I ended up with some flexible panels from Uni-Solar - but did not want to use on My 85 Airstream --- because the heat from panels would transfer heat into the trailer . Where framed panels would do much better --- giving shade making trailer cooler ;) Just incase - any chance in that you could cut your old panels around the connectors & see what we could do for reuse ? Some of my panels did not come with the plastic cover / wire connectors ? Thanks for the video
@@KD0CAC I cut the cables off the flexible panels before I tossed them. They are just 10awg wire with the solar connectors on them. So you could reuse by splice the cables if you need to. Hope this helps!
Hi Tim, nice to see these updates on your trailer.
Thank you!
Would you think buying more of a quality flexible panel would be better?
Wait. Did the flex panel last 6 yrs? Or did you have the tape up there that long?
I want to go flexible. If they last 8 yrs like your adhesive...I'll stick with flex
@@jake8882 The VHB tape held just fine since 2018.

@@timshephard That is not what I was meaning --- the plastice covers on the panels ?
@ Ah - unfortunately I already tossed them out. So I can’t answer that one.
