[QUOTE="condor22, post: 632835, member: 1932"] Food for thought, FYI can't mount anything at the rear as there is an Aircon at the rear. Fwd of that is the 135-150W panel to the driver side the TV antenna and fwd of that the shower hatch. I think my easiest option is a 150-200W panel that will fit inside the van for transport, then deploy on ground when camped. I've looked at some 160-180W folding panels at 15+kg. the same wattage in a flat panel are around the 10kg mark. I can't see 5kg in a couple of legs I can attach with some alum angle. As you mention better oriented to the sun. As my prospecting is mainly in the VIC winter, I stay away from trees so shade is not an issue. I've seen too many gums fall or break. :) [/QUOTE]
