Solar panels on pop top, any clues?
(Preview)
I'm told panels are a lot lighter than they used to be. Read the other posts here about solar. I want to trickle feed the existing battery in my pop-top when I'm off power. Van is very new (delivered 29/5). Should I let a dealer do it, forget it (too many risks...leaks, fitting etc), or consider it a possi...

van underside protection, necessary?
(Preview)
Before finally signing off on our new Lotus van we have been recommended to protect the underside of the van with a product called Vantec. Would this be something we should do? Or is it not really necessary? Has anyone used this or a similar product?
