    Mounting panels

    Thank you, I plan on it. I know VHB isn't your preference, but would it work on the ABS mounts instead of screwing into the panels? The aluminum is in great shape, but it is white, so I plan on using a wire brush to get to bare metal, then follow instructions exactly.

    Mounting panels

    How did you mount your panels? I purchased the mounts you mentioned, but they dont come with instructions. They way I picture it, buff the roof to the aluminum where the pieces lay down, alcohol, VHB, mount, then from there I'm not sure; lay in the panel, and drill through the indents in the...

    Mounting panels

    Thank you for all the options! @highdesertranger I have 4 Renogy rigid panels, I got similar mounts to the ones @Bobhdus linked. Do I use the YHB tape to secure the mounts and screw the panels in to the plastic, and will that be enough clearance? I do have an aluminum roof, to whomever asked...

    Mounting panels

    @Matlock Thank you, I honestly would not have landed on that, I was thinking braces on the side, unistrut, and the panels mounted to the unistrut. I appreciate the advice, i'll look into getting my roof buffed out and taping down. I just looked up the tape, that's some serious stuff! I was...

    Mounting panels

    I have a P-30 I'm looking to mount a Renogy 400 watt kit on. My question is, what is the best way to mount the panels on top? Is there a preferred rugged bracket or way that folks have found works best to mount panels on a large, flat topped vehicle, safely and securely? Thanks for any advice.

    Stepvan, box truck or other- how did you decide your vehicle?

    I love the idea of stealth camping, and a vehicle that is completely inconspicuous when on the road. A step van fit that perfectly; plenty of room, access to the "living area" without leaving the vehicle, room for solar, onboard generator, squared off for ease of remodel, etc... They are built...

    Hello from Wisco

    Just purchased a 1995 chevy p30, 15' cargo, double back doors, sliding bulkhead, and lift gate. It's in great condition, and the interior came with walls, all covered in business carpet, and a 6.5' room on one side, looking for ideas to not have to tear it out. Also, will the carpet cause...
