Here it is the day I picked it up from
@reevesci aka Trail Tailor on the way back from California.
A couple of things to learn from:
1) slide out solar panels rattle. Annoyingly so. Even with spring latches. A little electrical tape around the latch solved this.
2) use slides that are all metal or bolt them instead of welding them to the frame. You cannot powder coat with plastic/rubber inside the slides.
3) I ended up removing my slide and am rebuilding it to accommodate a bigger, 160w panel.
4) you have to figure out a way to have enough slack in your wiring in order to do so. The way I am going to do this is have all MC4 connections. I will have the wiring fit properly with it retracted then be able to quickly disconnect that and insert a leader made to the length needed when extended for when I get to camp. I will likely leave the leader in place as I move from place to place but then remove for highway speeds.
Let me know if you have any questions.
