So where do you store your portable solar (zamp) kit?
I think it would fit in the front storage but I'm worried about damage from all the other junk in there while traveling.

I have two 100w panels made portable. In a previous gas coach they traveled under the bed. Current DP has room in basement compartment. I kept and use the cardboard boxes they came in as sleeves for protection during transport.

Mine are actually pretty big (Zamp 200 portable). I usually will put it in my truck or laying on the rv bed.

I built a plywood box that two panels slide into. They're not Zamp.
The box is mounted flat just under the roof of my pickup's bed topper, so all our other junk can slide in underneath them.

I store my 80 watt panel behind one of the recliner chairs.

How big is the 200 zamp kit with the case? HxWxD. About how much does it weigh?

From the website:
ZS-US-200-P SPECS: 47 lbs
Open Dimension 54" x 40“ x 1.5”
Closed Dimension 27" x40“ x 3”
200-Watt Power Output
Generates 11.42 amps
25-Year output warranty*
They didn't include the dimensions of the case, so add another inch to each side.
I'm really happy with my set, and their service is great after the sale. I had a problem, Steve handled it and I had new parts in my hand in three days.

Thank you. I saw the specs on the website but wasn't sure if that included the case or not. I was thinking of building a box to store it in, mounted under the trailer, but I think it will be too thick for that hanging down.
I guess I could leave to open & slide it in that way?

These things are made of glass. Under the trailer, unless fully enclosed in a strong enclosure, isn't what I think is a good idea while travelling.
