Sunshine annual figure here is nearer 3000 hrs. :eusa-whistle:
Never have a problem with motors, as long as air cond. :thumbup:
August and thereabouts can be toasty (40C-ish), and from spring to autumn, usually March to November, I start the car ten minutes before use if it has been sitting in the sun.
Temp of our car park surface is 50C or more during those months and my IR thermometer registered about 70C inside a car. :roll:
Many plastics cannot cope with the UV level, and become brittle, and some red pigments bleach. :thumbdown:
Stewartwillsher, you are an ideal Lanmodo buyer.
Not quite sure this is the gizmo for me. :eusa-think:
For starters, three vehicles to "cover", one of which has a canvas (modern equivalent) foldback roof, so that is not able to have this stuck on it. :thumbdown:
Then, there is the portability.
I assume you can't belt down the autovia (motorway) with it on the roof, albeit folded, so it will only be used back at base, so to speak.
If it folds up quite small, which I doubt, it could be carried and deployed anywhere.
Then there are the reviews, which praise the concept but are less enthusiastic about quality and use.
If only usable at base camp then it will sit there on two of the three motors achieving nothing until needed, and a ten minute air cond before use is the way at the moment.
Bird sh1t, tree sap and weather are no big deal with a hose or pressure washer. :roll:
Sorry, cannot cost justify an interesting but unnecessary accessory. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:
