Getting there AB - and unfortunately, no. Seeing those pics have actually made me excited.

Gotta pay a couple of bills before I start modding any more.

Kelvin's given me a great starting point.

I don't know if it's best to put them facing front to back or side to side ( I nearly said horizontal or vertical. lol). Might be able to make use of the gutters.

The people at BP solar still haven't got back to me. I wonder if they have a standard type of securing arrangement for their panels? I'm a bit cheezed coz it was well over a week ago. I'll have to chase it up.

This might sound a real dumb@r$E question, but if I face my truck north/south and the panels face east west, will it be more beneficial., or do I face my truck east west?

'They (?) recommend when you buy a house, it faces north/south and the sun obviously goes east/west.

you can park it where the sun shines best,lol

Will do.

I was in Perth last week and drove past Mandurah twice! Doh.

Oh well next time.

Roofy's right, a gap under the panels will keep them cooler & as a consequence will make them more effective - output is reduced by heat.
Also make sure when you mount them that you have them at a bit of an angle, not dead flat. Helps rain run off & stops it pooling in the middle of the panel.

Thanks for the weight info.
I think those mirror extensions are 'stock', & reckon one of mine is missing.
My rear vision cameras arrived today - 4 days from China - pretty fast I thought - feel like a quality item.

Sorry Rossco, highjacking this for a wee bit...lol...Let us know how you go with the cameras Cuppa, would be interested to see how they work, picture quality, etc....
