Ready to get my feet wet with Solar power
Thought I would post my idea here and let the experts tell me what I am missing. First off, I own 2ea RV's. 1 is a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters and the other is a bumper pull prowler....

Just IMO, but it think you are getting way ahead of yourself, based on our experience.
The best bet is to just get out there and try it first with what you have or with just a small set-up to try out. Build from there. There is no panic to get it right the first time( not possible).
It depends so much on how the places you will go to are set up what you can use when you get there. Then it depends how long you are in one spot, what is worth setting up of your own.
Yes, don't get that HF inverter. You will soon want something else.
I do like contraptions for portable solar. It is amazing what you can get in AH from using one instead of just having solar flat on the roof. I think your cart with big panels will not work though. Too much panel, not enough cart. Anyway you probably don't need anywhere near that much solar for four 6's.
Handy Bob is not universally admired, but he does have some good points. As with anything else, check lots of sources to get a balanced view. But the main thing is nobody else camps like you do, which means you have to learn on the job.
So take it slowly, and find out what you need in real life over time. There is lots of time, and the old brain keeps coming up with new and better ideas while you are out there. Keep your powder dry and your money in your wallet till you get out there a few times. :)
