Mounted a flexible solar panel on the hood.
Had a problem once we put the roof top tent on our Cruiser. Wouldn't fit in the garage anymore. The Cruiser isn't my daily driver and there are times where I wouldn't drive it for a week or two. Before, when I could park in the garage I left it hooked up to a trickle charger to keep the second battery topped up.
Now that I park on the street that isn't a possibility.
So..... came up with this solution (actually copied the idea from a guy on a FJ forum). Flexible 65W solar panel mounted to the hood. Connected it up to a BatteryMINDer. The batteryminder is a solar charger, maintainer, and desulfator all in once package.
This isn't meant to charge the battery at camp, just keep it maintained.
