Solar panels... very quiet.
And impractical for powering RV air conditioners and other high-power loads that run a lot.
Also useless in heavily-shaded campsites.
You need to brush up on what solar is currently able to do.
You can now Run A/C on solar set ups with enough battery storage.
Of course you need sunshine but A/C capable solar is here.
Oh, I'm fully-brushed.
The amount of panels and batteries needed to run even one 15,000 BTU roof air conditioner for more than a few hours per day is completely impractical for the average RVer.
If you wanted to run the air conditioner 24 hours a day, the average RV roof doesn't even have enough room to mount all the panels that would be required.
Then there's the whole issue of not being able to park your RV in the shade, because the panels need full sunlight to produce any significant power - even though parking an RV in the sun drastically increases its AC cooling requirements.
In many campgrounds, there are no unshaded sites. How do you use your 25 solar panels and 1500 pounds of batteries there?
