Question How are you attaching it?

That way if one went bad I could easily replace it with no hassle. The frames however are secured with 3M VHB double sided tape. It's some strong medicine and they aint a comin up! I got this information about the tape from Will Unrah service manager at The Car Show. He told me that's what they use to put down solar panels on their TMs.
hope this helps

Tom, I plan on using the VHB tape as many have done here with the "Z" brackets. Since the panel is close to 40 lbs I'm going to use 8 brackets to hold it down. Should fill the back shell nicely.

Pics from our first "real" outing. Rock Creek Lake. Installed a digital thermostat right before the trip and made using the heater much easier for the wifey.

Nice unit, but Brad, please reduce the size of the images. 8+ MB is too large for waiting for them to download. 8"x10" at 96 dpi gives plenty of detail for our purposes. It took over a minute for the first pic to download so I could see the file size.

Thanks

Sorry about that, just got so excited to post the pics I didn't take the time to re-size. Hopefully these are a little bit more manageable. From our trip to Sequoia NP this past weekend.

Finally got my 250W solar panel installed and it worked great. You can't see it in the photos, but I'll add some pics to my Solar Install FAQ post as soon as I have time.

Ken, I specified the QB as I knew the newer models were using that designation. Ours technically is just the 2720 since it has the two beds.

Congrats on your new to you TM!! We love ours......pretty darned 'new to us' too. Your dealership sounds wonderful - the Camping World where we bought ours knew nothing about these.......struggled to open and close it, gave us no help......and did nothing to improve it. Sounds like you got a great TM!!
