Looks great Brian, the loss of tilt will still last a good long time. Keep the pace and take lots of breaks...good enough for government work, right? Keep healin' Heather and see y'all in the next video. 😄

Looks like you're putting a great deal of thought into this project; measure twice, cut once; do it once and do it right. If you carry your attention to detail through the rest of this build, that's going to be one AWESOME van. Looking forward to more build videos and especially the finished product.

Looks like a big project that is starting to come together. Looks factory installed., but better because you tackled the project your selves. Was curious about Heather's foot surgery because I might be facing some surgery myself. 🦶?

She had some bone spurs removed and her joints clearanced. She's still healing 6 months later but it's doing well.

You need a frame within a frame, hinged on each side. Inner frame lifts one way and outer frame lifts the other way.

What happens to those solarpanels in a hail storm or high wind?
@LifeontheBlacktop
@LifeontheBlacktop Год назад
They are bolted to an 8020 roof rack, so they're pretty solid and protected from high winds. The panels themselves have a coated tempered glass on them and are "supposed" to be hail resistant!
