Camper VAN upgrade PLAYLIST 👉kzread.info/head/PLpuRGa_w9p3lULPavR2Dc8H03rS2zawRe

Hi there, great video. I'm about to out a 300w solar panel on the roof of a t4. Where did you the cross bars, would be a better job than drilling but with the larger panel it will need to be a lot more secure with the wind catching it. Cheers

Thank you for the video I’ve got the t5 barn door I’m going to do the same

Very informative video mate. Your editing and graphics are top notch too so I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers!!

Hi, tek screws will do the job, but if u want to be 100% sure u can drill hole 🕳️ through crossbars and use bolts and nuts. But as I said I’ve used tek screws with no issues!!! Something like that: www.screwfix.ie/p/easydrive-flange-self-drilling-stitching-screws-with-washers-6-3mm-x-25mm-100-pack/4259h Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for sharing. I think I will follow your advice to attach it to the crossbars. The only question I have is about the tek screws in the crossbars that are holding the solar panel weight. Are they safe enough?

Hi 👋 , 2 tek screws per bracket are more then enough IMO … it’s been nearly a year now since I’ve done it like that they holding the solar panel very well..it’s rock solid 👍 but if you have doubts perhaps you can drill trough cross bars and use bolts and nuts 🔩to fasten you solar panel .. but I personally think it’s an overkill . Hope it helps and thanks for watching 👍

Nice install! Is no drilling possible with the tailgate version?
