The last is my 15W solar panels. I do not recommend this mounting posiition,
you'd be better off with them farther back to lessen the weight of raising and
lowering the poptop.
And here is a view of where I put my FT100 and GPS.

The panels charge an additional 12V deep cycle which resides in the drivers
side end of the area under the rear seat. Next to that are a 35 amp Astron
switcher, with meters, and a 300 watt inverter, which I wonder why I bought.

What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth? Judging from realistic simulations
involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will
be pretty bad.
