Has anyone found a right-sized case to do an external mount for their Rover controller? I've got the 100 Watt 12 Volt Solar Starter Kit with 20A Rover MPPT Charge Controller for my small popup, and I'd prefer not to drill any new holes if I don't have to. I'm planning to attach the mounting hardware to the roof with 3M VHB (but not affix the panel to the roof until I arrive at camp) and then place my Rover Controller in a weatherproof case outside the camper underneath one of the slide-out beds. In that way, the controller will have cover from the bed as well as being inside a case. The controller is: 211mm x 152mm x 61mm I found this one, but the reviews sound as if the cover is difficult to take on and off, and it doesn't look to be vented. www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZY2WJVTThis one is also close, and better in that it's a see-through cover, but too small. www.amazon.com/dp/B017LB9XY4Any other popup camper folks out there that have rigged up their Renogy panels without creating new leak points in their pup? Thanks! Brian

Search for "SOCKiTBOX" -- they sell them on Amazon & eBay. I think I would have tried that had I not opted for inside mounting. Sockitbox is made for weatherproofing electrical connections (e.g., extension cords) and come in a variety of sizes. Unfortunately, it's not clear :-(

Thanks, took a look at this but would ventilation for the controller be an issue?
