Charging While Towing
Newbie to the forum here. Looked around a bit and didn't see anything specific so worth a fresh post. We just took our first long trip in my 16ft TT after I installed a new (4)6-volt 460AH system ...

For someone who says he's electricity dumb, you sound like you are doing quite well! Just FYI, I have a similar trailer (even smaller), and we get along great with a 120 watt portable solar -- plug and play, easy to use, store, and deploy. There are pluses and minuses to rooftop systems (or should I say positives and negatives?).
Also, replace those incandescent bulbs with warm white LEDs asap -- big savings on juice!
And welcome to the forums! What kind of a trailer do you have, and where are you going next?
It's a 2015 Pacific Coachworks Mighty Lite 16BB that somehow didn't sell, got repo'd, something and went to auction where it got bought/flipped to me last summer. Had all the manuals, dealer prep delivery checklists, but couldn't find a scratch on it. I was really just picking around for a 3,000 lb trailer with bunks AND a full and as few moving pieces as possible. Somehow I got it matching my rig!
This electricity thing was just my second real mod. First was to upsize from those scary 14" pizza cutters to a D-rated 215/75R15 LT tire, over/under the axle, and mount some Monroe gas shocks under there all with the intent of dragging it down a bunch of off road trails.
Next up is some dispersed wilderness near Sequoia NP and down into Kings Canyon NP by the river.
