Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Nice electrical center Rastaman, +12v on the left, 120v on the right?
I bought KoolSeal silver at the local walmart, maybe Walmart.com?
I said the same thing about the curtains in the Pompadour, not my department. Arrangements were made, colors discussed. Time passed and other aspects of the rebuild progressed. Still no curtains. I asked nicely but they never materialized. One day at a state park in Delaware, I found myself butchering an old bed sheet on a picnic table then sewing it with sail repair twine. Shameful.
May the Armadillo get the curtains it deserves.
As for solar, I am all for the modular setup you suggest. It is handy to move them as needed or detatch them entirely for use on other 'jobs' or servicing. My suggestion would be to construct a minimalist frame for each or both panel(s) from aluminium stock(angle, c channel or square/rect tubing). Welding thin aluminium is not worth the trouble but olympic and/or buck rivets would fasten this stock nicely. Then find a way to attach this assembly to the truck or camper. Do you have enough room for these panels + frames to go under the wings? This would be a much more sheltered location but would require two frames. Do the panels have any type frames already?
Definitely been out enjoying some weekends of TC living. So much for only using it to winter boondock in the desert. At 19.2mpg, why not?
Tip: I think the rough appearance of my truck keeps the gas station press conferences short and sweet.
