280 watt solar install on Nash TT with video
About a month ago I installed a 280 watt solar panel setup on my Nash 25c and filmed it. The Nash, like all Northwood products, come pre-wired for solar so it was easier then a complete new wire run....

I get no luck with solar at Rathtrevor at all. Maybe 1/2 an amp part of the day so I don't even bother with solar in the provincial parks around here. In the warm half of the year we have had off-grid camping in the open, so the solar has really paid off. Totally different game and also for long term instead of a long weekend.
Can't say about off-grid in the open or part open in the cold half of the year (where is that you can get open off grid in winter?).
Im not much of a provincial park camper, i prefer the wilderness campsites if u even want to call them that. The winter time is an exception though as we dont have as many days to take off so we do go to rathtrevor or miracle beach then. (plus its only $11 night) Like you said, solar is useless there because of heavy shade and extremely low sun angle (if its out!). Where do I get solar charging in winter? Would have to be lakeside and southern exposure. Here is a picture taken in late october on a rare sunny day! You can see how low the sun already is, I think any later in the year you would need tilting panels to benefit.
