Thanks for the responses.
When I first mounted my panels I kept going back and forth between tiltable or flat and fixed. I settled on flat and fixed since we don't winter camp. But now having dealt with a couple winters and the occasional need to plug in while parked despite having solar has me considering changing the configuration to tiltable. Sounds like a need to protect the panels from weather might be another reason to tilt them.
What are some folk's favorite easy methods to change over to tiltable? Currently they are mounted with 6 Z-brackets each. My thought is I just need the ability to tilt in one direction since I only plan on tilting for winter storage. And since it is for winter storage only I just need one tilt position. 45 degree tilt?
