Some projects I work on feel like skiing down a mountainside. You have to adjust to the curves and dips as they come to you. Yet, I still get on the lift thinking that I can somehow imagine all the twists and turns before I even see them. Perhaps that is the grand idea. Envision your goal. And bend to the currents that fight too hard. As a boater and a kayaker, I have found myself in a pickle once or twice. But a level head got me through to the other side without harm every time. Often times, the clearer path only came after some reflection. STOP! Sit. Think. OK, move on. Then, there it is. Your goal achieved. Some take years. Some, a few days. And if you're trying to figure out the map on your phone as you're driving, you better figure if you're supposed to stay on the highway or merge off QUICK! Haha. This roof truss business falls somewhere in-between. Different from many situations in life. Similar though, in a very deep way.

I work as a structural roof designer... the best way to support those solar panels would be to build a supported platform structure on top of the roof from the outside. But that's just my opinion.

I was looking at redoing "My Side" of the garage and was looking at storing options and one thing I saw was using a french cleat system for hanging storage options. Something to think about if it is not to late. Good luck getting your little gray cells moving around up there. Thanks for sharing, I have learned a lot since the little red yak.

Just an observation, maybe you should consider keeping the roof arch for rain drainage. I definitely don't want water pooling. I would shim the 2x4 to maintain the curvature

Hey, Marty. I used to build those trucks if you take aluminum rails. And go up to about 6 inches. Or even 2 inches above that roof you don't even have to go that far. Just as long as they're not, the room's not vibratin up against their solar panels. Then put a rail from those 2 across, and then that way. Cause if you're voting through that plywood, it's gonna hold any of those solar panels that you put up are that that is reinforced fiberglass plywood, but just make sure you seal around your both that go through the plywood and it'll hold anything you put up or you don't need all. Them too, before to add more weight to your trailer. We used to build them a supreme truck body. So I know what I'm talking about. I've done a bunch of them, so just try that and I think you'll find that you'll take. Less weight on your trailer, and you'll be better off

you need a welder Marty. harbor freight has a flux core on sale for mother's day 110v mig for less than $90. it changes you as a builder, things can be much smaller and a lot stronger. i buy steel profiles from a local metal fabrication shop, great prices and service. i 2nd the use of unistrut @ $30.00 a 12' stick in tall and short profile from your local box stores it is convenient, and weldable (mind the coatings fumes while cutting and welding) and a ton of accessories that use the strut. ive used it several times in various ways besides holding something up against the wall. point being, the creative person that you are...given a welder you will have an absolute blast! the things you will make with just a speed square, angle grinder, & welder. it will inspire you to build better and more structural than ever possible. if you go to harbor freight for the welder, grab 2 $10.00 angle grinders, sounds bougggee but its nice to have cut / grind ready to go. and extra spool of wire, its a heartbreaker when it runs out while your in the middle of something.

I never use a composite cut off wheel in my grinder anymore,I have using metal diamond cutting wheel. I started using my old tile metal diamond cut off wheel,and to my amazement it worked quite well,I don’t cut stuff to big but anyhow, the composite cut off wheels kind of scare me, especially in a corded grinder too many RPMs, but using a cordless grinder they’re not too bad, but I still prefer my diamond bite and I use the floppy disk Welll quite often. Also I really enjoy your videos and watching you for a long time.

You could always add 90 degree brackets at the base of the trusses (like truss hangers) to further support them and attach them to the trailer. That might be plenty of strength to add the solar panels on the roof without having to build the cabinets right away. Won't be in the way of the cabinets either.

Research the E Trac brackets. There is a bracket that a 2x4 slides into. Put A couple and plywood and you have mobile shelf. I have seen many temporary setups in tailers like yours.

Uninstruct would work good, coming up from the side and then bolting across the top. And then sitting there panels on top of your unit strut. That would be good and you can get it at home. Depot or loves either one

Check out, mister cool mini splits. You can put the mini outside part of the mini split on the tongue of that trailer and come in and put the mount of the inside part of the many split on the front part of the trailer on the inside and then you can put a hose cover over the hoses that go outside down to them. Outside mini split and you can mount it to the front of that trailer easy. And it will have heat and air conditioning at the same time

Hey Marty for mounting the 2x4 to the metal trus you could have drilled from the top of the metal trus yo the 2x4 so it dosent sag instead if the tin metal plates that in time will give out from the wood to the metal.

If your worried about the bouncing of the trusses I would put a bolt/screw from the outside into the end of the trusses. This will help prevent any movement. I'm sure a 2 or 3 inch metal roofing screw with a washer would do the trick.

Hey Martin, yup we still watching....i have an idea for you, why not try to screw into the 2x4 from the outside through the aluminum bracket.... That will secure that 2x4 to the top for life... Lil silicone it rubber gasket on the heavy duty screen on the outside will seal it....🤘🏼

By the time he reads these comments he is further along than we think. That being said, my thought would be to mount 2x4 up the wall. It would be support for the truss and it would give you a way to mount cabinets to the wall without having to go through the walls with fasteners.

Looks like lots of leaves. Will you relocate the workshop once the solar panels are installed? Also, will you be coating the top with something to keep the eggshell from leaking and to help with the heat?

I would address the leaks through the bolts/screws/sidewalls etc, first. Then I’d consider how strong that roof structure (metal beams/spans) and how much weight it could hold. I’d want to turn that plastic or whatever material the thin stuff is that allows some of the light through into a better, solid and leak “proof” structure that is also capable of handling the physics when it’s towed., and hold some weight for storage etc..

You could use that license plate to cut strapping that would be bent in a U shape and attached with metal screws onto the ribs of the roof , maybe 3 or 4 straps should do, just a suggestion. Larry

If you build those solar panels on top of your rig I'm sure you know that you aren't going to be able to put your trailer in the shade anymore if you want to produce any type of real solar input. Just a small shadow across the panel will all but kill your input down to nothing. (Just trying to help, not criticize)
