Max it out. Post a pic of the roof and figure out how to get 500+ watts up there :B
I will measure the space on roof that I have and see what will fit. So far I don't even see a way to run the wires.
(minor side note)...I know this is not good for batteries, but when we do long dry camps in our small Class C, I bring my 6 batteries (all charged) 2 batteries hooked up in RV and my 4 spares and change them out when the little light says they are on 1/4 mark. If we run out of batteries then we live like the chickens in daylight only till end of trip. Sort of fun actually. But that's in the summer not when it's cold. Think hard sided tent.
Wife on "power diet". Yep, been discussed many times. "why bother having an RV if we aren't going to use what the heck is in it?" She's got a point, just wish the power problem could be solved easier.
I use everything in my 21 foot travel trailer... in moderation. Key words, in moderation. They can be taught.
