    First step ... cover the solar panels with cardboard so they don't charge during installation.
    Attaching the solar panel to boards that will be liquid-nailed to the Cruiser's roof.The panels are placed on the roof following Mui's schematic ... ready to begin the installation.Now to bring the cables into the rig and down to the batteries using the microwave went.Let's switch out the batteries from wet to dry sealed.1Wouldn't do to mis-connect the cables, would it? 😉Best to label them before switching out batteries.New batteries in place ... cables, including those from the solar panels connected properly.1Next up ... installing the solar charge controller just inside the entry door.3Job well done, Mui! The extra cable up front is for his next project!

    When we were living in the Phaeton — our condo on wheels — during our full-timing years, two of the early upgrades we did were to add solar panels and switch-out our house batteries from wet to sealed (AGM). Both served us well during those seven years.

    It goes without saying that Mui wanted to do the same upgrades for the Phoenix Cruiser. This time, however, he did the installation himself. The work was completed late last week. So far so good.

    We’re heading out tomorrow to dry camp for a few days and test the systems fully. 🤞🏻
