First time energy setup advice? (battery+solar)

I am trying to get my new trailer setup for first time use. I recently bought a 98 Prowler 24lz and am in the process of getting it ready for usage. I will be storing this out in Bishop CA in the east...

Hi Jonny,

Here is a graph of how long it takes to charge ONE 100 amp-hour battery, using a 55 amp-hour converter. With 200 amp-hours the charge time is not quite twice as long--but it does illustrate why fully charging with a generator is not economic. Just to add fuel to the fire, charging times increase as the battery temperature drops.
