I've decided to outfit my 88 Westy with a solar panel for my sojourns into the Desert! Here's my idea: I want to get a rigid panel (the flexible ones just aren't that efficient) that fits up in that space behind the folded bed on top. When I'm camped, I would pop the top, take it out and place it in a good spot for ol Sol and have a through-lid plug of some sort, with the wiring running down to my aux. deepcycle battery that's hangin under the rear seat. Has anyone tried this, or some version of it? Any panel reccs? Thx B. Simon |
