Hello Whilst our van is in storage - in a shed at U Store It - what do I need to do to ensure the battery is protected - I.e. the charge cannot be maintained by the solar panel. Do I need to disconnect the battery for example? Thanks Terry

New Trailblazer owner. I notice that rear springs are quite soft and any weight on back means I whack my head on the tailgate when it's up (normally just miss). So what mods have you made (if any) and how successful have they been? Thanks in advance.
