    I mounted mine to my Prinsu. Been wheeling a bunch and never had any problems. Just got some 90 degree aluminum stock from home depot and cut them into two inch pieces. Drilled some holes and bolted it down. The rigid solar panel can be drilled into. Just avoid the glass.

    And ran the wiring in the rear window rubber surround.

    Into the bed.

    Also running a 500W Jackery. It's at 100% when I leave on Friday. I'm usually out til Sunday and when I get home, it's already back at 100%. It runs a fridge, tent lights, and recharges electronics over the weekend.
