That's sorta what I was thinking.

I think that I will make a cardboard mock-up of the panels and try that. I just have to wait until I'm getting around a little better.

The other thing that I was thinking was to make a couple of brackets that hook the edge of the roof (kinda like the brackets that some people hook over a bathroom door). Store the panels on the bed while closed then when we open the upper shell, pull the panels our and hook them on the forward part of the rear shell, then open the shell.

My concern is that I'd like to make them as theft proof as possible. Out-of-site, out-of-mind tends to work well for that.
