Flying cabinet upgrade - my closet
Wednesday, April 12, 2017
Solar upgrade.
I added a 120W flexible solar panel to the roof. This will provide the power to keep my camper battery charged and the 12v refrigerator running - that is good thing. Some folk will just glue or VHB tape this type of panel to the roof, but I did not want to go that route. If it fails for I want to change the configuration, I wanted a different setup which could easily be removed. Polycarbonate sheet to the rescue.
I reinforced the sides with aluminum C channel and then bolted the ends to some aluminum L brackets that I mounted to the roof.
VHB'd the panel to the polycarbonate panel
All bolted down and ready to do
Panel fending off attack from flying lawnmower.
Now it is ready for the ultimate test - the highway - will it blow off the roof?

Highway 12 out of Bryce Canyon National Park
If you ever find yourself in this part of the world, I highly recommend taking the scenic byway highway 12 coming out of Bryce National Park - incredible in all ways. You drive through amazing rock formations, canyons, mountains, and in my case bright yellow aspen trees taking on their fall color. Watch for the occasional cow blocking the road.
