Phoneguy, are you doing this and if you are, how long are your cables? How far can you reach for the sunlight?
My tv is a pick-up with a topper that has doors on the sides. This is where I will keep my batteries,charge controller,and an inverter for the AC. The panels are on the top of the topper. I will park in the shade and use a (start out w/50') of shore cable to hook with the house cable. So in theory I can park the truck 50' from the camper to be in the sun. Seems how the batteries are in the back of the truck I could also run a cable to the truck battery and alternator but only as a backup to solar. If you do this,you don't want to do it very long and make sure you have amp gauges everywhere so you can monitor the charge. Deep cycle don't like to be charged to fast.
