    [SOLD] Autohome Columbus Variant w/ 100-watt Solar Panel

    I got a DM asking how I installed my solar panel with VHB, but since you can't upload photos in DMs, I'm posting it here. Top left: First I test fit the 100-watt flexible Renogy solar panel on top of the Autohome Columbus rooftop tent. Not pictured: I added blue painters tape at the corners to...

    [SOLD] Autohome Columbus Variant w/ 100-watt Solar Panel

    For anyone else who might be reading or interested, I figure I should expound upon my comment to Dylan above that my Autohome Columbus RTT is "sort of" for sale. I was hoping to find a new home for it last fall (Sept/Oct 2020) after returning home from supporting my Dad on the Continental Divide...

    Continental Divide Trail Overland (sort of...)

    In June I asked my 71-year-old father if he had been planning to hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) this year if not for the pandemic.

    [SOLD] Autohome Columbus Variant w/ 100-watt Solar Panel

    grampswrx, hope these are what you were looking for. I took the mattress out of the inside so I could vacuum it out, but it's also in "like new" condition, always used with a sheet.

    [SOLD] Autohome Columbus Variant w/ 100-watt Solar Panel

    grampswrx, I can try to get some closeup shots tomorrow. The condition is "like new", as I only used it for about 70 days.

    Ha, for both our sake, I'd prefer to count and verify 30 bills, as oppose to 150.
