I’m gonna attach solar panels to my RV the same way and I just found both tapes on Amazon. I’m gonna order it now but I was wondering how they hold up to heat because I do live in the southern Nevada
Putting my solar on top of trailer this weekend - using same white corner / side brackets. However, I'm attaching with glue. Glad you reminded me about safety line, will do that, too.
Yes better safe then sorry! Hope it’s turns out well!
@@Jollyprez what type of roof?
@@lawrencewiddis2447 Aluminum. They've been up for a couple years now - and working fine - and haven't detached.
I’d love to know how this is holding up for you. These are no longer stocked on Amazon. I contacted the company & they said they no longer sell these in the US. I know where to find some, but a year in are they good?
thanks dude
That was amazing! Thank you so much for your video. Very well done. I only hope that I can do as good a job as you did 😬 being a woman and all lol.
Thank you for watching! I am sure you will do amazing and if you have any questions feel free to ask!
Hi what’s the name of that tape?
Thank you for the video! Do you have a link for the wind deflector?
Unfortunately I don’t as I just bent some thin aluminum I had kicking around.
@@BCBackwaterssuper good idea!!
The use of tape instead of screws depends on the roof surface.
@@larrywiddis470 Absolutely it does I’ve seen this method used on both fiberglass and aluminum. Also in 36 degrees Celsius but not sure how it would hold up in desert applications.
@@BCBackwaters having a rubber roof precluded my use of an adhesive but should I install again on fiberglass or metal I’d use 3M without worry. In the first days of solar lots of RVers were worried about panels blowing off. I’ve yet to see a panel on the side of the road or viewed an RV missing one.
Got a link for those brackets you used?
Yes I have added a link to the video description!
Found your video while thinking about how to mount a solar panel on top of a trailer. Thanks for sharing these experiences, but would have preferred to see innovations in mounting with adhesive, testing done in a lab, not on the road. Once it fails , some people will die.
I appreciate your opinion and did a lot of research on if it will hold, also applied a metal safety line which was bolted to the awning bracket encase the tape failed the panel wouldn’t fly off.
@@george1984 adequate sealing of screws when installed with yearly roof coating and screws aren’t a problem.
WHERE DID YOU GET THE PLASTIC BRACKETS?
I got these on Amazon I will put a link in the description tomorrow.
Where the next video? We are waiting for it!
It will be on this Friday I was away last Friday. This week will will be quad related but don’t worry trailer videos will be coming over the next few weeks!
Did you make the wind deflector or buy it?
I made it just a thin piece of aluminum we bent
I’d defer to a wind engineer before deflecting passage under the panel. “Logical” thinking isn’t always correct thinking.
What's the real life of that tape on a hot metal roof? In Florida likely toast after a good summer sun and rain.
Where did you buy the wind deflector?
We made it out of a piece of thin aluminum just you tin snips to cut it an bent it over the corner of a table worked out really nicely
Don’t put a air deflector, the panels need air flow underneath
@@danschmidt1I think from the sides and back that there's plenty off air flow buddy ,hmm 😂
Comment before I watch.
Has this held up until now?
I actually sold the trailer earlier this year but yes it held up the entire time even in some pretty bad wind storms. It went with the trailer like the day it was installed no issues or changes.
How long until the panel cracked by bouncing around on that flimsy roof?
I had it up there for two years never had a single issue. Sold the trailer with it still on the roof.
@BCBackwaters no kidding. Those panels must have strong glass
@@brianj9262 driving bounce is far more severe than roof flex and I’ve had no cracking.
@@brianj9262 yes most good panels do. Look for the hail rating.
How are they holding up
I had no issues on the trailer for two years. Once I sold it I never heard anything from the new owner. I’ll be doing this set up on my new trailer
Thanks for getting back so soon
The need for wind deflectors? Allowing the passage of wind under a solar panel is ideal.
Agreed. Wind deflectors on a flat panel that low won't make any difference plus wind going under the panel with help cool it down. It gets really hot under that glass.
That is a flimsy roof.
All cargo trailer roofs are pretty flimsy atleast the ones I’ve seen!
@@BCBackwaters huh did not know that . 👍
Wtf? Wow why didn't I not think of tape. How lazy
