Outlets Off while Boonedocking

bfast54 air stream is $4000.00 per foot. 23 x 4 = $92,000.00

Glendale TItaniums FW came with inverter installed for running entertainment units.

Exactually my point.........:W......Thanks.....:C

Don
I thought that magnum was $1200,?
Where does someone buy 1650 watts of solar for $800

And don't forget all the install expense wire labor etc..
Please break it down and provide links

I hoped that 1 outlet would have already been designated to work for a short time with an inverter, Bfast54. Thanks for your help. We Hope to go solar to recharge.

I am not aware of any RVs currently wired for An outlet --- off of an inverter

(No demand....)....besides......someone would plug an AIR CONDITIONER in......expect it to run all night.

The 2017 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB (a 23 foot travel trailer) that I bought and will take delivery of this coming Thursday has a 1,000 watt inverter with 3 outlets connected as a standard feature. The outlets are the television location, the Blu-Ray player/radio location, and the outlet in the dining area. All 3 of the outlets are accessible to me.

Now that's cool!

Bobbo........
So....please tell us
Whats the PRICE????????
( hint...I have toured AIRSTREAM FACTORY..)..most recently 2 yrs ago.

My statement still stands

So far I have heard examples of $100,000 (+) BUSSES .. and this Airstream which I believe would be $65,000 -- or near that.

Actually, bfast54 is closer. However, I don't see his point. The quote

didn't stipulate a price point, and was responded to. I fail to see the significance of the price.

Hi,

My coffee pot consumes just 7 amp-hours for a full pot.

More and more folks are putting in solar panels that have enough oomph to run an air conditioner. If one has a capable inverter, the cost of parts to do so is under $2000.00 (Magnum PT-100 and 1650 watts of panels).

2 batteries and a solar panel will not run high current items, one pot of coffee or hair dryer and they would need recharged. Forget running the A/C on solar, just not practical.

Like I said education is the best answer to making a informed decision.

Like I said it's not practical, especially if you only have room for two batteries.

Hi Mr Wizard,

Imarine is selling the PT-100 for 700.

https://www.solarblvd.com/products/ecosolargy-230-watt-24-volt-solar-panel/ $72 each $504 for seven totaling 1610 watts. If there is room you could add one more--so $576 gets you to 1840 watts.

That leaves about $700 to 800 for other materials.

The Magnum input voltage for a 12 volt output is a maximum of 187 volts. So the entire string of seven could be in series (168 volts).

Don ... shouldn't multiple 24 volt solar panels be wired in parallel so that if one or more of them happen to be shaded (tree limb shadow, air conditioner shadow, etc.) ... total panel voltage level wouldn't turn out being too low going into the Magnum?

It seems like seven 24V panels wired in parallel would be a more reliable setup than wiring them in series.

Hi Phil,

I'd prefer an even number of panels and I'd wire in series parallel so 96 volts per string.

There is some discussion that the PT-100 can't do 100 amps output unless the input voltage is about 70 vdc.

If I were starting over I'd have battery bank voltage of 48. But being on a beer budget.......

Diodes should take care of that.
