what was your state of charge the previouse day when the sun went down?
Im so used to oversizing my setups that if I don't see a 100% soc whent he sun goes down somthing is wrong like its overcast or the solar is broken. 99% of the time I am back up to 100% by early afternooon, in both the 5th wheel and the camper. the fith wheel I had to do this as I need that power as I only have GC batteries in there so I want to go to bed at 100% every night to make sure I have enough power as I only have 230Ah of usable power and I want to be able to survive a few cloudy days. the camper it has half that but has a 24V 235 watt split cell panel, that believe it or not out preforms the 480 watts of 12V panels I have on the 5th wheel..... the camper has no inverter so its just the furnace I am worried about when camping early spring/lait fall/eairly winter. I know I can go 3 days easy with out sun running the furnace 24/7 at 28 degree night temps and mid 30's day time.
