I plan to use this on my travel trailer while it's in storage. Is there some sort of a mast accessory that can freestand the panel next to it?

I agree with other feedback. I would NOT use this where it is exposed to weather. I keep mine on the south facing dash of my infrequently used truck to keep the remote and security system from draining the battery dead.

Copied this from the description of the product. It states waterproof and spark proof for outdoor use. Built-in 3-step micro controller for precise chargingWaterproof and sparkproof for outdoor installationsEasy, do-it-yourself installationBuilt-in temperature compensation sensor12V nominal voltage 540 mAmps Do you think they are false advertising?

I don't think this Battery Tender solar panel is made for outdoor use. It should placed inside the trailer, behind a south facing window, to receive maximum sun exposure.

You probably have to answer that one for yourself. The bottom 2mount holes are @2 3/4 inches apart. I put mine on a piece of aluminum angle I fixed to the top of the mast. Its pretty straight forward installation you just got to dream up the method on your own. Light works great though. Perfect anchor light, and about 1/3 what I would have paid from WM.

You will need to find a way of holding it. It is not free standing, it is designed to be mounted in an opening.

It doesn't hide mine, but I've seen someone have their plate tied to their trailer in the up position. They probably switch it for each position.

There is a bracket that looks a little like a muffler clamp to attach to a mast/pole. Manufacturers page for antenna: http://www.antennasdirect.com/cmss_files/attachmentlibrary/AntennasDirect_DB2e%20QuickStart_Rev.pdf

My trailer was prewired for a satellite connection, but if it wasn't, I would run the cable into a window near the entertainment center. Some people use there TV cable hook up, but I understand that means you have to eliminate any splitters or boosters that might be in that circuit. I ordered the X2 with the tripod designed for it, and it works well.

Secure it upright somewhere inside the RV, or in a storage compartment if there is enough clearance. I use bungee cords to tie it in place inside one of my storage compartments.

I have a PONTIAC vibe. It has a roof antenna. The board rests on it with no issue. If your concerned get a foam block to put next to it to take the weight.

No, it doesn't come with a mast. I picked up a 7-foot pole from Radio Shack MANY years ago and I have been re-using it. They may still carry them.

I think you can attach the other end of the mast to the base, that can give you a little bit more distance to the vertical wall, but it probably won't be 15" since this mast is only 20 inch long. I have similar requirement, I'm buying it to find out!

None that I know of, you'll have manufacturer one or custom fit it to prefab. I mounted mine on a fishing pole holder

no problem just make sure you mount it to something with hangers provided it is a little heavy for stand alone

That would depend on a number of factors about your intended usages that are unknown to me and I therefore have to answer: maybe. I use my hitch mount while parked for a cellular booster antenna and/or flagpole. It works fine for my application. It is built sturdy.

Certainly, the ground post is separate from the panel. Should be able to clip to a gutter or edge of roof trim. Don't poke holes in your shingles just to mount this though.

You could look at velcro as they have that in sticky both sides. Otherwise some rubber feet or mounting glued on the bottom. My use is with small cords as is substantial the way it is as I can pick it up and move it inside my power station box and out of sight.

I don't have it here as I purchased it for someone else. But best I can remember it has no mounting holes. If I were to mount it I may use Velcro tape. It's not real heavy and should hold it fine.

I can't think of a good way to do that. (I mounted mine where there was an overhang coming out from the wall, and it works well there.)
