Hi all. I would like to mount my portable solar panel on a pole on the drawbar of my van. only for when stationary.
It should be so it can be turned to follow the sun.
Has anybody seen something like that somewhere or have photos
of one?
Thanks
Jorgen

Using a large diameter piece of exhaust tube with a long slot in one side, ie, drill a hole and use thin cutoff wheel to make a long slot in the tube.
That will then slide over the jockey wheel tube outer diameter and also past the handle.
The top can be a smaller dia of exhaust tube with an appropriate fitting to take the solar panel frame.
No additional brackets or fitting would be required to add to the van.
