Attaching Solar Trickle Charge to RV Cover
I want to keep my trailer covered in storage AND I want to keep my batteries charged without having to lug them to and from storage. Wondering what methods, if any, folks have used to attach solar pan...

The magic answer....
Hook and Loop fabric swatches
Glued to the cover with
GOOP adhesive
2" squares patterned every 4" will allow the Velcro to grip the panel tight enough for 50 mph wind yet not become a nightmare when removing the panel from the cover.
Same for cable tie mounting pads. 1/2" square swatches are enough to hold 1-1/2" cable tie pads. Black or white Velcro won't interfere with rolling up the cover and they look pretty good.
You need to use solar panel WIRE to prevent the sun's UV rays from toasting the wire insulation. WEATHER PACK terminals to make a bulletproof sealed disconnect at the panel if you wish.
