Super helpful mate, will use this info for my build!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching 🤠✨
Good idea to check with Sika because there is a proper procedure that is recommended using primers and a recommended thickness of material. As a long distance truck driver and traveller I've seen plenty of panels laying on the road. A manslaughter charge is not the go if its incorrectly fitted. Cheers mate love your posts👍
Thanks for watching 🙌
Good job guys. Can never have too much solar!
Very true 👍😂 thanks for watching!

Definitely (: thanks for watching guys!
Well done planning 1st
Thank you 👍👍
Any issues with the solar panel getting to hot? I was wondering about driling holes in the aluminum mounting brackets for more ventilation.
No issues it was fine 👍
Im about to do the same with ours. Has that sikaflex 11fc stood up to the job, i was looking at this compared to the 252 which is more expensive but the 11fc says its good adhesive aswell?
Hi Brad (: yes it’s been great! No issues at all
Hi Nick , just wondering why you didn’t just wire the new panel to the existing panels on the roof, have seen this done before. Cheers Mark.
Hi mark
Thanks for watching. My reasoning for running seperate wire was I didn’t know the rating of the existing wire and/or if it could handle the extra amps going through it. So I was just being on the safe side running new wire. Trust me that option would have been a hell of a lot easier!
Could I ask what you used to fix down the angle. Was it a particular Sikaflex ???
Hey sure it was sikaflex 11FC it’s a sealant and a glue 👍
Hey Nick, thanks for the great info. Just wanting to confirm, was it just Sika holding the angles onto the roof?
Hey Robert yes we used the 11FC product for glue and sealant thanks for watching 👍
@@elnick.adventures how did the panel hold up just being glued mate, no issues ?
Did the silicone hold it? Could you fo a review?
What adhesive did you use (Sikaflex, silicone.etc)?
Sikaflex 11FC 👍
Can I ask where you purchased the solar panel from? Iam looking for either a 300w or 2 150w panels in our van
sorry for the late reply but we purchased it on mygenerator.com online (:
What was the stuff you sprayed on the cable entry housing and angle?
Just soapy water to smooth the sikaflex out. It stops you from getting the glue everywhere and all over you👍 thanks for watching.
Thank goodness my XT12HR already has a good solar system in it.
Must of had good owners 😂 👍
@@elnick.adventures silly people liked sex too much. Had to sell the van.
😁👍🏾
Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Nick the greek :) there was no need to screw the angles into the roof? will the sikaflex hold cheers Bill
Hey bill it didn’t come off sika is pretty impressive stuff!👍🤠
What silicone did you use
Hey
We used sickaflex 11FC it’s is a glue/ sealant and has stood up to the rest of time! Thanks for watching.👍
Jesus mate you were standing so close to the roof edge. Looks a good tidy job.
thanks for watching 🤠
One step backwards and you are dead or paralyzed for life, always advocate safety when doing home projects.
Well said 👍
Did you build that caravan mate out of checkerplate ??? Looks hardy
Haha yeah they put a bit on it John !! Thanks for watching. 👍
