280 watt solar install on Nash TT with video
About a month ago I installed a 280 watt solar panel setup on my Nash 25c and filmed it. The Nash, like all Northwood products, come pre-wired for solar so it was easier then a complete new wire run....

Good work, and very informative videos.
Of course, being nosy as hell, I was trying to figure out where you live! :) Anyway,
Only thing IMO is that some folks have found they wished they could remove a panel to work underneath it, so they wished they had mounted it with brackets so they could leave the bracket in the roof, but just unbolt the panel. You can do that with an extra bracket at each point. (Two Ls instead of one Z idea)
I like the use of the cargo rails. Did the same in a different sort of way back when I had the 130w panel arranged to be on the roof or on the ground. I made a wooden tray so I could shift it about however.
I get no luck with solar at Rathtrevor at all. Maybe 1/2 an amp part of the day so I don't even bother with solar in the provincial parks around here. In the warm half of the year we have had off-grid camping in the open, so the solar has really paid off. Totally different game and also for long term instead of a long weekend.
Can't say about off-grid in the open or part open in the cold half of the year (where is that you can get open off grid in winter?).
