Hello all,

We have a M1079A1 LMTV rigged for overlanding. We’ve used it mostly in the desert Southwest on BLM land for exploring and boondocking. Thought we could do likewise in National Forests of the Southeast. Worried about low limbs whacking our solar panels. Looks like most Forest Service camping may be at designated campsites instead of dispersed? Any suggestions for backwoods camping?

As a rule, solar panel glass is pretty tough, as it is support by the cells. I have banged mine pretty good with stuff without an issue.
