Are those panels screwed to the roof? Or attached some other way?

Are those flip flops screwed to the roof? :Wow1:

I wouldn't think so. I believe you should use 3M 5200 for flip flops.

Or sikaflex or flipasex- whatever they call it

The rear ones are screwed down. The forward one has a sticky back. I recently installed panels on two different vehicles using the high quality 3m sticky tape. With good prep I think it's the way to go.

Thanks Tom, looks like they are holding up, I am trying to avoid drilling into my roof, I looked into the 3m stuff, but don't think it will work on my rubber roof, still researching, but will probably have to drill.

Both solar instillations I did were to smooth surface fiberglass. Yep, I'd worry about sticking to a rubber or rough roof.

Good to have you back, Tom. Thanks for the writeup. Always nice to get to see your work.

 

[Mattersnots]

Thanks Mike. By the way, I sent a message to Jeremy about you guys coming over here for a visit. As you guys suggested it would be nice to compare vehicles. And trade stories for a few hours. PM me if you still want to get together.

How to fit a shower in a 6 foot box camper.

Thinking about repainting. How about these paint schemes?

​

No, I'm not really going to use either of these. Kind of cool though huh. Check the link if you want to see the others. Think I might just do a poll on the forum too and see what you guys think.
