I forgot to mention the batteries will go on the bottom back of the trailer and supplies in front of them and lighter objects at the very front. I will limit the weight to 40lbs gear including the panels weight.
The trailer weighs 13 lbs on its own for about a 50 lb tow load. The trailer is rated to carry 70 lbs.

Also the trailer is made of welded 4130 Chromoly tube with gussets welded in.

So Im making the rack durable for a good match , the flat version was going to use Chromoly tube...


I just thought about it now but will use them at home when not doing distance on the ebike
It makes fiscal sense ..

The below reflector method works to boost panel output. So will lay out some Tyvek at base of the panels when at the home as well bike trips.
