Found the bezel on ebay $123 for both sides. Having my brother-in-law look at the ad and see what he thinks. But to be honest I didn't think it would be possible to find them new so wasn't looking, then just googled it and found out they are readily available. Even found both sides set up for LED for $235 and might go for that as LED lights might be better way to go. What do you think?

Maybe you can find a deflector shield for the trucks someplace too ?
( You know you want to say "Divert all power to the shields Scotty" ! and I sure couldn't blame ya for doin' it. )

I wish I had took pictures as no one would believe how small a 30 foot motorhome can become when run over by a truck. The whole motorhome was only about 5 or 6 feet tall when all was said and done.

I wonder if your police report or insurance has photos?
I'm not lost. I'm exploring.

That installation does not account for expansion and contraction of the panel, the coroplast, the aluminum and the roof it is mounted to, all of which likely expand and contract at different rates to differing degrees with changes in temperature.

Perhaps it is of no consequence.
Time will tell.

And I just saw this one "from down under". Beautiful beaches they have... This is a good solar panel primer, you just have to ignore the Aussie brand items like DC to DC chargers...
