Advise on Solar Mounts ....
We scored three 250w solar panels in exchange for some work. This is great as this is how we like to pay for things. Before you get all jiggy on that I'll tell you that Cat is an Electrical Enginee...

Yes, I noticed that small panel on the A/C.
In summer, and without controller, it could even over-charge a small battery if there are no parasitic loads, i.e. engine battery is disconnected from everything except for this panel. OTH, if there is anything drawing power while in storage, it might not be enough to keep the level of charge where it was.
I have a trickle charge mounted under the hood. The cord for it runs into the coach. It's easy to keep that going from inside.
Ultimately Cat wants to convert much of our stuff to 12v. That will involve purchasing 12v adapters for our laptops and electronics. Then we will look at replacing the fridge and eventually the A/C as there are more and more 12v A/C units hitting the market.
If we could get these devices in place we could unplug Jack. The eventual goal.
