I too had considered doing that but maybe with a flexible panel
mounted on an aluminum
sheet. Design front hinge to double as a hook so panel could
hang from rain gutter? Install magnets at panel backside so it could
be positioned on body?
(while in camp of course)
If hinges doubled as hooks, panel would have to be bungeed at luggage
rack I'd think.
