Hi Burnsy,

Quick question concerning your solar panels, how long are they? and how far back on the van do they sit? I can see the front edge near the j/box on the photo's, but I can't see the back edge, does the rear bar sit at the rear edge of the panel or is it mounted forward of the rear edge of the panel? and they sit back over the rear section of the roof where that side moulding is, and how have you attached the panels to the bars?

Dave

P.S. Panels I'm looking at are 130W, 1210mm(L) x 808mm(W), width is no problem just concerned about the length.

Hi Dave, the rear bar is the end of panels. I'd either have to measure, get online or find paper work for the length.....I'll see what I can do!
Cheers.

Thanks Burnsy, much appreciated

Finally got around to fixing up the crappy looking fm antenna that had gone brown from the sun, just shrunk some heat shrink tubing over it and pushed a black cap over the end....looks heaps better!

Great idea mate! You are a thinker aren`t ya! I will have to remember that for mine if it goes that way. Do you still use a cover over your van?

 

[Burnsy]

I do have a cover mate but it's a mission to put on where I have my van so it hasn't been covered as much. New Years resolution......use cover!

 

[Burnsy]

Yet another hurdle with the van, 2 1/2 years old and check out our vanity unit....I will email Jayco and let you know what response I get!

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was taken inside a 2015 expanda with the reflection coming from the green bedends

 

[cruza driver]

Wow its been 2.5 years already @Burnsy since meeting up with you when you picked up the mighty 18
Hopefully it gets sorted out quicky for you mate.

 

[chartrock]

Hell, @Burnsy that is yellow. I had ours replaced at a couple of years old and it was no where near as yellow as that. There should be no problem getting that replaced.

 

[17triton]

Geez @Burnsy you've gotta stop smoking on the dunny mate! In all seriousness I hope you get it sorted quickly, that is real bad isn't it.
