These brackets look good. So let me ask you this, if the panels only have one hole every 12 inches in the aluminum frame portion, would you need to drill out holes so the brackets can be used?

Sounds good. Yeah, I certainly would like to reorder with a few changes(less windows, multiple inches of insulation, etc) but in my current financial/life situation it's just not possible. In the future, definitely. I'm gonna be in shaded state parks for the most part in the next few months so...

The trailer is 100% aluminum. The frame, interior, everything is aluminum. The racks bolt into the sides of the aluminum trim on the roof. The racks are a few inches elevated on top of the roof as well. I attached a photo of someone elses trailer who has the same rack system from the...

I have a 16' cargo trailer to mount these panels to. I have 4 of the roof racks in the photo. They will cover the entirety of the roof basically. I am wondering the most sturdy/safe way to mount these to the panels would be? Z brackets seem like they are made for 100-150w panels. Each long side...

So I have a 16' aluminum cargo trailer conversion. I have roughly 168" to utilize long ways and 81.5" across. I have 4 roof racks that are identical to this photo and bolt into the side of the trailer. I need to mount 4 405w Jinko panels to the roof. I am trying to decide the best method of...

I'm about to order the 10k, the only thing is, these are DEEP units, I'll be sticking out about 18 inches from the rear of the trailer. I'm not sure this is an issue, though. Thoughts? 24.5" depth on this unit, vs my current unit at 13.7". So about 10-11 inches longer in terms of depth.

Can I do this on the aluminum roofing? And will this affect the solar panels ability to generate power or no?

I have a 3.6kw ecoflow system and plan on upgrading to 7.2kw. Panels are going on next month, likely 1200-1400w on the roof. I am debating which AC to get. FYI, 90% of the time I will be on shore power. The small percent of time I am boondocking, will be in good weather. This is really only...

Appreciate the input. They do have the 3.8kw ecoflow delta pro on ebay refurb for $2175. I assume it's still not worth getting and I am better off with a full custom component setup? Do you mind linking me to a good starting point? I am going to look into the polyiso stuff, it is the...

$3k for 6072Wh https://www.bluettipower.com/products/ac300-b300 Might be worth considering this setup. EDIT: nmd, I misinerpreteted, this is only 3Wh. Ecoflow is better.

Also, even my basic 6k btu unit has a "eco" mode. No clue how much better that is, but it's worth noting. It's a manufacturer named Weeroll in FL. Wicked cool trailer, but I can't suggest them because the company is very scammy/shady in their practices. It's a shame because they are super cool...

Yep, one big box. It's not too hard, but the manufacturer added some silicone caulk between the panel seams so I have to get that taken off, hopefully not too much damage done. Maybe a hair dryer will help there?

Not very. Insulation job is not great and it's only 1" thick walls. I could redo all of it to be done better and zero gaps and XPS, but it's really not thick enough imo. I should have ordered thicker walls.

I have a 16' cargo trailer. I would like to run a 6000 BTU window AC on eco mode. Presumably this is gonna be around 500 watts. I was going to buy an Ecoflow Delta Pro + spare battery (7.2kwh) for a total of about $5000. Plus the solar panels. Not cheap.. to say the least. I do not need...

Definitely gonna look into this unit. The frame for the window unit will have to be cut out so given that all of these units have different dimensions, I need to have a good idea of what size I need. Regarding the insulation, my entire interior of my trailer is screwed together. I ordered the...
