Stuffs starting to show up.

so last week I got my tiles from amazone for putting under the mattress.   I was originaly looking at the froli system, but at 600 bucks I'll pass.  this is what I ended up getting, they are a flexible pvc grid with feet to allow airflow under the mattress.  I also used some left over peices to line my outside storage floor.  

 

then the solar stuff astarted showing up.  after much debate and going back and forth (with myself of course) I ended up going with the blue boxes. not because I like them better than renogy, the renogy setup I was going to go with would have been cheeper and offered more features.  but in the end physical size wone out.  the victorn 150/45 will just be enough to handle my panels, but with renogy the 40amp rover is to small, so jumping up to the 60 amp version is a huge size increase.  they do make a renogy lt wich is only a little bit bigger than the victron but it lacks some features and the compatability with the renogy 1 system I was going to go with.  so here are my blue boxes

I also revived a bunch of other stuff, mounts wires and breakers and a new pressure regulator

and finaly my panels came last week but I didnt get a chance to open them and test them untill two days ago.  they all tested fine but one of them has a bent rale that happened during shipping.  so after 2 days of back and forth with the company they are shipping me out a replacment.  here is the rail on the panel, looks more like a hocky stick than a frame.  I am actualy surprised how flexible the actual solar panel is.  didn't crack still puts out full power.  I may try fixing the rail and donate it to one of a few people I know that are wanting to put solar on their rv's, as the company doesnt want it back.  

I did get roof structure drawings from adventurer but what they show me is I will be able to get two of the mounts into structure, maybe a third  but the other side will just be into the rood deck.
