Re: [A/S] restoration
I think it is bigtime ugly to see flat panels on top of a vintage rig. I
am planning on installing four of the Uni-solar flexible mats.

I will fasten them to the hull with rivets. They should hardly be
noticeable. I expect to give up some efficiency, ergo 4 - 32 watt
panels. In my case the batts will go under the streetside couch. That's
the shortest distance from the panels and also has ample room for three or
four batts.
I plan to keep my existing Univolt charger and battery separate.
I'm sure you will hear from others on their areas of specialty.
I also recommend that you parse out your issues into bite size pieces or
otherwise people sometimes get overwhelmed and just don't respond :)
I'm sure you will have a great vintage rig.
