How to Solar Power your Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

Here is a video about installing a basic electrical system in the Alu-Cab Canopy Camper. I install a 150 watt solar panel, a 700 watt hour battery, and clean up the wiring. For personal reasons, I had the goal of creating a system completely independent of the truck's battery system so I also rewired the camper's high brake light to not use the common negative of the camper's system (many thanks to my friend who reviewed the wiring plan for me). In addition to the parts listed below, I also used a variety of marine grade electrical terminations, shrink wrap, and bolts with 1/4" heads to secure the panel to the roof bars. For roof bars, I did use the alu-cab load bars, but I may switch over to 80/20 extrusion to save some weight.
