John- Great idea on the mobile shop. I am not so sure I could begin a nomadic lifestyle, but it seems to be working out well for you. Good luck on your adventure!

Great to see another video from you. Can't wait to see where you land for the next chapter on this adventure. Wish you the best man. Thanks for the update.

Lovely setup! Greetings from Jamaica.

Greetings and thank you. Jamaica is awesome I've been there several times.

Nice trailer, thanks for sharing 👍

Cool ideas!

It's a very cool set up. If it was me which it's not.I would add more solar panels. That's probably the cheapest upgrade. It looks like you have the room. And it would give you more wattage coming in on bad days.

Absolutely its easy to upgrade if needed. I'm not sure how much I'll use so I started here with upgrades available if needed

Perfect! I’m in the process of doing the same thing. Can you show how you attached your panels to the roof?

The panels came with L brackets I used 1/4 20 ss 1" bolts with fender wasters and nylock nuts and bolted them through the roof. I'll gladly make a video but will be a bit before I get it out. Hope this helps in the mean time.

Bad ass trailer!

You're living my dream buddy, a mobile shop. where did you get your trailer and how much did you pay for the trailer?

Nice solar setup. Just FYI your amps calculation for running your compressor is wrong but it doesn't really matter. Killer setup and want to see the finish product.

I'm definitely still learning lol

I want to be able to make a compact solar charging system for remote 5 day fishing trips by boat. I know absolutely nothing about it but want to put it together

Check out my power box videos in my diy playlist. Regular and solar ones in thete as well

How much would the solar system cost (I’m a painter and would love to run my paint sprayer and battery’s, lights)

Cool, little video. I am looking to build out a kayak, camping, fishing trailer, and am thinking running a solar setup, backup with shore power, 12v system as I don't need more than that. Was thinking in the neighborhood of 600 - 800 watts, but after second thought, I really do not have a need for that much, and need it to be portable (detachable) etc., 400 w would be about right for what little power I would actually need. Cool setup, any tips for install? Thanks. Good luck with the move.

All the stuff I used I linked in the video description if you want to check that out. As far as tips definitely plan out the location of everything and think over any design changes/possibilities. Once you cut holes it's set in stone.

what you just described is exactly what i am trying to do , however I know nothing about installing Solar, and only minor electric work my field of expertise in Plumbing and carpentry I'm a kayak fisherman myself headed to Florida , How would i go about finding someone to help me install solar in my 7x16 trailer i plan to to the rest of the build myself

Would those panels stand up to hail during the summer? I live in Arkansas and there’s usually bad weather frequently.

The inverter wires look a little undersized, would hate for you to have an issue.
