Good job, dont use screws though or it will go through the tent, I think you need velcro or similar :)

Shell island is great, haven't been for a while since Landy has been out of action but love it.

Iys a solid one and comes with a fitting kit inc brackets and screws
 
You'll want to waterproof the screw holes.
You can get waterproof grommets for the wires. Officially called cable entry glands, to make them sound more expensive
 
Wow even with the landy in the garage with the doors open the Solar panel still charged the batteries up and whilst i was washing the landy ready for going to shell island on Friday i charged my detector headphones up and it only took 1 hr to charge them whilst it was charging the leisure batteries up, well chuffed 😃
 
I've got 2x105ah batteries in my van with a 20amp b2b charger. It has solar input and if my calcs are right I can go up to 240 watt panels so looking for a couple of 120w.

I'll have a run of cable between panels and then past my rooflight before dropping inside. I've seen 3M cable clips but don't know how well they'll last.
