Thanks, this is probably one-axis (west to east) solution, but it's the only less complex solution that is easy to automate, maintain, and handle off-roading(when retracted flat, of course)
It definitely beats parking the van facing north and reparking again at noon to face south.
You only gotta worry about greasing that central gigantic screw, as IMO is the only vulnerable point exposed to the elements.
The actuators and motors are splash proof. They will also be protected on the metal case when fully retracted and moving at highway speeds
