Hi Bill, Thanks for responding, Currently there is a dealer mounted 165watt Grape Solar controller mounted in between the ac recp./cable plate and the water heater switch. I want to upgrade the 165w controller to a 300w version, so that when I camp under trees I can add supplemental solar panels on an extended cord in the sun.
If I can remove the applied panel without damaging it, from the cabinets face frame I'll swap them out, add some drop down hinges and use rare earth magnets to hold the panel closed when not servicing the control devices from behind. Thanks for the magnet idea. I'll also include photo's of the work... Thanks again... Bob ...
