Abel LMTV build part 190 (Solar awning day 1)

This is an idea I have had for awhile and now that I have a set of matching panels I can get this project started...

Always nice to see you doing your Abel projects you get a plan and get it done very talented man I don't know your profession but this may have been it .

My true passion is this giant truck that provides us with some of the most awesome memories and fun...

Hey Sean if you add a bracket a triangular bracket that stands off from where the struts meet the solar frame that will give you the additional length that is needed and if you make those brackets long enough so that when it is fully folded they almost touch the rear of your habitat it will have the added benefit of once you get close to being closed it will then push it closed the rest of the way so it will be like a kick over point. You can then mount the struts a little bit lower on the habitat probably if you do that

[@SeanFillner]

Stay tuned... I figured it out... I think we are on the same page...

I got excited for a minute I thought were making a Filner / Archimedes death ray 🤔 Sean use the Force we are all counting on you 😅

[@SeanFillner]

I wish I could build something like that. I will stick to sun>electricity transference....

Uni strut is amazing stuff. What did you use as the hinges? Didn’t catch that detail in the video. Very cool.

[@SeanFillner]

Unistrut hinges. Love the stuff!
