I did that   there is room for my Westy bag full   it has a hinged frame so it  tips open towards the front  have a short power cable run it  so it is always charging  

the solar panel also slides out of the frame so when we are parked in the shade can place it in the sun

Put another utility box  like for the water and ac power on the out side behind the driver’s door  to plug in a 25 ft cable to run to the solar panel in the sun 

With that being said  have not actually used it  my van has been the body shop now for 7 months  having all the little dents and a couple of small rust spots removed 

an a total new paint job 

My mistake was to pay a friend who owns the body shop in advance  he was having some $  trouble  so now my job keeps slipping to the back of the line 

the body work in 90 % done  still needs painting  

Hoping to get him on it  soon  

my big mistake   missed the winter camping and wild flower season  we never to out until school is in session and most folks are home
