Nice job, you posted 200W but I only saw one 100W panel? Did I miss something?
The 2nd panel will be ordered 15 November and be installed shortly thereafter. The plan is for 200 watts. I'll bring the genny along this weekend and see how it manages. Once I have the full 200 watts, I'll really run it through some tests and determine if further panels are required. The setup I used will handle up to four 100 watt panels.
Maybe I'll Install it in December since we'll be on the road with it from 21-29 November.
We don't use a whole lot of power. All lights are LEDs. Most of our time spent camping is hiking. We just spend the night in it instead of a tent like we used to. So water pump when needed. Lights. Furnace at night. Fridge. Gas detector. That's about it. When out dry camping we're usually out far enough to where there is no TV signal anyways.
We take the rig out at least once a month. Usually twice.
Thanks to all for the kind words and I'll report back when I've got more.
