Steph and Dud B Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It's pretty obvious from the photo. You're at the wrong angle to the sun.

AND - it appears from the photo that you are parked right under a tree! Therefore, it is not only the wrong sun angle but all the shade you are getting from that tree. It is obvious that if you wish to continue parking your Ollie in such a location that you will need multiple external solar panels that you can move several times a day in order to get the angle correct AND avoid all that shade! 😁 1 3 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008RN Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I like that. After living in CO for 48 years, I have shoveled tons of snow in bright sunshine, and several times in shorts and snow boots. In Oregon we usually get only get 1-3 days of snow a year, and 240+ days of gray skies. I kind of forget what the sun looks like or where it is at. So, I don't have to worry at what angle the sun is to the trailer.

I stopped the guy who was skijoring down the street behind a Subaru and he agrees with your assessment. 1 2 2021 Elite II, Hull# 898 2018 Toyota Tundra, 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9l SRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
