All,
I placed my Van's supplied map box on the right hand side of the panel, just to the right of the subpanel attachment. Pretty logical place for it to go...BUT today I discovered to my horror that now my canopy cannot close anymore, because it is obstructed by the map box recess as it comes down.
So after a few %*&#!? I thought it's probably a good idea to forewarn others with a similar configuration to double check their intended placement of the mapbox before cutting the panel.
Not too high and not too far right!
It's very easy to put the canopy away for 'safe keeping' and forget to periodically check that none of the intended panel accessories present a problem with canopy opening and closing....
Keep well,
