Marty! You are such a calm man! Also very talented !

What a shame you did all that work and now none of the water will drain out of that boat the first time you use it it will weigh 5,000 lb. What a waste of work

Hey Marty! Hope all is well! I get a big smile every time I see one of your shirts. Hope they are holding up well! 🍻

I'm a heavy metal drummer and that percussionist still kicks ass.

Nice to see the progress.It's coming together nicely, good luck. John

Hey Marty, in Ohio, we called those creepy crawlers bait!

Hey! Cool idea! What tool do you use to cut the crate?

Should of bought a RV if rain bothers you

Measure off the truck somewhere.

Seems practical

Nice bit of progress Marty. Surprised you didn't think of lying a couple of 1ft wide lengths of plywood down the middle of the roof so that you could get up there to do the inner bolt holes? You aren't very heavy, and the roof rails plus the timber would have supported your weight. Keep 'em coming - stay safe & well. 👍👍

Hello Marty! 👋 hope all is well! So far this project is coming along nicely. I have a question regarding installing your solar panels-instead of just using brackets why not install plywood or similar, onto the roof and mount the panels on the plywood panels? It would stiffen up the roof and give you a mountable surface to mount all the panels and wiring etc you need up top?

Hey Marty have you talked to Mike Steen at all since you guys split up?

Let em cook

I'm more partial to using uni-strut for mounting solar. You can use two runners down the edges of the truck and then you can remove panels on and off without having to ever punch a new hole into the roof.

Long lake…love that area

Bullsh..

We are the same age!!! ha ha 1973 represent!

Sweet

Be safe with all the rain Fl is getting

Marty I know this is from "the past" but if you ever need to do anything of the sort in the future here are few pointers: #1 With a see through roof like that... night time... turn light on inside the trailer... it will shine where beams are and you just mark them on both side of the beam. #2 magnet. Even on aluminum trusses there are still bits and bobs that are magnetic. Having mounted solar on all of my trailers... that is my go to. I take a magnet and BAM. It allows me to locate even over TPO/UPDM and luane roofs in RVs. #3 good old chalk string. Upon marking and drilling outer holes, you just bzing the darn thing and it will allow you to mark entire truss across the roof.

👍👍👍👍👍 I was gonna make a couple of comments, but you said you took those solar panels off of your boat so my second comment flew out the window because I was gonna suggest that you get you should’ve gotten the flat panels that stick to your roof, but doesn’t matter now my first comment was you know you can walk on those roof, they are designed to walk on a retired truck driver of 35 years and I’ve been in a lot of trailer shops with those roofs and the guys walk all over them so just for future knowledge you can walk on your roof of that.

man it's all coming together very nicely Marty,cant wait to see the finished work shop!

probably too late now, but something I have always considered in mobile solar mounting, is to use U-channel starting the mount system using the U-Channel as a roof rack like you see on many vehicles. Kinda like this: ruclips.net/video/UY98-WQ0VTw/видео.htmlsi=dU-OFyEFOtNNzG1R

Make your short piece up on the side. Come through bolt it to the sidewall. Stick it up above of unistrut hook. Another piece of unistrut to it going all the way across there you go, you got it. My, can you do that all the way down? You can put as much stuff up there as you want, and you can even put. Walkways, or anything else you want? You can make a little deck up there if you want unistrut would hold everything

Please make sure you secure that trailer. I would hate for you to do all of that work only to have someone attach it to a truck and drive it away.

Morning, you can take on the front of there. Put one of those little mini solar. Many splits on the front. And let me tell you. It'll keep you warm in the winter and coal in the summer. Ann. I know person that put one on a tiny house. It was 24 / 8, and it keeps that whole thing. Nice and cool

Dude! Threadlock!

🖐😎👍

No lock washers on those attachment feet?

Why would you not drill from the top down once the brackets are on the solar panel for the inside ones like you did for the ones along the edge?

encore une job de cochon!

I would rather cover the roof with solder panels to block out the heat from the sun you just use bright LED lights. Me I would rather stay cooler

I know I've asked this before but, whose property are you on?

Hi Marty. Nice DIY work. After watching this video I went back to when you installed your solar on your boat. It was nice to see I had given you a thumbs up on the boat install. I couldn't remember when you had done the work on the boat. I do enjoy your videos and your DIY is inspiring to me.

This is an exciting "everyman's" type project that will probably take you to 400k subscribers . You are a "Project" type RUclips content creator accompanied with verboseness and dog friends . Being Alcoholic is a negative , especially nowadays with addictions ruining people's lives . Everyone knows some abandoned person living in mom's basement or in a distant street tent isolation . Showing off Gay beer is a smallish downside to most of your creations , it detracts, it's a negative disappointment that our wonderful hero needs Bud to fuel his greatness. I'm delighted that you're back and look'n good !! Tony in Sarasota

My projects always evolve

From working and a house, to a boat and pier, to a travel trailer in someone's yard, what's next, a tent under a bridge. Come on Marty lets buck up. I know your young but time is short and you need to build that foundation now for your future.

You didn't want to put any of that rv sealer stuff on the ceiling first before putting the solar panels on? It would help seal any holes and good for heat reflection. Its a Henry brand tropi-cool white roof coating-high solids 100% silicone Lifetime warranty # on the 1 gallon can is 887HS

...AIRBORNE...👍💯

Is it bad when you can see the fibers of the fiberglass?

Chipmunks helping with the solar panel drawing? ;-) 😊

Very interesting Marty, 2 solar panels should arrive today, not sure if they are going on the house, or on the electrified pedal boat that I made, sorta similar to one that you made back in the day. I made that boat before I saw your video, but that project is what led me to your channel & I've followed your journeys ever since. Friend has a pod-like work trailer I might buy from him to try to make a 4 season survival pod, might put them on that as well. Electricity is vastly too costly here in NH. Hoping you go into some of the details of working with solar systems.

been watching off and on since the red kayak. Cheers!

Now you have to pay registration fees 😂

Thank you for making this. Now we know 😂

I just got one of these and this video saved my ass! Thanks zoffinger

Trim tabs to keep the bow up. Nice job
