v) will do?

    Kyocera 325w: good choice for the van?

    I would like to thank everyone that contributed to my knowledge of 12v and solar installation. Without your valued help my installation wouldn't have been possible in such short period of time. Thank you! I do have one more question. It may have been answered before but I can't remember; what...

    You must have remarkable patience and courage to read the entire thing. [emoji23] thank you! The VanAir vents aren't connected yet, as I'm still working on my solar. My intention from the beginning was not to have them running, though I can, but to just leave them open and have the Fantastic...

    Thanks for the warning Mike! I have them going in almost straight down, so it should be ok but I'll double check now the you mentioned it. Thanks Mike! [emoji1][emoji106][emoji604]

    Just Got a Van!

    I was going to say that your van looks eerily similar to mine, but then read this thread from the beginning and now I know why. [emoji1][emoji106][emoji604]

    2014 Chevy Express 2500 Van Build: Luisafernandes

    Cleaned and painted the two aluminum pieces; Tested the space for the batteries. They fit perfectly under one of my cabinets; Then, after some measuring and rechecking to make sure I was doing it right, I drilled 2 holes for the cables from the solar panel; I first used a drill bit just...

    Hi GPS...I mean PSG, no sorry...CCCP, no wait, that the communists...got it...GSSP! [emoji23] Actually I did, but saw people doing review of very expensive coolers like that one, and of less expensive ones like mine, and the difference was absolutely pathetic. Actually some of the cheaper ones...

    Thank you for the information! Thing is, I really don't know a metal supply house in the area, and I would probably waste more time trying to find one than it took me to go to Lowes and get what I needed. If for example, I was fabricating my entire roof rack myself, then finding one of those...

    2014 Chevy Express 2500 Van Build: Luisafernandes

    Began the solar installation! First, used a some stock lumber to get the right measurements off of my roof rack; Then realized that the cross pieces on the roof rack aren't all spaced the same length, for I checked the first segment only, assuming they were all the same. As you can see, the...

    I apologize...I took the pictures for the above roof vent installation as screen captures, unfortunately I deleted the videos. [emoji22] I can say that so far they are working great! No need to open the front windows, I get all the fresh air I need. The past couple weeks we've had days up in...
