I'm with SuperDave, in the realm of a rig and trip like we are planning I can guarantee something unexpected will happen, something will break and the closest parts 4000 miles and two countries away, such is life, you just got to deal with it.
It is amazing how quickly these can go off subject. The decision is the fancy bracket arrangement as it will be basically permanently mounted there. Then probably a Camping World Cover. I may take it off for summer storage as we are planning on leaving the rig in Costa Rica or Panama for the summer next year. Secure storage is easy in Costa Rica and supposedly so in Panama from my source who lives there.
