Hello From The New Guy

[Master Mechanic]

50 years as a mechanic. 40 years racing off road motorcycles and common sense so i used Master Mechanic name
like many the house crash got me. started with only 30.00 to 40.00 a month for food. yes i was starving. then had a stroke if that wasn't enough 8 months no hot water then lost everything. my racer attitude never give up no matter what i have mostly recovered from stroke.
my goal now is use my skills at building 7x14 cargo trailer with 20 100watt solar panels and room for fan in rear over shower and room for antena's. took some research but can be done.

Wow, that's fantastic! Gives you plenty of flexibility to use all of your roof real estate. I had 7 x 100 on my last van. It was enough to run the roof AC if the sun was strong enough!

simple really but not a cheap setup.
Firgelli Automations 40" Guide Rail 400lbs Capacity
10 panels top 10 panels on rails under em. when parked just pull out the 10 may do all 20 on rails to do wiring easier. only found one brand of solar panel that has correct size. UL listed and out performs other brands
