Please can you tell me where you routed the cables for your solar pannels on your Apollo please as I am considering fitting one in the future.

Thanks

Steve

Can I suggest wherever you route them, you plonk the panels as far forward as possible
not sure which you were thinking of buying but they can be a little weighty
(great though they are)


if its relevant however my cables pass back along N/s roof edge and come in through rear wall as I didn't want to drill a hole in the roof, I think I remember Rich chose the roof but with a proper plastic box but he'll be along direstly

I ended up having a roof rack fitted encase I wanted to fit a solar panel without drilling holes as it would fit on the ✖ bars which also means I wouldn't have one go missing in high winds ;)

The only hole I should need is for the cable unless plan b comes into play.

left hand one is an iveco 40-10wm, plated at 4450kg , runs on expensive michelin tyres or cheaper chinese copies

the other one looks like a man kat (they always look so sad.... or am I anthropomorphizing trucks too much)

I used one of these bedded on Sikaflex to bring my solar panel cables through the roof - it hasn't leaked in 4 years.

I used the double version as my panel has 2 thick cables running off it
