Like I said earlier any trailer will do, just make sure its strong. I bolted the plywood on good by drilling holes in the steel frame. Then I used some old book shelf brackets to hold the vertical plywood up. That's where I'm going to mount the electrical components. The solar module is mounted with really nice solar industry specific parts from ProSolar but you can use stuff in your garage or hardware store. I did a quick search and found some random PDF with pictures of steel strut and hardware see chapter 15

The Battery is held on with an old nylon strap buckle. I think a bungy cord will do.
