In our quest to be self sufficient, We have added 3 solar shed lights. Available at Bunnings for $13 each. I have put them more or less where the roof lights are. They have turned out to be fantastic.
I made up some brackets with some 'U' channel, and riveted 'L' bracket to the side.
As the hole in the roof needed to be about 13mm in diameter, I sealed the wire in with silicone instead of using a grommet.
I spent quite a bit of time making sure the unit was totally sealed.
The two lights toward the front of the van, I put both solar panels in the one bracket.
Looking at the photo, top, the vent needs another paint.
Actually the van could do with a fresh coat. But I'll use automotive paint this time...Well when we can afford it. It seems to be the old Murphy's Law again. I'm out of work at the present time, so I have a heap of time to do all the things that need doing on the van, But, have no additional funds to do anything!
