solar battery charger question
We almost always camp with electric hookups so a lot of solar is not needed.
We do stop over at my Daughters house in Jax on the way to the Keys and on the way back. We do not stay in the TT there but we do run the frig on gas. This and the parasitic drains will run the battery down in a day or two. We have to park across the street from their house so running an extention cord for a charger across the pavement is a problem. I have been removing the battery and charging it in their garage, when it gets down to about 50%, if we are there for more than a few days. Really don't want to add another battery or golf cart batteries, unless we have too, since we don't really need the extra capacity normally.
Question: Is there a solar charger that is portable, not too big, not too expensive, that would keep up with the discharge caused by the frig / parasitic drains in a temp situation?
Don't really need it at home since we can plug into a outlet there to charge the battery / run frig when getting ready to leave, although we could use it there too. Solar orientation is good in both places.
Ideas?
