We mount and install solar panels on the ModCAP Family Alu-Cab, explain why we choose series installation over parallel, discuss the products we’ve selected, and explain why we chose them. We also go over the entire 12V system in the Ford Ranger.

We bought the aluminium lists here, at Vevor:
https://eur.vevor.com/linear-guide-rail-c_10531/vevor-10pcs-78-7-in-2000mm-t-slot-2020-aluminum-extrusion-anodized-linear-rail-p_010564031144
We bought them at Vevor because we could get them in 2-meter pieces there. You can also get them on Amazon, but only up to 80 cm in length. We have used almost 20 meters (including some mistakes where we measured wrong)
We bought the 6 and 8 mm plywood, the speaker cabinet fabric, the 30 mm styrofoam plates, and the click laminate floor in our local hardware stores: Byggmax, Jem & Fix, and Biltema. We bought the dinner table plates for the door in an interior store: Jysk.
I drive and camp with my dog, Simba, in my ModCAP Family Alu-Cab setup on my 2020 Ford Ranger.
