I removed the air conditioner (never used it) and put a powered max-fan in its place. Now I have far better air circulation through the camper. Saving about 75lbs is just a bonus.

Removed my 2 Kyocera solar panels in preparation of having a Polar Cub Mach 8 installed. The Adventurer is a 7' wide camper and with the 2 Kyocera panels on either side there was no room for a conventional roof mount AC. Fortunately, before I cut a hole in the wall and attempted to mount a window mount unit in a cabinet someone here posted a link to the Renogy 100W panels which are 5" narrower giving me plenty of room for both solar and AC. In fact the Renogy panels are just the right size to fit on either side of my Heki hatch on the cabover, so I'll have 400W with 4 panels when finished.

Used 2" reflector tape and a sharpie to put centering marks on my TC to allow the 80-120 degree green laser line I just installed in the center of the back window of the truck to show up better on bright days. The laser line hits three points (just under the bottom curve of the cabover, above the TC pass-thru window, and bottom forward edge) on the TC creating a simulated plane to make it possible to do one-shot loading. Got this idea from some dude's how-to Youtube video.
